A 6-10 result on urinalysis of squamous epithelial cells is a sample contaminated by vaginal infection. If there are signs of infection a swab needs to be obtained by a physician.
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.
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).
What does it mean when mucous rare in an urinalysis
Epithelial tissue, which covers the whole body, is made up of closely packed cells arranged in one or more layers. This tissue covers or forms the lining of all internal and external body surfaces.
White blood cells are indicative of an infection.
Squamous epithelial cells are scale like layers of cells that pose no risk. When referencing rare squamous epithelial cells it just means that there are not a lot of them.
Squamous epithelial cells are the type of cells found on the cervix. That phrase on its own does not indicate any abnormality.
Stratified refers to layers. The epithelial cells are arranged as such.
joke lang yan?hah
It means that the doctor didn't get enough cells from the pap/swab to be evaluatable. I just had one done and it read that way too and I asked what it meant too. Hope this helped

Endocervical and/or squamous cells are normal on a pap smear. This notation on your result means the test was complete.
There are a number of issues with epithelial cells in urine. Depending upon the origin of the epithelial cells it could mean you didn't wipe well and contaminated the test to issues with your kidneys.
What does it mean when there are higher than normal levels of renal epithelial cells in urine?

Wbc = inflamitory response, infection epithelial cells usually from lining in mouth and makes sputum sample inadequate for culture
Squamous superficial cells on a pap smear means that estrogen-containing cells are present on the surface of the cervix. This can be a normal aging process or from an outside source, such as chemotherapy. It is best to seek medical opinion for a definitive answer as to the cause of these cells being present.
