A member asked:
In my urinalysis my bacteria 1 came back as rare and my mucous came back as few. they were both flagged, what does that mean?

Nothing: Depending on your symptoms- some would read this as negative. I would look at the Nitrites and the Leukocytes to help me determine appropriate management. If both arer negative, I wouldn't treat with antibiotics. Good luck!

Not a problem: These are insignificant findings and do not reflect any urine or kidney disease or problem. No worries.
