A member asked:

Pus cells 4-5/hpf in urine, what does that mean?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Pus: Pus is composed of decayed material and largely white blood cells. 4-5 per high power field is a relatively low amount. This suggests that there has been an inflammatory reaction or immune response. If other lab findings support it this could represent an infection or other condition that needs treatment. Be sure to talk with your doctor for further assistance.

Depends!: Did you do a mid-stream clean catch specimen(Cleaning 2-3 times before collecting)? If not, these could be cells from the skin around your urethra and not in your urine. Also, any test result has to be considered along with your symptoms. Are you having any problems urinating, a fever, abdominal or back pain? Why was the test ordered.? To best answer your question ask the doc who ordered it.
