Hi Sir. I have had back pain for one week, and today I developed fever, cold, and cough. I got my blood and urine tested. After the urine test, the doctor informed me that I have a urinary infection. The test showed albumin (present +) and pus cells 3 to 4/HPF. The doctor suggested taking Cystone syrup. After one day, I am fine from fever, cold, and cough, but I sometimes get pain in my right lower rib. What should I do?

The presence of albumin and pus cells in urine suggests a mild urine infection. Fever and cold improving with treatment is a good sign. However, right lower rib pain could mean the infection is mildly affecting the kidney area. Its best to repeat a Urine Routine Test and do a Renal Ultrasound to check for kidney involvement. Drink plenty of fluids and complete your course of medicine.

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?

My grandma had her routine blood checkup in which her urine report shows pus cells 15 to 20 per hpf. She does not have any complaints except occasional urinary incontinence for which she is taking Ayurvedic medicine. What does the presence of pus cells indicate?
