Elevated WBC and epithelial cells suggest a possible UTI. Since delivery is near, consult doctor promptly, antibiotics may be needed to prevent complications.

Respected mam, I have attached my urine report. Can NFT be cured? Is it something critical or just a simple infection?

Hi, my baby, 4 years old, has had a fever for the past 2 days and went for a urine test as he is passing urine frequently, almost every 30 minutes, drop by drop. Please find the report below and let us know if he has an infection?

My urine routine examination showed slightly turbid urine with a pH of 6. Urine albumin and sugar were absent. C reactive protein was 13. RBCs in urine were absent, epithelial cells were 2 to 4 per hpf, pus cells were 6 to 8 per hpf, and there were no casts or crystals. My complete blood count showed hemoglobin of 11.5?g per dL, WBC 5800, MCH 35.5?pg, and MCHC 33.3?g per dL.
