Yes, the presence of pus cells/white blood cells in the urine often indicates an infection in the urinary tract. Bladder infections, STDs, and other types of infections may be the cause.
Urine cytology is a test that examines urine under a microscope to look for abnormal cells, such as cancer cells. It is often used as a non-invasive way to detect early signs of bladder cancer or other urinary tract cancers. The test can help in diagnosing and monitoring the progression of these cancers.
Hypotonic urine refers to urine with a lower concentration of solutes compared to the blood plasma. This means that there is a higher water content in the urine relative to the solute concentration. It can be a result of various conditions affecting the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine effectively.
In a dilute urine sample, cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and epithelial cells may appear less concentrated or even lyse due to the increased water content. This can make it challenging to interpret the presence of these cells accurately, as they may be less visible and their identification may be less reliable.
Epithelial cells in urine are often reported in female samples due to the higher likelihood of contamination from the female genital tract, where they are more abundant. In males, the presence of epithelial cells is less common and may indicate pathology, as the male urethra has a different structure and function. Thus, while both genders can have epithelial cells in urine, their significance and interpretation differ, leading to more routine reporting in females.
No, it is not normal to have poop in urine. Urine is produced by the kidneys and does not contain fecal matter. If you notice this, it may indicate a medical issue and you should consult a healthcare provider.
No. Urine comes from the bladder.
It smells since it builds up in your body.
A few epithelial cells in your urine is quite normal.
I would say urine or feces regardless of the animal would be toxic. Especially as urine alone contains ammonia.
I had scant urothelial cells present in my urine test. What does this mean?
Yes, probably.
They wear scrubs to protect from the urine and poop.
Birds do not urinate. They expel a mix of urine and feces (poop).
Poop is mainly composed of water, bacteria, undigested food particles, dead cells, and mucus.
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?
