Brief Answer:
Suggestive of a urinary tract infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This test is suggestive of a urinary tract infection. If you have no symptoms such as frequent urination in small quantities, painful urination, I will suggest that you follow up with a culture for confirmation. If you do have these symptoms, I recommend antibiotics for treatment. My preferred antibiotic for urinary tract infection is ciprofloxacin/Bactrim.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
