for adult women this number of wbcs may or may not be clinically significant if you are not having any urinary symptoms. many of these elevated wbcs are caused by contaminates in the genital area that were not wiped off carefully before you obtained the sample. the urine test can be repeated or you can have the urine cultured for a more sensitive reading. usually wbcs over 100 per hpf (high-powered field on the microscope) is suggestive of a urinary tract infection but sometimes a lesser count would be considered significant if you were having urinary symptoms and signs (frequency urgency pain blood in urine etc. ).
urinalysis. . what does a 20-50 wbc/hpf mean? 19 years old and female. worried because it is much larger than the average standard.
