Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the urine analysis report of your son, my comments are as follows:
1. Normal leukocytes are 0-3/hpf and it is within normal limits
2. Leukocytes in clumps means they are all together (bundled like). The leukocyte count does not signify urinary tract infection.
3. However, if suspicious, you can ask for urine culture for confirmation.
4. All other urine reports are normal.
Everything is OK.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
