urine test shows trace of protein, wbc at 0-2 p.c., bacteria + and epithelial cells +. can you please advise what this might indicate?

Question

Urine test : protein (1+) , trace of blood, few bacteria, hyaline cast/lpf (0-1), mucus rare. RBC/hpf 3-4, WBC/hpf 4-6, should I be worried?

Answer 1

Normal: This is a normal urinalysis that has not been collected in an optimal "clean - catch" manner. Note: even with the most careful technique, the results may still be the same, especially for women.

Answer 2

UTI: Your lab values could be consistent with a urinary tract infection. Symptoms can include frequency, burning of urination and abdominal pain. Follow with a provider.

Answer 3

Infection: May be infection in urinary tract, so best to get evaluated and treated, then have the ua repeated and continue the work up if abnormalities persist.

Answer 4

Yes: There are 3 major types of bacterial meningitis after the age of 2 months -- hib, pneumococcal, and meningococcal. There are effective vaccines for the major strains of all of them. E. Coli and group b strep are responsible for most cases of meningitis under 2 months of age; there are no vaccines for them, yet, and treatment of certain maternal infections is key to lessen the risk of such illnes.

Answer 5

Yes: Infants of 2 months or older receive Hib (hemophilus influenzae, type b) and pneumococcal vaccine to protect them from getting serious infections including meningitis caused by the two most common bacteria. Meningitis in infants under 2 months of age is most often caused by group b 'strep' infection against which we do not have a vaccine.

Answer 6

Treat it: Symptoms of urgency, frequency and burning with the urinary nitrites and leukocytes should be treated. Such infections sometimes do not yield a culture because the specimen was taken after you took the antibiotics or specimen was not collected or transported properly. Symptomatic urinary tract infection should be treated.

Answer 7

Unlikely: If all testing negative, i doubt it. You may have simply not ovulated last cycle and that is why you are so late. Are your periods normally regular? Check with your obgyn and good luck.

Answer 8

Infection: You should see a doctor as it sounds like you have an infection and should be treated before you spread it. Get checked.

Answer 9

Get checked: Get checked. If you're 21 year old male, this is more likely to be due to a sexually transmitted disease (gonorrhea or chlamydia) than a uti.

Answer 10

Deep sleeper: 1% of adults may do this, you may have some pelvic muscle damage after childbirth, try keegle exercises and see a female urologist.
