What does it mean if i have leukocytes in my urine?

Urine results: Leukocytes/white blood cells indicate that inflammatory/infectious process is occurring, especially if rbcs are not present to support the idea of whole blood in the urine. Ketones are breakdown products of fats/fatty acids & seen in fasting or starvation. Lab findings must be taken in a clinical context; we would need to know what symptoms, issues, or other info available if any to help evaluate.

Possible infection: Leukocytes help fight off infections, so when seen in the urine, it may be a sign of a possible urinary tract infection (uti).
