What Does The Urinalysis Report Indicate?
I had an urinalysis done 3 weeks ago. Never heard back from my doctor. I decided tonight to check my lab results on-line as I do not feel well. No UTI symptoms just slight back/hip pain. My Leukocyte esterase is 250 WBC/ul Leukocytes 50 Mucus mod????

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Presence of leukocytes in urine along with raised leucocyte esterase is suggestive of bacterial infection in the urine.
A urine culture with drug sensitivity is required to get growth of bacterial colonies and drug sensitivity.
Drug sensitivity determines the most appropriate and most sensitive antibiotic effective against the bacterial.
I suggest you to consult your physician for prescription of urine culture and sensitivity and thus management.
Thanks and take care
