Hello I have been diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome and interstitial cystitis. I have chronic UTI's with constant pain. My latest urine culture showed ketones, occult blood present, leukacyte esterase (3+), WBC 20-40, RBC 3-10 and few mucous threads. Can you explain what the few mucus threads means?
Your findings may indicate chronic urinary tract infection(UTI).
Small amount of mucus threads are normally found in urine and it is not concerning.Mucus threads are normally formed from mucus linings of urogenital tract. However large amount of mucus threads may be due to UTI. Few mucus threads in your case is acceptable.
You may need proper antibiotics depending upon culture and sensitivity report. You may need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,ultrasound of KUB region. You should drink lot of water. You may also need alkalizing syrup.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
