WhiteBloodCells, not: "pus" cells. WBCs are the cancer & infection fighting cells of the body, 5 different classes as viewed under a microscope (such as in urine analysis); many more classes by function. Generally, <5 WBC/HFP on UA microscopic examination is considered normal, i.e. usual/common. Low epithelial cells/HFP is c/w clean catch mid-stream sample with little surface skin cell contamination.

3-4-0-2 HIKE!!!: If you don't have any symptoms I wouldn't worry. If you have symptoms, like PWP (Pain While Pissing) I'd need to know a little more about you. There could be lots of reasons to get your urine tested and you didn't say why. Something leaking out?Stain your underwear? Feeling sick (nausea, dizzy, etc)? Fever? Pain elsewhere? Peeing more or less than usual? But just 3-4 per hpf is not too impressive.
