“Simple urine test?”
Hi,
I made a simple urine test as check-up before pregnancy. It was the second urine in the morning without eating or drinking. It looked clear, no epithelial cells could be seen, and no cloudy. The results showed 7-8 WBC and 9-10 RBC. İ was worried. İ repeated the test some hours later that day in another clinique. I had eaten and drank little during the day. Urine results were: 1 WBC and 1 RBC. Should I worry about the first results? Or to think that maybe the first test was contaminated, or due to a high concentration in urine.

I believe that your assumption that the first test was contaminated and due to a high concentration is most likely the answer.
To get a true results on your urinalysis, you need to either get a clean catch, which you can do with sterile wipes and a sterile container or a straight catheter which is done in the doctor=E2=80=99s office.

It would be a good idea to check it again another day and see what it is then. If you are still worried you could check with your doctor
