A member asked:

Can you have a uti which may now be a kidney infection.... with urine with wbc of >40 and no blood in urine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: If there is wbc in urine, it usually means bladder infection, which in turn could spread to kidneys and cause a serious disease. Consult with your doctor for proper treatment.
