Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your report is absolutely normal.
Up to 5 pus cells are normal/HPF.
There is also no need to be worried about mucus threads in urine.It is a quite natural phenomenon. The urinal tract of any human being is basically filled with mucus that might appear as secretions,crystals or threads. These are basically present in the vagina,uterus of a women and urethra and penis of a man.
Other findings are within normal limit.
Hope i have answered your query.
Get well soon.
Take Care
