Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If it is urinary tract infection that will be clear from culture report and if any organism isolated than treated accordingly. Kindly provide your reports for giving comment on epithelial cells.

If it is a squamous epithelial cell that can be from outer genital flora by contamination. No worry regarding that. But if it is tubular epithelial cells than by infection or any other reason tubular damage can lead its appearance in urine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
