A member asked:

Can methotrexate make your white blood count high in your urine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: The white blood cells could be from a urinary tract infection and Methotrexate does increase your risk of infections. The other possibility is that you could have a kidney disease such as glomeronephritis. Talk to your doctor about your test results.
