Infection: He's looking for any evidence of infection- whether in your urine or in your blood. This way, he will be able to tailor a treatment to your specifications. This may be seen as white blood cells in your urine, bacteria grown out of your urine, leukocyte esterase or nitrites in your urine, or an elevated white blood count in your blood.
