Hi Cielo,
Every lab has different values, especially from country to country. I note some words that are not commonly used in the labs that I am familiar with. So without knowing the ranges of normal of the lab that preformed the UA it's difficult to know exactly what your results mean.
A urine test checks different components of urine which is a waste product made by the kidneys. I think "slightly turbid" means it's slightly cloudy with possible some sediments.
When the urine is refrigerated, amorphous urates might develop in the sample. I think that's what "amorphous: many" means. It's perfectly ok.
Specific gravity looks spot on.
The pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline (basic) the urine is. A urine pH of 4 is strongly acidic, 7 is neutral (neither acidic nor alkaline). The goal is to have a pH level around 6.4, again. There is no danger with a 6.0.
Albumin and sugar (glucose) should be negative - and they are in your UA.
RBCs (Red Blood Cells). A few are considered normal, you have 2-3.
Pus Cells. I think your lab uses pus cells instead of WBCs (White Blood Cells) or another medical term for them is leukocytes. Large numbers of WBCs - or Pus Cells indicate infection. You have a few and I'm not certain if these numbers will be of concern to your medical provider or not. It's certainly not alarming.
A few Epithelial Cells are normal and you have: few.
As always your medical provider will look at your Clinical SX (symptoms) and the UA to determine if you have a UTI (Urinary Track Infection). If you have one it's my opinion it's not a bad one - but numbers may be low enough that it won't be treated. Cranberry Juice and plenty of fluids - preferably water may be more beneficial at this point than ATBs (Antibiotics).
Again it's your Docs call. Good luck and please let us know what your medical provider has to say . I'll look forward to your updates.
Peace,
