Is a 1-2 pus cell in urine abnormal?

What do you mean by pus cell?

Pus cells are white blood cells that have escaped from the site of an infection. Pus cells are a sign of an infection, and they can be found in urine.

The normal urine sediment consists of epithelial cells, red blood cells (RBCs), bacteria and occasionally other foreign bodies such as crystals or casts. If pus cells are seen in urine, this indicates that there is an underlying infection somewhere in the body.

How are tests done to find the number of pus cells in urine?

The first step in testing for the presence of pus cells in urine is a simple urinalysis. To perform this test, your doctor will collect some of your urine in a sample cup and send it to the lab for analysis. The technician who analyzes your urine sample may use one of several methods to examine it:

• A urinalysis (also called a dipstick test) involves using strips that contain chemicals that change color when they come into contact with certain substances present in urine. These changes indicate whether there are abnormal levels of certain substances, including white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), glucose or protein. You'll be asked to give an appropriate sample when you arrive at the lab so that these results can be obtained quickly and easily without having to spend too much time waiting around for them.
• Another method used by some laboratories is known as microscopic examination (or microscopy). This method requires technicians who have been trained specifically on how best to view cellular components under magnification like an electron microscope or light microscope so they can identify cells clearly enough for accurate diagnosis purposes

What are the normal levels of pus cells in urine?

The normal number of pus cells in urine is <10 pus cells per high power field. If you have a low number of pus cells in urine, it may be normal for you. However, if your number is higher than that and you have any symptoms such as pain or swelling around your kidneys, see your doctor.

If the number of pus cells are very high (at least 10% of all white blood cells), then this condition could be serious.

What is leukocyturia?

Leukocyturia is the presence of white blood cells in urine, which are normally filtered out by the kidneys. Leukocyturia is not an uncommon condition, but it does require further investigation to determine if there is an underlying infection that requires treatment.

The number of white blood cells can be high in urine without any infection occurring. This may occur due to certain types of medications (such as those used for chemotherapy) or other conditions including:

• A urinary tract infection (UTI)
• UTI-related kidney stones

When should a doctor be consulted for presence of pus cells in urine?

If the number of pus cells is greater than 5-10 per high-power field, see a doctor right away.

If the number of pus cells is greater than 100 per high-power field, see a doctor right away.

If the number of pus cells is greater than 1000 per high-power field, see a doctor right away.

Does an abnormally high number of pus cells mean that an infection is present in the body?

No. Pus cells are normal in urine, and they are not a sign of infection or disease. If you have an abnormally high number of pus cells on your dipstick, it’s important to look at other factors as well. For example, if you have other symptoms like burning or pain when urinating or blood in urine, this could be an indication that there is an infection present in the urinary tract. In some cases, doctors may prescribe antibiotics when they find pus cells on a urine dipstick test.

If your doctor believes that you have an infection present in your urinary tract, he will likely recommend having cultures done on all samples of bodily fluids to determine which type of bacteria is causing the problem and what antibiotic will work best against it

Are there any ways to lower the number of pus cells without taking antibiotics?

There are a few ways to lower the number of pus cells without taking antibiotics.

• Avoid infections by practicing good hygiene and cleaning wounds regularly.
• Avoid antiseptic solutions, which can irritate your bladder and cause infection.
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your urine dilute and easy on your kidneys.
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it causes dehydration and exacerbates any infection you may have or be prone to developing due to other factors (e.g., an underactive immune system). Also avoid caffeine and tobacco products that can irritate your bladder or cause inflammation. And finally, eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins (such as chicken) that will help keep your body strong enough to fight off germs naturally rather than relying on medication for assistance all the time!

Pus cell results depend on the method of testing, time after treatment and recovery

Pus cells in urine can be a sign of infection, especially if they are prominent.

The presence of pus cells in urine is often an indication that you have a urinary tract infection (UTI). Pus cells are white blood cells that fight off infections and are released into the urine when fighting an infection. If there are many pus cells in your urine, it’s likely that you have some type of UTI such as urethritis or cystitis (bladder infection), which can cause pain and burning when urinating. This type of infection requires treatment with antibiotics to clear up quickly before it spreads to the kidneys and causes more serious complications like kidney damage or kidney failure due to chronic inflammation from repeated infections over time.

Conclusion

Pus cells are a type of white blood cell and the presence of them in urine is known as leukocyturia. There are many reasons for this to happen, including infections or inflammation in the bladder. However, it should not be taken lightly and you should consult your doctor if tests show any abnormal results.
