The most obvious indicator of bacterial infection in the urine is the presence of bacteria; this is often quantified in terms of the number of pus cells in the urine.

What is the treatment for pus cells in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I am 23 weeks pregnant, and my urine report shows pus cells 4 to 5/hpf and epithelial cells 8 to 10/hpf. Is this normal? Please suggest what I should 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.
