A member asked:
Uti leukocytes shows positive, nitrite shows negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is the question: These are lab tests, the results of which cannot be interpreted outside the context of your clinical condition. You can have leukocytes in your urine without having a bacterial infection with an organism that converts nitrates to nitrites.
