“What do you mean by pus cells present in the urine report?”
My urine report says there are pus cells present in my urine. What does this mean? Does it indicate an infection? My appointment to discuss my results is later in this week.

Typically a urinalysis would not say “pus.” White blood cells or leukocytes are what is usually reported in a urinalysis, and while this can be due to a bacterial infection, it could also be simply from inflammation from anywhere in your urinary tract (kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra, prostate in men).
History is important. Pus cells may indicate infection. Further evaluation with C/S may be needed.
