Get Leukoctes

Can you have leukocytes in urine but no UTI? It is possible to have leukocytes in urine if you have sterile pyuria, which occurs with certain autoimmune conditions and bladder cancer. Some medications can cause high levels of leukocytes in the urine, such as NSAIDs, steroids, PPIs, and some antibiotics.

If your doctor tests your urine and finds too many leukocytes, it could be a sign of infection. Leukocytes are white blood cells that help your body fight germs. When you have more of these than usual in your urine, it's often a sign of a problem somewhere in your urinary tract.

Leukocytosis is a normal immune response and isn't always a cause for concern. Most of the time, it means that your body is fighting off infection or inflammation. However, there are times when a high white blood cell count could indicate something more serious, such as leukemia.

A positive test result for leukocytes in urine indicates a possible infection or inflammation in the body (particularly in the urinary tract). A combination of positive results for both Leukocytes and Nitrite in urine is a good indicator of urinary tract infections (UTI).

High levels of leukocytes or white blood cells in your urine may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney stones, a pelvic tumor, or another condition. Treatment can depend on the cause.

The presence of an elevated number of leukocytes (white blood cells) is called 'leukocyturia'. The presence of a certain, low number of leukocytes (up to 5 per high-resolution field, at a field of 400x magnification) in urine may be normal. Even a slight increase in their number should not alarm us.
