    Hi

    Increased white blood cells in urine may indicate a bacterial urinary tract infection. This is the most common cause of a high white blood cell count in urine. Inflammation of the urinary tract or kidneys.

      I agree that this indicates a urinary tract infection or kidney infection. Are you meaning to say that the urinalysis indicates that there are white blood cells in the urine, but no bacterial infection? If so, ask your doctor to test your kidney function, it is a simple blood test. You could also ask to be referred to a urologist. Sometimes blood in the urine can be due to a condition called interstitial cystitis.

      Yeah the urinalysis indicated that there is too many white blood cells in the urine and as you said no sign of infection.

      Also i have no blood in the urine i only have a slight burning sensation when i pee...

      Also i will ask for a kidney function test if they allow me to take one!

      Don't leave it too long as if it is a kidney infection you need it sorted ASAP

      I didn't read the previous answers so sorry I doubled up
