A member asked:

Doc told me peeing out white blood cells could this be beneficial?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Daniel Lama answered

Not beneficial: When someone has white cells in the urine that could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. This can be confirmed by a urine cukture.

Dr Novick agreed
