Question 1

Negative leukocytes, erythrocytes and nitrites in urine but positive pseudomonas aeruginosa 10.000.000 in urine culture, is that possible? same urine sample. previous urine test was also negative.

Accepted Answer

Bacteria in urine without symptoms (and often without other UTI abnormalities) is called asymptomatic bacteriuria. It's quite common in older women, often not treated. At your age (32), most experts recommend treating. Also, pseudomonas is somewhat unusual. Do you have any underlying urinary tract problems? Recent hospitalization w/ catheter? Discuss w/ doctor and maybe infectious disease expert.

Question 2

I had symptoms of a uti last week and no longer have any, but my at home uti test still shows some leukocytes and no nitrites in my urine. why?

Accepted Answer

If you did a squat pee into a collection tray or just tested it as it flows, part of your sample may include a vaginal washout. There are often such findings with this method . If you washed the area around the labia & spread them to collect the sample, it is less likely to have such contaminants.

Question 3

How do i get a high white blood count in my urine but test negative for nitrites and leukocyte esterase?

Accepted Answer

Nitrites indicate bacterial abundance.  If negative, then very low grade infection or no infection exists.  Leuk esterase indicates leukocyte enzyme release, reflecting battling leukocytes.  If neg, then no leuk attack present, or very low grade.  So --- leukocytes without infection do appear in urine from interstitial nephritis , usually allergic, or from interstitial cystitis, usually of unknown

Question 5

Urine tests showing increased wbc/leukocytes without nitrites indicate?

Accepted Answer

If the diet is lacking in nitrates, lack of nitrite in urine is meaningless. There may be infection with organisms that do not make nitrite, or the infection may be in the urethra. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is in the best position to do that.
