Question 1

they have found blood and white blood cells in my urine but nothing will grow in the lab could it be bladder cancer urineating  is very painful and very frequient. have already taken  7 rounds of antibotics

Accepted Answer

Bladder : Bladder cancer is not very high on my list of possible diagnoses. Has your doctor ruled out kidney stones? Cystitis(bladder inflammation). If you are female do you have any vaginal discharge? If you are a male have you had your prostate examined?.
Also your doctor should consider a ct urogram and cystogram to get a good visualization or your bladder and urinary tract. Also, antibiotics are probably not a good idea fo now.
Lastly please request a diabetes screen.
Good luck.

Question 2

can you see white blood cells in urine?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: As single cells, the naked eye would not be able to see individual white blood cells. So if there is just a small amount you could not rely on just looking at urine and know with certainty. However, in large groups as pus, white blood cells and other materials can be seen in this way. So large amounts would be more obvious, just like looking at pus around a wound.

Question 3

Leukocytes = WBCs: White blood cells in the urine indicate that an inflammatory or immune system reaction is taking place. Without more information, in terms of other urine or laboratory markers, symptoms, etc. That is about all one can say with regard to this.

Question 4

what are reasons for white blood cells in urine?

Accepted Answer

Infection: White cells (leucocytes) are the bodies way to fight infection.  White cells in the urine are due to infection somewhere in the urinary tract.  The infection could be in the urethra, bladder or kidney.  In males the sexual delivery system could also be infected.  Hopefully the specimen containing the white cells was collected properly and if so it could be analyzed for bacterial growth.

Usualy infection is the frequest cause, but other causes of inflammation like stones, dehydration may cause white cells to show in urine. Get your urine retested after hydration fo further treatmetn options.

Question 8

high levels of white blood cells in urine. what could that mean?

Accepted Answer

Pyuria: White blood cells in urine usually are there because of an infection in the urinary tract.  However, they can also be there in large numbers in a female when there is a vaginal infection or when she is having her period (always see red cells also in this situation).  My best advice is to see your doctor and have a urine culture done to see what is going on.

Question 9

does white blood cells in urine mean herpes ?

Accepted Answer

Leukocytes = WBCs: White blood cells in the urine indicate that an inflammatory or immune system reaction is taking place. Without more information, in terms of other urine or laboratory markers, symptoms, etc. That is about all one can say with regard to this. The presence of wbcs would definitely not be specific for determining if one had herpes virus.
