A member asked:
Why does leukocyte show up in my urine test at the doctors when the tests come back from the lab as normal?

Specimen collection?: Maybe a difference in collection technique, such as a better "clean catch" specimen on the one that went to the lab. Or a difference in testing methods. The result from the lab probably is more likely to be reliable. Check back with your doctor if you have symptoms that suggest urinary tract infection or otherwise uncertain.
