Does Cold Show Up As Trace Leukocytes In Urine?
Question: If you have a cold, could that show up as trace leukocytes in your urine with a UTI test or do trace leukocytes only show up if you have a UTI or Vagina infection?
Brief Answer:
unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
If you have cold that is unlikely to cause leucocytes in urine.
The cause of leucocytes in urine may be
-UTI
-vaginal infection
-contamination of urine
-contamination of kit
For vaginal infection you may have vaginal discharge foul smelling and itching. For UTI you may have burning sensation or increased frequency of micturition.
I would suggest you to consult your doctor and confirm UTI which is most likely cause of leucocytes in urine and get treated as UTI drugs are prescription drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
Regards
