Are The Urine And Blood Test Reports Alarming? Should I Consider A Retest For Fear Of Contamination?

I just received my blood and urine test. I have not yet been to the doctor to discuss them but my appointment isn't until late next week and I have the results on line now. There doesn't seem to be as much detail/breakdown as I have seen in the past but there was concern enough about the macro test for the lab to also do a micro test. It says the following: Colour Yellow, Appearance Slightly Turbid, pH 5.0, then negative for protein, glucose, ketones, hemoglobin and nitrite, then Leukocytes Trace. The Microscopic says WBC 4-10 per HPF, RBC 1-3 and Epithelial Cells Many (but no #'s). They give what the normal range should be and these numbers seem alarming. Is it best to get another one done to be sure? When I went to the lab I had to squeeze out the bit of urine that I could which wasn't much. Maybe there was also some contamination?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these troubling findings. These results though not totally normal are not diagnostic of a UTI. I will recommend that you get these test repeated and results interpreted together. Also, do you have any symptoms like frequent urination, painful urination, etc.

I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
