Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

If the white cell count in the urine by microscopic exam is 70/hpf, pyuria is present. Although you've no UTI sx but the presence of back pain & GI symptoms, kidney infection (pyelonephritis) should be ruled out so urine culture needs to be done. Low B12 and D are not related to the urine finding. If urine culture is (-) interstitial nephritis or cystitis needs to be ruled out if pyuria persists.
