My urine test report shows: pH: 6.2 Albumin: Trace Sugar and Cast: Nil Pus cells: 7 to 8/hpf Epithelial cells: 2 to 3/hpf Crystals, RBC, Bacteria: Nil Are the albumin and pus cell counts within the normal range, or do they need medical attention?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My baby is 6 months old and has had a fever for the last 5 days. After consultation, we did a urine test. The report shows albumin as traces and pus cells 8 to 10. I want to know if this is a matter of concern and, on a general basis, how long it usually takes to recover after starting treatment.
