What Does Large Leukocytes And Blood In Urine Indicate?

Doctor says my 3-year-old granddaughter has large leukocytes and blood in her urine. They re waiting for the cultures to come back, but they seem very concerned. Could this be a sign of diabetes or leukemia or something that could be corrected surgically?

Hi, By large leucocytes I think you mean a large number of leucocytes. If so, coupled with blood in her urine it probably means she has a urinary infection that can happen in a little girl. I am sure your doctor will be able to manage the infection with appropriate antibiotics when the report of culture comes. Only if required other tests may be conducted. Regarding Leukaemia, I hope a routine blood examination was done which would have ruled it out. Similarly for Diabetes a blood sugar if not already done will be done. But it seems unlikely since the urine does not show any sugar.
Please do not worry. regards.
