Question 1

i just had my urinalysis and my wbc is 40-50 /hpf. what is the meaning of this?

Accepted Answer

Elevated WBC's: You have more white blood cells than you should in your urine.  This usually is associated with a urinary track infection.  Speak with your doctor.

Question 2

i'm not pregnant and my epithelial cells were 13-20 /hpf. what is this and what should i be aware of if anything?

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: as long as there were no dysplastic cells on your pap, you should be fine.

Now if you are talking about a urine sample, then this is just contamination. also not to worry

Question 3

2-6/hpf(1+) wat does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Microscopy: This is saying that 2-6 cells were seen in one high-power field (hpf).  And that correlates to a 1+ rating.  I'm assuming this is on a urinalysis, but it could be on a number of other tests as well.  Hope this helps!!

Question 4

what does non-significant: rare/hpf: mean?

Accepted Answer

What is rare?: Your question is unclear. I guess you are referring to a urine examination report and what ever the person was looking at is rare enough to be not of concern.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 5

what does 5 wbcs/hpf mean?

Accepted Answer

Depends: 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,  if you mean in urine results, it is suggestive of infection. Specifically it means that five white blood cells were seen in each high power field of the microscope.

Question 6

rbc is 8-10 hpf, this is normal?

Accepted Answer

.low RBC: We use the term hemoglobin rather than RBC. Most labs have a lower limit of normal around 12 or so.  A level below the lower limit of normal can be 'normal' for about 5% of the US population. Key here is to see if a prior level was higher.  Anemia is the term we use to describe a low hemoglobin and causes should be found.

Question 7

what is the. best way to treat pus cells 
that reads 0-1/ hpf in a female of 31 years?

Accepted Answer

: We don't treat lab results we treat conditions. Your post does not provide any indication of what the test is, why it was taken or other related information about health issues. You are welcome to start over &amp; provide context of this report. It may be normal.

Question 8

i did a swab test which showed pus cells /hpf 3-4 and epith test 3-4. plz what does it mean i?

Accepted Answer

Not clear: It is not clear in the question what what the swab test was done on. Was this on saliva, urine, skin, an area concerning for infection? Consider contacting the doctor who performed the test. Seek clarification on why the test was done and what the test results indicate. Then ask for clarification on the plan of care.

Question 9

what does bacteria, hpf mean?

Accepted Answer

Bacteria: Hpf stands for "high power field" and refers to the area seen under a high power microscope in one field. If you can see a single bacteria in this field it means that there are at least 10, 000 bacteria per milliliter in the fluid being examined (generally urine).  The usual standard for diagnosis of UTI on a single specimen is &gt;1000, 000/ml, but this can vary.

Question 10

what does rbc   occ/hpf mean on a urinalysis?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria: Means that under microscopic examination there were occasional red blood cells seen in the urine. Discuss with physician that ordered urinalysis to determine what next step may be.
