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.

I want to know if my 9 month old baby urine report is normal or not. Should I be concerned and consult a doctor? The report shows pus cells 15 to 20 per HPF, epithelial cells 1 to 2 per HPF, reaction 7.6, specific gravity 1015, leukocytes, and ketone negative.

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?

This is the second time I am experiencing frequent urination. The last episode was about 4 months ago, when my urine test showed bacteria and I was prescribed antibiotics by a doctor, after which the problem resolved. Now the issue has come back. I have attached my urine test report. Please advise.
