A member asked:
I have had a urinalysis done . it is showing high nitrates with no infection . ?

No significance: Nitrites have no useful meaning, so they are typically ignored as harmless. I would not worry about it. The only signs of urinary infection are white cells and bacteria, if confirmed on a Urine culture.
