What does 3 white blood cells in urine routine mean

When doing a routine urine test, if the result is three plus white blood cells, most people will panic. In fact, there are many reasons for high white blood cells, so we should not blindly define it. We must first understand the causes and take more scientific and effective treatment and coping methods according to our own conditions. If it is caused by some infection problems, of course we must focus on treatment.

1. Reasons

1. The reason for the high white blood cell count is that there is inflammation somewhere in the body. The body takes self-protection measures to increase the number of white blood cells to phagocytize harmful bacteria. Therefore, this principle is used in medicine to verify whether the body is inflamed or damaged. For example, colds, fevers, and injuries are all caused by respiratory tract infections, soft tissue infections, etc., which will cause a sharp increase in the number of white blood cells in the body.

2. The normal range of white blood cells is between 4 and 10. Some patients have a slightly higher or lower score. If there are no symptoms, there is generally no problem. Generally speaking, high white blood cell count is caused by G-bacterial infection or blood disease, while low white blood cell count is usually caused by G+bacterial infection or blood disease. Generally, an increase in white blood cell count is a manifestation of inflammation or disease and does not cause any serious harm.

2. How to understand the urine routine test report?

1. Urine protein (PR0)

Normal urine routine examination generally shows no protein, or only a trace amount. Increased and persistent urine protein is often seen in kidney disease. However, proteinuria may occasionally occur during fever, strenuous exercise, and pregnancy. Therefore, when there is protein in the urine, follow-up observation is necessary to determine the cause.

2. Urine glucose (GLU)

Positive urine sugar should be combined with clinical analysis. It may be diabetes or renal glucosuria caused by a lowered renal glucose threshold. The diagnosis should be confirmed by combining blood sugar testing and related test results. Since vitamin C and aspirin in urine can affect the urine sugar results, stop taking vitamin C and aspirin 24 hours before checking urine sugar.

3. Urine red blood cells (RBC)

When there are more than 5 red blood cells in the urine under each high-power microscope field, it is called microscopic hematuria; when there are a large number of red blood cells, it is called "gross hematuria", which can be seen in urinary tract inflammation, infection, stones, tumors, etc., and should be taken seriously, and further examination should be carried out at a urology specialist immediately to determine the location and cause of the hematuria.
