What does 5 wbcs/hpf mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, if you mean in urine results, it is suggestive of infection. Specifically it means that five white blood cells were seen in each high power field of the microscope.
