Testing for urinary leukocyte levels is beneficial for individuals showing symptoms of a urinary tract infection, such as painful urination or frequent urges to urinate. It’s also useful for those with suspected kidney infections, individuals with diabetes or weakened immune systems, and pregnant women, as they are at higher risk for UTIs.

  • Painful or burning sensation during urination
  • Frequent urination
  • Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
  • Lower abdominal pain
  • Fever or chills
How do you lower your urinary leukocyte levels?

To lower urinary leukocyte levels, it’s essential to treat the underlying cause, typically a urinary tract or kidney infection. This usually involves antibiotics to eliminate the infection. Drinking plenty of water helps flush bacteria from the urinary tract. Maintaining good hygiene, particularly around the genital area, is also important to prevent infections.

What factors affect urinary leukocyte levels?
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Kidney infections
  • Bladder or kidney stones
