These are typical urinalysis results for urinary tract infection (UTI). You don't mention the culture result; most likely it will be positive for E. coli or similar bacteria. Discuss treatment with your doctor. Good luck.

This is a report of a urinalysis and not culture, which shows which and how many bacteria grew . This test suggests a urinary infection. Drink plenty of water and see your docor Urologist for treatment
