Brief Answer: Its certainly an UTI Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Presence of UTI cannot be ruled out as there is infection going on in the body suggested by raised WBC count. Now the confirmation can be done by checking the urine if there are any WBCs present in it right now. YOu have mentioned that you had leukocytes in urine for about a year and half but the current status is also important. Even though you were on three courses of antibiotic , the UTI can still persists if the organisms causing UTI are not sensitive to the antibiotics. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

Brief Answer: CKD may not have leukocytes Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the follow-up query. CKD is a chronic kidney disease and will not have infections as such. The prognosis depends on the cause. If it is severe then dialysis may be needed. (Depending on the creatinine level). It will not have infections as such. But due to reduced immunity there could be a comorbid infection as well. Hope that helps Regards Dr. Srikanth Reddy MD
