Hi,
Urine analysis (UA) is done to examine the urine. If all the tests including microscopy is done using instruments, then it is called as automated. Urine SED means urine sediment examination. Usually small quantities of RBC, WBC, epithelial cells, casts, crystals and even bacteria are present in urinary sediment examination.
Mucous is also be frequently found. If none of the above are present, nothing to worry. If the count of any of them is more than usual, further evaluation or treatment may be necessary.

All your values are within normal limits. If you do not have any renal problems, drink good quantity of water to maintain a good kidney.
If you have any further queries, happy to help again.
