What exactly is transitional epithelium and why is it elevated? Isn't the normal range supposed to be 0-1?

Dr. George, would you mind taking a look at this for me please...?

They told me the white blood cell count could just pass and that it's actually pretty normal... The real issue is why my transitional epithelium levels are so high...
Is this something dangerous? Should I be losing sleep over this? Thanks!

It looks like they might have messed up the sample collection or something, but honestly, who cares about the transitional epithelium at this point? I'm just wondering why the levels are so high... could it be some kind of inflammation or what?? Everything had been totally fine until now...

I'm looking for my full checkup results... I just can't seem to track down that very first post... if anyone out there knows where it went, please, could you help a person out?!!

Can someone help me make sense of these urinalysis results?
