Question 1

What does leukocyte esterase ua large means?

Accepted Answer

It suggests but does not confirm the presence of a urinary infection.  A culture should be done to confirm and identify a causative bacteria if present.

Question 2

What does large leukocyte esterase, ua mean?

Accepted Answer

Leukocyte esterase in urine is a marker of infection in the urinary system.

Question 3

I am 11 weeks pregnant and today my results came back: leukocyte esterase ua large: what does this  mean?

Accepted Answer

Leucocyte esterase comes from white blood cells - infection fighters.  Having these cells in your urine usually means infection.  However, there can be other causes and so i would recommend that you talk with your doctor about getting a urine culture done if she/he thinks this means infection.

Question 4

Urobilinogen ua-> 2, blood- small, leukocyte esterase- small, rbc-3, wbc-3. abdominal distented/swollen 5wks. do these results raise concerns?

Accepted Answer

Your swollen abdomen does. I am uncertain if that swelling is due to your urinary tract. You may need it in an evaluation, imaging such as an abdominal CT to help clarify the swelling in the blood. And possible liver issues

Question 5

Leukocyte esterase, ua my results were large. it also said "does not show any significant bacterial infection".  am i ok?  or do i need a 2nd opinion?

Accepted Answer

Pos. Leukocyte esterase means there are some white blood cells in your urine.  I haven't found this test very helpful as i see positive results in patients that only have a few wbc's in the urine and have no uti.  If you have symptoms of a UTI ie, burning, frequency, urgency get a urinalysis with microscopic and a urine culture.  Be sure the urine is a clean catch specimen(no vag.Contamination).

Question 6

Ua results: leukocyte esterase moderate, epitheleal cells 9, rbc 13, wbc 30, bacteria 4. having pretty severe right back/flank pain.

Accepted Answer

Your urinalysis is diagnostic for a urinary tract infection, and with flank pain, it probably involves the kidney (medical term pyelonephritis). It's fairly serious; you need antibiotic treatment right away, maybe even hospitalization for IV antibiotics. Contact your doctor immediately (it's Sunday, but probably someone is on call); or go to a hospital emergency room. Do not delay. Good luck!

Accepted Answer

Bacteria causing your UTI were not sensitive to Keflex. Find out urine culture result? Report indicates appropriate antibiotics. You need different antibiotic to treat your UTI. Try to have urine culture with sensitivities before changing antibiotic, if possible. As rule of thumb, always best to have urine culture done if urinalysis positive for UTI as it indicates antibiotic to use or ?change to

Question 8

Does an urinalysis report of: leukocyte esterase 1+, urine wbc 6-10 and squamous epithelial cells 0-5  mean an infection?

Accepted Answer

Voided (vs. catheterized) urine specimens in women are potentially subject to contamination. Urine culture is the definitive method of determining the presence of infection. Another important point is that in older women in the absence of symptoms, this kind of urine abnormality alone or even a positive culture should not be treated with antibiotics (asymptomatic bacteriuria).

Question 9

What can elevated wbc (6-10) in ua mean in dmt1 patient if no bacteria, esterase, nitrates, pain uti symptoms, etc.? could it be elevated still from a uti in mid-december? no hema/proteinuria either

Accepted Answer

Depending upon the manner in which the urine was collected this is probably vaginal contamination.  If you have no symptoms and there is no further evidence of infection in the urine as you have indicated, it is highly unlikely that this means anything significant.

Question 10

Urinalysis results show trace leukocyte esterase?

Accepted Answer

Significant. Do you have symptoms of urinary infection? Trace levels are difficult to interpret in isolation. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that.
