Question 1

all urine results, neg, but leukocyte esterase shows moderate. what does this mean? last time it was small/clear. this time moderate/slightly-cloudy.

Accepted Answer

Urinalysis: Cloudy urine and urine containing white blood cells(leukocytes) don't necessarily signify a urinary tract infection. The white cells may be contaminants from a vaginal infection or discharge. A clean catch urine culture would rule in or out a urinary tract infection. If you have a vaginal discharge, see your gynecologist and he/she can order any appropriate urinary tests if no vaginal infection

Question 3

Accepted Answer

UTI?: You may have a urinary tract infection. Stop self testing and contact your doctor's office for a professional urinalysis and perhaps urine culture.

Question 4

Question 5

urine test today:
leukocyte estarine- trace 
blood urine- moderate 
wbc-0-2
rbc-6-10
bacteria-few
ph-5.5
urobilinogen-0.2
what does this mean had hysterectomy 4 weeks ago. is this kidney or bladder cancer? glucose bilirubin ketone nitrate all negativ

Accepted Answer

Why was test done?: The answer depends on why was the test done, blood on a urine test can have multiple causes, cancer of the bladder or kidney is unlikely. You may have had some mild vaginal bleeding from the hysterectomy. When you gave a urine sample, you did not clean the area well and/or collected the urine too early. Please follow with the doctor who ordered the test.

Question 6

what does it mean if your leukocyte value is 1+?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: Assuming this is a urinalysis, it means you have a few white blood cells, which could signify infection or inflammation anywhere in the urinary tract.  An actual count of the cells is more helpful, that's in another part of the test.  If there are more than say 10, the risk of infection is higher.

Question 7

what does large leukocyte esterase mean?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Leukocyte esterase released by lysed neutrophils and macrophages is a surrogate marker of the presence of white blood cells (WBCs). Leukocyte esterase suggests that there are white blood cells in the urine. Based on symptoms and other urine analysis findings this may suggest a urinary tract infection

Question 8

for leukocyte esterase what does a large result mean?

Usually an infection: Leukocyte esterase released by lysed neutrophils and macrophages is a surrogate marker of the presence of white blood cells (WBCs). Leukocyte esterase suggests that there are white blood cells in the urine. Large leucocyte esterase means plenty of WBC. Based on symptoms and other urine analysis findings this may suggest a urinary tract infection

Question 9

i check my urine and the leukocyte was 500 what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Pyuria: Pus in the urine . May represent a uti

Question 10

what could it mean if my lymphocyte/100 leukocyte is 53% (according to the results the avg is 18-42?

Accepted Answer

May be nothing: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, lymphocyte count of 53% by itself is not a disease. Why was the test done?
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. 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.
