urinalysis results please read and give interpretations
my urinalysis result reads hazy transparency, acidic 5.0, specific gravity 1.003, glucose negative,protein trace,WBC:TNTC, RBC:4-8,epithelial cells:few, Bacteria:few,amorphous Urates:Rare, I'm female and 17...what does this mean? thank you..
The WBC (white blood cell count) is TNTC. That is the abbreviation for "Too Numerous to Count". With that many white blood cells, I think that the most likely diagnosis is a urinary tract infection. The presence of red blood cells at that low level (4-8 cells per high power field) in a woman of menstruating age is not usually of great concern. It may be from menstruation (even if you are not actively menstruating at the time - there are often days before and after your "period" when you may not notice blood but there may be trace blood nonetheless). The blood MAY be related to the urinary tract infection in that there may well be irritation of bladder, causing some bleeding.
The haziness of the specimen is also consistent with an infection, but also with some blood in the specimen from menstruation.
The specific gravity is low, but on its own is not of concern. You may have had a lot of fluids before the test and thus the urine was not very concentrated.
Protein should be negative, and will likely return to negative once the infection is cleared up and/or menstruation ceases completely. At your age, it is very unlikely that a trace protein would mean a renal problem. If you were older, this might be something to watch.
The pH and glucose are fine. The urates don't mean anything in this context.

Hello,
There are a few RBC’s in your urine. Microscopic hematuria can be due to urinary tract (bladder) infection, swelling in the filtering system of the kidneys ,stone in bladder or in a kidney, blood disease, like sickle cell anemia, certain medicines and tumors in the urinary tract.
I suggest you to take opinion of your doctor who would do a clinical examination and advice for needful tests.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards
