What is the definition or description of: urinalysis microscopic exam shows pus cells?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Urine "pus" cells...: Typically urine is sterile, in that it does not contain any white blood cells. By pus cells, i assume that you mean neutrophils in your urine sample. In large quantities, neutrophils in your urine sample can be associated with an infection, a stone, tumors, etc. Your doctor should be able to help interpret their importance in your specific case.

It may indicate the presence of bacteria in the urine or a urinary tract infection depending on whether there are symptoms. Please consult your primary care doctor for treatment.
