What does a high epithelial cell count in a urine test mean?

Increased epithelial cell count in urine examination indicates that there may be chronic urinary tract infection or bladder mucosal lesions, and tumors of the urinary system may also cause such problems, so further tests, including urinary routine, urine culture, cystoscopy, ultrasound or CT examination of the urinary system, are needed to clarify the diagnosis. If it is a chronic urinary tract infection, choose antibiotics like furantoin tablets or sulfadiazine tablets for 2-4 weeks, and the epithelial cells will slowly disappear after the inflammatory infection is controlled. If it is clear from the examination that it is caused by mucosal lesions in the bladder, the epithelial cells in the urine will slowly disappear after the removal of the diseased mucosa by transurethral resection of the bladder mucosa. If it is clear through examination that there is a tumor of the urinary system, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.
