Hi, I am 22 weeks pregnant. My recent tests show: Glucose challenge test: 65 mg/dL Urine: Pus cells 5 to 6/hpf, Epithelial cells 4 to 6/hpf Hemoglobin: 11.1 g/dL Are these results normal, or is there anything to be concerned about?

My 9 month old daughter routine urine test showed 500 pus cells per hpf. A follow up urine culture showed occasional white blood cells per hpf but no bacterial growth after two days of incubation. What should be the next steps? Currently, she is taking Levomac, Zifi, Maxtra, and Econorm, and I am giving her a liquid diet along with breastfeeding.

The routine urine examination shows albumin trace and pus cells 100 to 125. The previous urine culture showed Klebsiella species. I have attached my urine culture and current urine routine test report. Please help.
