Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of urine test is as follows:
The straw color of urine is normal but cloudy appearance is abnormal.
Specific gravity, pH, negative albumin and negative sugar are also within normal limits.
Presence of 34-35 pus cells is abnormal and it suggests presence of infection in urine.
Presence of bacteria confirms presence of bacterial infection.
Presence of abundant squamous epithelial cells can accompany infection.
Presence of 5-7 red blood cells suggests bleeding in urinary tract. Causes of bleeding are stone, infection or inflammation.
The cloudy appearance is due to prsence of infection in urine.
Thus, there is presence of urinary tract infection.
The next step is to identify the causative infectious micro-organism and appropriate treatment for it.
Thus, I suggest you to get a urine culture followed by drug sensitivity.
Culture will identify the infectious agent and drug sensitivity will identify the most appropriate antibiotic effective against the bacteria.
Thanks and take care

Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern.
The urinalysis report you have indicates urinary tract infection. Presence of pus cells, bacteria in clumps, rbc, squamous cells, in urine is a definite indication of some type of infection.
Clamping means the massing together of bacteria or other cells suspended in a fluid, the aggregation of bacteria into irregular masses.
Regarding urine color, transparency, pH, specific gravity, albumin and sugar parameters, they are all normal.
The presence of urates indicates the presence of bacteria which can reduce nitrate.
High squamous cells number indicates contamination of urine with skin flora, which may mean that the sample is not as pure as it needs to be.
The amorphous urates are very common in the urine samples and you do not need to fear of this presence in your urine report.
I would recommend you to start an antibiotic regime in order to treat the urinary tract infection.
Hope I helped with my answer. For further concerns or follow up questions feel free to ask again.
Take care,
Dr. Ina
