Does having leukocytes 3+ large, 1+ protein, trace hemolyzed, and staphylococcus aureus in urine mean uti or kidney infection?

Q: does having leukocytes 3+ large, 1+ protein, trace hemolyzed, and staphylococcus aureus in urine mean uti or kidney infection?

: Certainly indicates kidney inflammation. Staph aureus is a very unusual cause of urine infection and really needs to be further evaluated by a physician.

These results like any in medicine have to be co-related with symptoms and exam. We do not treat lab results. Best to check with the ordering MD who will explain or act on them
