Normally white blood cells are present in the blood and for some reason they enter the urine and form urinary leukocytes. There are a small number of leukocytes in normal urine, usually 1 to 2 leukocytes per high-powered view in centrifuged urine.
Small elevations of leukocytes in urine may be due to physiological causes, such as after vigorous activity, after physical labor, after bathing, during fever, during severe cold, emotional stress, ultraviolet radiation, during menstruation and ovulation in women, during late pregnancy, long-term smoking, the effects of medications, or contamination of urine leukocyte specimens, and high urine leukocytes are normal in these cases.
After ruling out the above factors, it is important to consider a disease cause of high white blood cells in the urine. The most common causes are infections of the urinary system, such as cystitis, acute and chronic pyelonephritis, prostate enlargement, etc. Treatment can be with antibiotic therapy, such as ampicillin, cephalosporins, etc., while eliminating triggers and maintaining personal hygiene. In addition, severe tuberculosis, urinary stones, tumors, trauma, surgery, heart attack, acute hemorrhage, acute poisoning, leukemia, myeloproliferative diseases and malignant tumors can cause an increase in white blood cells in urine. Do not use drugs at your own discretion, but go to the hospital for a timely review to confirm the specific cause before treatment.
