Question 2

Accepted Answer

Need to evaluate: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, the results you provided are abnormal it would be prudent to consult the doctor who ordered the tests for further evaluation.
Wish you good health.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 5

blood in urine 8 years boy, rbc count 35 on that urine sample and next uthne sample had 5-6 rbc and then 3rd sample no rbc what is the cause? this happened 3rd time since last nov 2020. 1st time in nov 2020 2nd time in aug 16 2021 3rd time 9 sept 21?

Accepted Answer

: What was the reason your boy had first urine test in November 2020? Two of 3 times were positive for microscopic hematuria so it is considered abnormal. If kidney function is normal by blood test, I will check urine one more time in 3 months. If hematuria is positive again, imaging studies of the urinary tract should be done. If renal function is abnormal, he should be evaluated by a nephrologist.

Question 6

hello. i'm planning to do a urine sample pcr test (abbott) for n.gonorrhoea and c trachomatis. 1 month has passed since the last sexual exposure. are the urine pcr's enough sensitive to detect these two std's?

: Yes, it should detect the disease if you are infected.

Question 7

why did i have to take a urine sample?

Accepted Answer

Well,: A urine test checks different components of urine, a waste product made by the kidneys. A regular urine test may be done to help find the cause of symptoms. The test can give information about your health and problems you may have.

Question 8

what does "c" stand for with a urine sample?

Accepted Answer

Probably culture: Usually order urine c&s meaning culture and sensitivity.

Question 9

why has my urine sample got white bits in it?

Accepted Answer

Possible yeast...: It could be related to a yeast infection(fungal vaginal infection caused by candida albicans) especially if you have vaginal itching, irritation and whitish thick discharge. If this is the case talk to your doctor in order to get medication prescribed for it.

Question 10

i poked myself while getting a urine sample should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No: How did you do that? What do you mean by poked yourself? If the "poking" did not involve a dirty sharp instrument, you are okay.
