Hi
Thanks for your query.
If you have right flank pain it is unlikely to be due to spleen problems.
If you have WBCs in urine it could well be due to a UTI.
I would recommend that you do the following tests: CBC and urine culture.
This will tell us if you have an infection.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
