A member asked:
I didn't do a urine culture sample and it was negative does that test detect if there's a wbc in your urine or urethra?

Sort of: A urine culture does not detect WBC in the urine. But the culture is usually sent with a urinalysis which does.

Time to move on: Sigh. You're grasping for straws. This test itself doesn't detect WBC. But you've already had that test anyway. Please stop asking further on line. You'll never get more clear ansswers than you have had. Work with your own doctor. Best wishes.
