CAN this be U.T.I. again?

[dylandon]

my urine have tiny white particles floating on the surface, my rbc now is 0-2 hpf and my pus cells are 0-2 hpf... last last week my pus cells were 3-6 hpf, then it went down to 0-1 due to medication of doxycycline hydrochloride for 7 days, but just now it became 0-2? and i still feel a little uncomfortable on my lower back... can u please help me... what could be happening?

Hi,

RBC and WBC levels that you have posted are acceptable.The fact that the levels decreased after antibiotic therapy means that your UTI has responded to the medications. Any crystals in the urine? Was low back pain your chief complaint prior to the urinalysis? A WBC of 0-2 is acceptable and this does not indicate a UTI.Pyuria or increased WBC in the urine requires >5 per hpf and usually may be associated with significant bacteria.

I hope this helps.

thanks for replying to my question... the urinalysis doesnt show any signs of crystals but it does bother me that it got a 1 hpf higher... and yup, i had a little bit of back pains before my last urinalysis, just a bit though, back then when it was 3-6 hpf, the back pain was a bit more.. i really appreciate ur answer, thanks.

Hello
I have the same tiny white particles in my urine.I have RBC in my urine and increased level of proteins ,so I was given medication (MacroBid).Since i started taking them I do have the same thing appears in my urine.I do believe they are cause from the medication.Since I'm not a doctor I would appreciate if someone corrects me regarding my post.
