What does epithelial cells in urine mean?

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'm assuming you are referring to a result from a Urine test. Epithelial cells are skin cells. The lab will report this on urine analysis and it usually means the urine sample is contaminated with skin cells rather than just urine.
