White blood cells are the body’s immune cells that protect the body from infection and invasion. High white blood cells in urine tests are classified as physiological or pathological. Pathology is seen in inflammatory infections, severe tissue damage, and various types of urinary tract diseases.
Physiological leukocyte elevation can be seen in women during late pregnancy and childbirth, after strenuous exercise, after a full meal, after a shower, when it is hot, when it is cold, etc.
Pathological leukocyte elevation may be due to urinary tract infections such as cystitis, urinary stones, acute and chronic pyelonephritis, prostate enlargement, urethral stricture, neurogenic bladder, etc. Pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria have entered the urinary system and can lead to high white blood cells in the urine routine. The treatment can be antibiotic treatment, such as ampicillin, cephalosporins, etc. Drink more water and do not eat spicy and stimulating food.
Neutrophils are the main component of white blood cells, and changes in neutrophils can greatly affect the number of white blood cells. Factors that cause neutrophilia include acute infections and severe tissue injury, such as after severe trauma, surgery, burns, and heart attack, in addition to acute hemorrhage, acute poisoning, leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, and malignancies can cause neutrophilia.
