What Does Occ Mean In Urinalysis?
i took a urine test in the er (not for unrinary issues) and color, clarity, glucose, ketones, and a bunch more. the last 2 tests were: urinalysis, squamous epithelial says OCC next to it, and urinalysis, mucous says OCC also today i get a letter from the er stating that the urine culture done in er was not obtained in an acceptable manner-the culture was not complete. does the OCC mean cancer? i am very worried, and this is a surprise. i don' know what OCC means thank you eileen m 55yrs
