INTERPRETING FBS TEST AND URINALYSIS TEST RESULTS - Can somebody help me?
Can somebody help me give interpretation for the following results? Patient: Male, 16 yrs. old BLOOD CHEMISTRY Test: FBS Result: 4.59 MMOL/L Normal Value: 3.10-6.40 MMOL/L MICROSCOPY Test: Urinalysis Results: Physical Characteristics Color: Yellow Transparency: Hazy Reaction: Acidic pH: 5.00 Specific Gravity: 1.03 Chemical Test Albumin: [-] Sugar: [-] Microscopic Findings Cells RBC: 0-1/HPF PUS Cell: 0-2/HPF Squamous Cell: Rare Bacteria: Few Mucus Threads: 2+ I am tasked to give interpretation for each specific finding clearly and completely. Thank you. Can somebody help me give interpretation for the following results?

- Hey, Jr. Doc - You don't ask for much, do you? Well, let's see what we can do, eh? So our kid's fasting... OK. Color is WNL (within normal limits); Transparency - Hazy is one step above "Turbid"; there is probably particulate sediment present, which, in small amounts, is not unusual. pH = 5 - definitely acidic. Specific Gravity (SG) = 1.03 - very, very dilute specimen and guaranteed not his first morning specimen, also may indicate he's not dehydrated. Albumin and sugar = negative - glomeruli are doing their job, not allowing larger molecules out of vascular circulation. Micro: RBC - 0-1/HPF is WNL; PUS (I'm assuming this is WBC's) - 0-2/HPF - again WNL; Squamous cell: Rare - WNL; Bacteria - Few (is our guy circumcised or not?) very possibly present due to a urine catch method other than a mid-stream clean-catch, and present at the urethral meatus from migration from the glans' surface; Mucus Threads - present in early pyelonephritis, as well as other pathologic and few non-pathologic conditions; most likely from "flushing" glomeruli. Although the majority of these answers is correct, I doubt that they're 100%; but it may give you enough guidance to get through the mundane and hit the high points. Good luck.
- all the parameters except the presence of bacteria are normal.the bacteria may be contaminants from the skin etc. but a repeat mid - stream urine examination with aseptic precautions will clarify the situation and a urine culture and sensitivity test will also be helpful.
