Is it okay to get 10-12 pus cells in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My urine test report shows pus cells 10 to 15 per high power field. I want to know if this is abnormal, and which specialist should be consulted.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
