Reasons for high white blood cell count in urine

Eating habits are very important to us modern people. Friends who do not pay attention to hygiene and health and often eat takeout snacks need to be careful. Since there are so many diseases caused by diet, some people will find some problems during normal physical examinations, such as high white blood cell content in urine. What causes this? We still need to understand it in detail, because high levels of white blood cells in urine can cause many diseases. There are often inflammatory problems such as urethritis and vaginitis that affect people's normal life.

No white blood cells can be detected in normal urine. A high level of white blood cells in urine indicates that the urinary system is infected with bacteria, such as urethritis. If any two of the three symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination are present, the urinary system can be confirmed to be infected. However, the positive diagnosis rate of white blood cells in midstream urine is higher. There are many diseases that can cause leukocyturia or pyuria, such as pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis, renal tuberculosis, seminal vesiculitis, and certain glomerular diseases.

Pyuria is a non-specific phenomenon of urinary tract infection. The presence of pyuria cannot be used as evidence of urinary tract infection, and the absence of pyuria cannot rule out urinary tract infection. Drinking a lot of water dilutes the urine, which reduces the number of white blood cells per unit volume. Hypotonic urine causes the white blood cells to disintegrate. In addition, sterile inflammation also produces obvious pyuria. Pyuria can also occur when the urine specimen is contaminated or not fresh. Therefore, it is unreliable to judge urinary tract infection based on pyuria alone.

Urine test also has high white blood cells, indicating that the infection is in the urinary tract (such as ureter, bladder, urethra. The main symptoms of urinary tract infection are: 1. Acute pyelonephritis: 1. Sudden onset; 2. Chills, chills; 3. Fever; 4. General discomfort, headache, fatigue; 5. Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting; 6. Frequent urination, urgency, and pain; 7. Low back pain and kidney discomfort; 8. Tenderness at the upper ureter point; 9. Tenderness at the ribs and waist points; 0. Kidney percussion pain; 11. Bladder tenderness; 2. Chronic pyelonephritis: 1. The phenomenon during acute attack can be the same as acute pyelonephritis, but it is usually much milder, and there may even be no fever, general discomfort, headache and other systemic phenomena, and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain are not clear; 2. Edema; 3. Hypertension; 3. Bladder and urethritis: frequent urination, urgency, and pain, and bladder pain. Urethral secretions.

To sum up, the reason why the urine contains high levels of white blood cells is due to infection. If you don’t pay attention to hygiene habits, inflammation will occur. In severe cases, there may also be problems such as nausea, frequent urination and urgency to urinate, so once a high level of white blood cells is found in the urine, timely treatment must be sought. Patients with this disease also have their kidney function affected.
