Is there anything besides uti's that cause a high leukocyte count in urine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pyuria: Pyuria or high WBC in the urine can occur from a variety of conditions, some are related to stones or crystals, some from inflammation of the bladder wal and some from urinary tract infections. A urologist can help you.
