Hi, I have attached my thyroid and urine reports. In the urine report, it shows 6 to 8 pus cells. Is this normal, or does it indicate an infection that requires treatment?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My urine test report shows pus cells 80 to 100, epithelial cells 25 to 30, and sediment present. I did this test because I experienced pain on the right side below my stomach one night. Since then, I have not had any pain.

My wife has been experiencing body ache, backache, fatigue, and a burning sensation while passing urine. She had urine and blood tests today. The report shows trace albumin in urine and 8 to 10 pus cells. Could you please advise whether this indicates a kidney problem or a normal urinary tract infection? Should we be concerned about the albumin in urine, and is it likely due to infection or kidney damage?
