Q: micro urine test results wbc, 0 - 2, normal < 5 rbc, 0 - 2, normal < 3 squam epithel, rare bacteria, rare mucus 1+ concerns? is ongoing monitor req?

Within normal limits: Your urine results are within normal limits. If you do not have any symptoms, there is no need for on-going monitoring more often than your regular yearly checks.

Q: i had a specled ana come back from the lab, also squam epithel, hyaline casts, urobilinogen was lowand leukocytes =1in urine. autoimmune testing?

Rheumatologist: These urinalysis findings are nonspecific and don't denote any kidney disease. The ANA findings are also nondiagnostic and a titer would be more meaningful. A rheumatologist would be best qualified to evaluate your symptoms and recommend any further testing depending on his or her assessment.

Q: what is ua squam epithelial and the cause? how do i treat it at home?

: Those are normal cells in your urine, no need for treatment. If your urine is contaminated with the vaginal area, more squamous epithelial cells will be seen in microscopic result of urinalysis. If you take the urine sample half stream and make sure urine is not in contact with the surrounding area, those SE cells will be less.

Q: had routine labs done and microscopic urine said: "squam epi/lpf: occasional (abnormal)". can you please tell me what this means? everything else related to urine sample said negative?

: As written the words are gibberish. Squamous epithelium on a low power field is an occasional finding in a normal urine analysis. Why the word abnormal is placed in the statement is something you should clarify with whoever did it. It does not make sense in this context.

Q: what does it mean to have many amphormous uthrates, and squam epithal in urine analysis. also rbc 5-9, bacteria few, blood small?

Need a clean catch: Sounds like the usual contamination of a urine specimen not obtained by a clean catch. A clean catch is a urine specimen obtained in the mid stream of urination, not at the beginning or end and also done after the privates are cleaned in advance. If still bacteria, need doc check.

Q: dad recently diagnosis w mod.differentiated keratinizing squam.cell ca his e.n.t dr awaiting on aurthorization from ins.for ct scan prior sx, should we wait?

MOHS Surgery: Mohs surgery has come to be accepted as the single most effective technique for removing basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (bccs and sccs), the two most common skin cancers. It accomplishes the nifty trick of sparing the greatest amount of healthy tissue while also most completely expunging cancer cells; cure rates for bcc and scc are an unparalleled 98 percent or higher.

Q: can you interpret, squam epi cells few a, alpha 2 protein 1.01 h, possible faint igm lambda monoclonal protein present, ace serum 75 h?

No: Can't interpret random blood test results without context. Talk to the doctor that ordered the tests. Most medical tests (x-rays, blood tests, etc., ) are better at telling us what you don't have rather than diagnosing what (if anything) you do have wrong with you.

Question 1

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Just about every voided urine from a female washes a few cells from surrounding labia and vagina and skin.  Thus a few normal  Squamous epithelial cells.   Which are of no consequence.

Question 2
