What does it mean if i tested postive for both nitrite and leukocyte esterase an also have white cell clumps present i have a hyper thryoid and also cancer runs very high on my mom's side concerned that i may be at risk

Urinary infection: White cells in urine is usually related to infection of the urine or kidney. Not related to hyperthyroidism. Hard to give advice of cancer risk without more family history information.
