Question 1

low white blood cell count and blood in the urine?

Accepted Answer

Lab data: Without a full medical history and physical exam cannot possibly theorize about what this may be.  It certainly indicates a need for further investigation and should not be ignored. Good luck.

Question 2

my white blood cell count was 6.25... is this normal or low? is it okay to take prednisone for poison ivy with this wbc count?

Accepted Answer

You're fine: Normal WBC. I trust lymphocyte and neutrophil counts were fine also. Take the prenisone for the poison ivy only if it's so bad you can't sleep otherwise. We're glad to help.

Question 3

urine test showed white blood cells in urine but no infection. blood test showed low white blood cell count. any correlation?

Accepted Answer

No: There should be no relationship between urine wbc's and your low serum WBC count, good luck.

Question 4

last two days fever but not know check blood test test result is white blood cell count high neutrophils high and lymphocytes low and urine albu pos?

Accepted Answer

Seems OK.: As long as you feel fine or are getting better these lab tests don't indicate much. Depending upon where you grew up and live in India these symptoms could represent serious disease, but the labs don't show anything specific. The way you feel should guide whether you need further testing.

Question 5

what exactly does high white blood cell count in urine mean?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Most likely, bacterial inflammation (cystitis).

Question 6

can taking 1antibiotic &1 cipro (ciprofloxacin) reduce white blood cell count in urine? went to doc for uti after taking those &said there weren't many wh blood cells

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: It seemed you took 2 antibiotics since Cipro (ciprofloxacin) itself is an antibiotic. Finding WBC in urine suggests the presence of inflammation caused by bacteria, virus, stone, tumors, foreign body, after recent procedures, catheter, contamination at urine collection, etc., not necessarily by bacterial infection alone. Antibiotic is good only for the bacteria sensitive to it, not for anything else. So, don't...

Question 7

recurring utis, lower left back pain under rib cage, high white blood cell count in urine, nausea, weakness. causes?

Accepted Answer

Pyelonephritis: It sounds like you have pyelonephritis/ renal infection.  You could have infected kidney stones or an obstructing ureteral stone.  You could have vessico-ureteral reflux or a large  post void bladder residual.  I would recommend that you see a urologist and get a renal/bladder ultrasound and voiding cysto-urethrogram.  Good luck.

Question 8

what does it mean when you have a high white blood cell count in your urine?

Accepted Answer

WBCs in urine: WBC's in the urine are commonly associated with infection or inflammation of the urinary tract.  Urine infection (UTI), kidney infection (pyelonephritis), and kindey stones are common causes.  Inflammation of the bladder wall (cystitis) is also common.  Less common causes are things like nephrotic syndromes and allergic interstitial nephritis.

Question 9

i have slightly high white blood cell count and very high levels of protiens in my urine. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Slightly high: Wbc count is usually insignificant, but the elevated urine protein needs to be evaluated soon for any indicators of renal insufficiency and treated.  Contact the individual ordering the lab tests, .

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Elevated White Cells: Elevation of the white blood cell count usually represents a bacterial infection.
