I had a UTI and was treated with cefixime 400 mg twice a day for 7 days. Here are the results of my repeat urinalysis: color yellow, transparency slightly turbid, specific gravity 1.010, reaction pH 5.0, sugar/albumin/protein negative, WBC pus cells 8 to 12 hpf, RBC 0 to 2 hpf, epithelial cells moderate, and bacteria few. What does this mean?

Mild elevation of pus cells can remain after UTI treatment. If youre symptom free, no further treatment is needed. Hydration and hygiene help. Recheck if symptoms recur.

What is the meaning of HPF in urinalysis?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently had a urine test showing 6 to 10 pus cells. Today, I noticed an extra mass of skin near my anus, which is also painful. Could this be something serious, or is it related to a urinary tract infection? Please advise.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

If urine test report and pus cells are occasional, is there a need to take a tablet just like Martifur 100 mg?
