Urinalysis....please need help?

I work for 6 urologists. This is a relatively normal urinalysis. You may have a very, very slight infection but the presence of moderate epithelial cells (that come from the outside of the - skin cells) likely means this was a contaminated specimen so there would be a few bacteria. The amount of WBC is within normal lab limits and does not mean you have an infection. Your pH is very high and you should be drinking at least 100 ounces of fluids per day (preferably water but anything would do). There is no disease (this is not the test for a urinary "disease" anyway. If you are having symptoms of a urinary tract infection, the symptoms might be cleared but increasing the amount of fluids you drink per day. Also, you may be treated with antibiotics if the doctor feels it is warranted but not if you are not having symptoms.
