A member asked:

Can i have a bladder or kidney infection with a negative wbc count in urine? all was normal but ph was 9.0.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alkaline urine: If there is an obstruction between the infection and the bladder, the urine may be unremarkable. A very alkaline urine with infection suggests proteus which produces urease that splits urea into ammonia that makes the urine alkaline.
