Question 1

i  had a urine test. it showed the urine was cloudy & the squamous epithelial cell count was abnormal (>50/lpf abnormal) what could this mean?

Accepted Answer

Contamination : When there are more than 5 to 10 squamous epithelium cells per high-powered field that means a urine sample was contaminated with skin cells. Any type of culture of the urine will demonstrate the presence of skin bacteria.

Question 2

occult blood trace in urine test and squamous epithelial cells 0-5, what could this means?

Accepted Answer

Blood Tests: Any results from your blood tests should be discussed with the physician who ordered them.

Question 3

in a recent urine test of a son diagnosed cerebral palsy, the report shows squamous epithelial cell..0-1/hpf and pus..... 0-1/hpf,  what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Pyurea: Pus in urine might need urine culture to rule out infection

Question 4

what does it mean when you have squamous epithelial cells in urine?

Accepted Answer

Not worrisome: Squamous cells in urine could be contamination from genitalia's squamous epithelium mucosa or from trigone area of urinary bladder (female). Not worrisome. We are talking about benign squamous cells.

Question 5

high squamous epithelial cells in urine 21-50 /hpf is mine. i read online it could be liver disease or kidney disease am i right?

Accepted Answer

: No. A likely explanation is contamination of the urine with skin cells or vaginal fluid.

Question 6

what does it mean if you have a result of many epithelial cells in a urine test?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal cells in it: Epithelial cells come from vagina and introitus and not from the urinary tract ; are a normal finding ; no cause for alarm. Squamous epithelial cells are a different matter ; could be from a squamous bladder growth. This would be uncommom in someone as young as you unless you born with bladder exstrophy.

Question 7

i am 21 female. urine test shows specific gravity- 1010 & epithelial cells- 3-5/hpf.
is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Your urine is fairly dilute with a SG of 1.010. Epthelial cells are quite normal in a female. These came from your vagina. There would likely be less or no epithelial cells if your labia were widely separated &amp; you caught a mid-stream specimen. No RBCS, WBCs or bacteria is excellent. Good Luck, no cause for any concern

Question 8

i am a male aged 22 years
urine test reports show that the pus cells are 3-4 hpf and epithelial cells are 0-2 hpf.
is this normal?

Accepted Answer

WhiteBloodCells, not: &quot;pus&quot; cells. WBCs are the cancer &amp; infection fighting cells of the body, 5 different classes as viewed under a microscope (such as in urine analysis); many more classes by function. Generally, &lt;5 WBC/HFP on UA microscopic examination is considered normal, i.e. usual/common. Low epithelial cells/HFP is c/w clean catch mid-stream sample with little surface skin cell contamination.

Question 9

i did my regular urine test. and report syas that i have rare epithelial cells and  pus cells 0-2/hpf. why it happens? is there any serious prob

Accepted Answer

Sounds normal.: Normal urine may contain a few skin cells and white blood cells.  As long as you have no symptoms this seems normal.

Question 10

i am a 20 years male.my urine test show pus cell 8-10/hpf and epithelial cells are 3-4/hpf.what can i do now?i will be happy if you answer myquestion.

Accepted Answer

Contaminated sample?: This could be an infection, including the possibility of an STD. However, it could have been a contaminated specimen if not a careful midstream collection, or if you are uncircumcised and did not retract your foreskin when you voided for the sample. Contact the doctor who ordered the test and discuss repeat urinalysis and/or other tests, e.g. gonorrhea and chlamydia if at risk for STD. Good luck!
