A member asked:

Test show that my wife has debris in her bladder and her white blood cell count is high. how serious of a concern is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not Serious: Debris in the bladder and high white blood cell count, presumably in the urine test, is consistent with a bladder infection. She should have a urine culture and be considered for treatment
