A few epithelial cells in your urine is quite normal.
These "pus" cells are white blood cells and if the urine is collected correctly, there should be none or very few.
In a healthy individual the urine should only have a very few cells, but in some diseases like cystitis (bladder infection) there can be a lot.
Epithelial cells in urine generally means that the urine was not a clean mid-stream collection. Epithelial cells, are lining cells of the urethra and are constantly being turned over and sloughed. These cells are commonly called squamous epithelial cells. These cells can also indicate vaginal or perianal contamination. By voiding the first few mL of urine before collecting, there should be a very minimal amount of epithelial cells in the urine. There should only be concern when the epithelial cells found are determined to be renal epithelial cells. And are only concerning in high concentrations. These cells come from the renal tubules and can be a sign of renal disease and should be followed up by your physician.
I had scant urothelial cells present in my urine test. What does this mean?
pus cells showing in urine after using antibiotic ..what should do
Urine is a generally thought of as a sterile body fluid, therefore, evidence of white blood cells or bacteria in the urine is considered abnormal and may suggest a urinary tract infection such as, bladder infection (cystitis), infection of kidney (pyelonephritis). White blood cells may be detected in the urine through a microscopic examination (pyuria or leukocytes in the blood). They can be seen under high power field and the number of cells are recorded (quantitative).
There were a few white blood cells in your urine sample.
A type of urine analysis in which you look for cells in the urine, not chemical components, and usually especially looking for cells of bladder or kidney cancer.
no
Hypotonic urine is when the water outside the cells are trying to get inside the cells in the blastoids of the indicrine system
White blood cells are usually not found in the urine due to the kidney. When there are white blood cells in the urine this if due to an infection. The kidney becomes inflamed and this allows the passing of white blood cells.
What does it mean when there are higher than normal levels of renal epithelial cells in urine?
