Mucus in Urine

Explanation

Mucus is a slippery substance made by body linings. A mucus-in-urine result means it was seen when a urine sample was examined under a microscope.

What does the finding mean?

Mucus is a slippery substance made by body linings. It can be seen when a urine sample is examined under a microscope. A small amount can be normal. A larger amount may lead to further assessment, but the finding by itself does not show why it is present.

Why does the rest of the urine test matter?

The way the sample was collected and the other urine findings help give the result context. More testing may be needed to look for a cause. Mucus alone cannot diagnose an infection, cancer, or another specific condition.
