A member asked:
What to do if i have high bacteria count in urinalysis. do i have uti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: A high bacteria count either means you have a UTI or the urine was contaminated from your skin before it entered the specimen container. There are other findings in a urinalysis that help clarify this. Epithelial cells (skin cells) are evidence of contamination. White cells and Leukocyte Esterease are indications of an infection.
