Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Pus Cells in urine indicate infection,your count of 18-20/hpf is high.,upto 5 pus cells is taken as normal.RBCs 13-15/hpf is also high Normally a few epithelial cells from the bladder or external urethra can be found in the urine sediment however in urinary tract infections/inflammation more epithelial cells are present. Your wife has urinary tract infection.Carry on with the course of antibiotics she will be cured .
Some calcuim oxalateis are not serious at all they are generally related to diet but may sometimes be related to stone.
Take care!
