Urine Epithelial Cells

Why test for Urine Epithelial Cells

Results are often reported as an approximate amount, such as "few," (upto 10) "moderate, (10 to 20) " or "many (more than 20) " cells. "Few" cells are generally considered in the normal range. "Moderate" or "many" cells may indicate a medical condition such as:

• Urinary tract infection
• Yeast infection
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Certain types of cancer

If your results are not in the normal range, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have a medical condition that requires treatment. You may need more tests before you can get a diagnosis. To learn what your results mean, talk to your health care provider.
