My routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?

This could indicate a mild urinary tract infection. Drink more fluids, cranberry juice, maintain hygiene, and consult a doctor if you experience burning or pain while urinating. A short course of antibiotics may be advised after a urine culture. Get advised tests done.

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - URINE (AUTOMATED) Test or Take a RENAL PROFILE/KIDNEY FUNCTION TEST (RFT/KFT) Test

Hi, I am a 36 year old female. I developed a urinary tract infection last week and am currently taking antibiotics for it. During the infection, I experienced fever, shivering, and significant weakness. My urine report showed protein as well as a large number of pus cells. Can a UTI cause protein to appear in the urine?
