Service Providers for Urine For Leu (Leukocytes)
A urine test for leukocytes (white blood cells) checks for the presence of these immune cells in the urine, primarily to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs). It typically involves a dipstick test that reacts with enzymes released by leukocytes, changing color to indicate their presence. No special preparation is required. The test is generally safe with minimal risk. Increased leukocytes may suggest a UTI or other inflammatory conditions, but further evaluation is often needed for confirmation. Conditions like vaginal contamination can sometimes affect test accuracy.
