To combat pathogens of various diseases, the body produces leukocytes. Normally, in the urine of a woman, 0-5 leukocytes are found in the field of view.
An increased content of leukocytes (leukocyturia) always indicates inflammatory processes in the kidneys - pyelonephritis, in the urinary tract - cystitis, urethritis or genital organs.
An erroneously positive result is obtained by women who neglect personal hygiene and other rules when taking an analysis.
An excessive increase in leukocytes (pyuria) can be detected even with the naked eye: the urine is cloudy, “flakes” and “threads” float in it. This indicates the accession to the inflammatory process of the purulent.
