A member asked:
Positive leukocyte esterase in urine. does that mean uti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally: yes it does. BUT... while it certainly means some wbc's in urine, this may or may not be worth treating. Certainly if there are symptoms or a lot of wbc or a change in kidney function. But if it is entirely asymptomatic.. then.. not so sure.
