Hi
Your Urine tests shows slightly higher than normal red blood cells and urates (which I presume to be uric acid crystals).
Due to the presence of red blood cells, I would advice an untrasound of your urinary tract to evaluate further.
Epithelial cells are normal in the urine from shedding of cells from the lining of urinary tract especially if one tests the early morning urine sample,
Thank you
