Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your husband's urine analysis is absolutely normal.
Up to 5 pus cells are normal /HPF.
However he need clinical correlation.
Epithelial cells are basically normal cells that represent contamination of the urine specimen with skin cells.It is very common and is not concerning.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
