Contamination: is probable if they didnt obtain the specimen with a catheter. With a 'clean catch' it is rare to not get some wbc

Urinalysis: Although your urinalysis is slightly abnormal you have not given adequate information for us to give you any suggestions. We do not know if this was a clean catch urine or a catheterized specimen. We do not know if you have had some vaginal bleeding or discharge. We don't know if you are having urinary symptoms or having systemic symptoms such as a fever and chills. Was the urine cultured?
