No: The epithelial cells indicate there's some contamination from your vagina, where there are always some white blood cells also. Calcium oxalate in solution is not a problem; some of it precipiates as the urine cools. Stop worrying.

Stone risk: Stone risk is moderate: we all form calcium oxalate crystals if dehydrated; this likely was the case: to reduce risk: Avoid: beets, spinach, rhubarb, strawberries, nuts, chocolate, tea, wheat bran, and all dry beans; fish and egg whites should be major protein source; minimize meat and poultry; add ReaLemon Extract 5 tablespns/day and 12 oz OJ / day; drink 4 liters fluid per day; low salt always
