What Does Elevated PSA Levels In Urology Test Result Indicate?
Question: what does a positive epc mean in a urology test
Brief Answer:
Do you mean PSA test?
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
I have gone through your question.
I want to ask if you are sure about the name if the test?
Did you mean PSA test?(this is a very important test in urology)
PSA stands for prostatic specific antigen. Prostate specific antigen is a substance released from the prostate tissue and can be measured by a simple blood test. Elevated levels of the antigen in the blood can indicate prostate cancer, but also can indicate inflammation of the prostate.
There is not a test called epc test in urology,to my knowledge.
Hope this is helpful.
Wish you all the best.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
This is a normal urinalisis result,
EPC is EPITHELIAL CELLS and 1 - 5 SQUAMOUS is a normal URINE MICROSCOPIC result.
In healthy individuals, epithelial cells from the bladder and external urethra are normally present in the urine in small amounts.
The presence of squamous epithelial cells may indicate contamination of the urine specimen and an increased number of epithelial cells are present in urinary tract conditions such as infections, inflammatioin.But this is not your case.
So,don't worry.Your urinalysis result is normal.
