What does it mean when the leukocyte count is 0—1/HP in a microscope test?

Patient's question:

Female, 45, all urine tests were "_", microscopic examination showed white blood cells 0—1/HP. White blood cells were "—", I don't know if there is inflammation with white blood cells 0—1/HP?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your condition, the check results for white blood cells show 0-1 per high-power field (HP). This should be from a routine urinalysis, which primarily serves to check for urinary system diseases. It's not severe. Although there were white blood cells previously, the microscopic examination shows 0-1 per HP, which does not rule out the possibility of contamination in the urine sample. Additionally, there are no symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, or pain, so the likelihood of a urinary tract infection is low. No treatment is needed for now; simply drink more water and urinate frequently. If symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, or pain appear, it may indicate a urinary tract infection, and you can take Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin for antibiotics.
