Pus Cells in Urine: Causes and Diagnosis

Pus cells in urine can occur when there is inflammation or infection in the urinary tract. While urinary tract infections are a common cause, conditions such as kidney infections and kidney stones may also be associated with increased pus cells. A urine routine examination can detect pus cells and other abnormalities. Depending on the findings and symptoms, a doctor may recommend further tests to identify the underlying cause.
