What Does This Urinalysis Indicate?

Posted on Mon, 9 Feb 2015

Question: My daughter is 12year old and has
Pus Cells of 1-2/HPF and
Epithelial Cells of
1-2/HPF based on an MCS report
what do these mean?
Also she still pee when she sleeps in the night on her bed, a habit she has developed over the years and we have tried to manage. what could be responsible? and how does she deals with this. We also noticed the bowing of the right leg at the age of 10years which appears to be a deformity in relation to the left leg which is normal. her weight is 92kg.
thanks

Brief Answer:
Nocturnal enuresis - urine report normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi....the urine routine analysis is normal. Nothing to worry about it. As she's still bed wetting the testwould hhave been ordered to check if there's any urinary tract infection. But it is normal.

The problem your kid is having is called nocturnal enuresis. I have a few questions for you. Get back to me with answers and I will guide you accordingly -

1. Has her bed wetting stopped at any age and reappeared or is she doing it all time since birth?

2. Does she have urgency while passing urine... That means does see she hurry to pass urine at the last moment?

3. Does she have any bending of spine or scoliosis?

4. Does she have any neurological problems?

5. Did she get any urinary tract infections in the past?

6. Is there any family history of bed wetting?

7. Have you tried any behavioral modification therapy for this bed wetting?
