Question 1

what is the normal level of wbc in urine?

Accepted Answer

None: Entirely normal urine should not have any WBC. In a sediment of urine, there should be fewer than 5 WBC per high power field.

Question 2

is wbc level of 10-20 in urine test a cause of concern?

Accepted Answer

Need follow-up: An isolated reading of 10-20 WBC may not be worrisome, but it warrants repeating the test in 3-4 months. Be careful to collect the sample properly. You may consult this site for proper urine collection:

For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 3

is a urine rbc level of: 50 x10^6l normal. and a urine wbc level of 
60 x10^6l .

Accepted Answer

No: The urinalysis microscopic test shows an elevation of red blood cells and white blood cells which may represent an infection and or ureteral/and or kidney stone and or kidney pathology, you should go over the test results with your doctor or primary care provider,
I hope this helps

Question 4

how can ua wbc be contaminated. all my other levels for urine where negative. but the range of my ua wbc was 5-10 & its supposed to be 0-5.

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Urine contamination with vaginal discharge is common if not collected carefully as instructed, especially in the sexually active with overweight leading to somewhat difficult to separate the lips of vagina for cleansing to collect desired mid-stream urine specimen. That is why it is common to have contamination in the setting as described above.

Question 5

my urine has an extremely high level of wbcs and blood in it. urine cultures show no bacteria in urine. what can cause wbcs, blood, but no bacteria?

Accepted Answer

Full evaluation: You need to have a full urologic evaluation. This should include upper tract imaging such as ultrasound or ct scan as well as cystoscopy and vaginal exam.

Question 6

had urine culture three weeks ago showed no growth had another one last week it showed yeast infection   why do both show high levels of wbc ?

Accepted Answer

Leukocytes in urine: WBCs are present in response to almost any form of inflammation. It sounds as if you have a UTI if the urine was collected by a clean midstream catch. If not, the yeast may have present in the urine through contamination from the vaginal secretions and if you have Candida vulvovaginitis that is probably the explanation. Hope this helps.

Question 7

had blood and urinalysis 7/15. blood work was all normal but urine showed creatinine level of 409, trace protein, trace leukocyte esterase, wbc, hyali?

Accepted Answer

Mild UTI: It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection.  Do you still have symptoms?  If you are worried, have the urinalysis repeated to see if it is now normal, which I expect it will be.

Question 8

creatinine level 2.56 to 1.59 after completing amoxicillin against md advice (no bacteria in urine but wbc and rbc).  any possible explanation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You are in kidney failure. That is why your serum creatinine is so elevated. You do not have any bacteria in your urine and that is why your doc said don't bother taking an antibiotic against a nonexistent infection. On the other hand, your kidneys have begun to fail. If you haven't been introduced to a good nephrologist yet get a good intro soon. You will be spending time with him soon.

Question 9

i took a urinalysis.  the protein level was 30.  the wbc 11-30, the red bc 3-10.  the urine culture showed no growth? burning urine & flank pain

Accepted Answer

Your doctor can help: The doctor who ordered your Urinalysis needs to discuss the results of your test which appear abnormal to me. I suspect you have urinary tract infection(UTI) or Cystitis which will require a short course of antibiotics before your symptoms will resolve. seek medical attention right away.

Question 10

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, .
