Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Your son's urine analysis is absolutely normal.
Epithelial cells are basically normal cells that represent contamination of the urine specimen with skin cells.It is very common and is not concerning.
It is important to know about the reason for investigation.
However your baby need clinical correlation.

Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
