Question 1

I recently got a urine test done for my grandmother. The report shows full/high pus cells and 4 to 6 epithelial cells per HPF. Could you please explain what this indicates and if any further action or treatment is needed?

Question 2

Hi, my wife and I went on a 12 days international vacation and were scheduled to go for our 12 week pregnancy scan immediately after returning. We had a long international flight and got the scan and urine test immediately. While the NT scan and other reports are fine, the urine report shows 6 to 8 pus cells with a urine pH of 8. Is this possibly due to temporary dehydration from travel or is it something more serious? My wife does not have any other symptoms and is fine. We are asking this since we can only meet our doctor in a wee time. Thanks.

Question 3

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?

What's the cause of pus cells increasing in urine?

Pus cells increasing in urine may indicate that you are having an active infection in the body, mostly UTI infection.
