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?

FULL/HPF pus cells means significant infection or inflammation in the urinary tract. Epithelial cells (4 to 6/HPF) are slightly elevated, likely due to urinary lining shedding. This may suggest a urine infection (UTI), especially if she has burning, fever, or urgency. A urine culture is advised to find the right antibiotic. Please consult a doctor for treatment.

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?

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.
