Physiological Reference Ranges

The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.

Adults (general)

0 – 10 /µL

Adult females

0 – 10 /µL

Adult males

0 – 10 /µL

Common alternative units:
/mm3(×1 /µL)
/champ(×0.2 /µL)

What does a low result mean?

A count below 10 /µL is the standard finding indicating an entirely quiescent urinary tract.

What does a high result mean?

A mild elevation frequently stems from minor mechanical irritation, recent intimacy, or incidental external skin flora.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Did the urine culture (UCBU) grow bacteria, or is this sterile irritation?
  • Would a repeat clean-catch sample help rule out skin contamination?
  • Is any therapy indicated if I have zero burning or urinary discomfort?
