There are 5 leukocytes in the human body. They include: Eisinophil, basophil, neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte. The leukocytes that end in "phil" are more granular than the cytes.
Leukocytes in the urine are not always a diagnosis of infection present, the amount and degree of leukocytes present is key. +1 +2 or +3 leukocytes indicate bacteria are growing. Higher numbers may be present in people when there is a UTI or several other conditions: such as cancer, kidney infection, and cystitis, urethritis, or contamination, vaginal secretion. Usually when leukocytes are found, the patient's symptoms suggest what to do next. Often, a course of antibiotics is given as a first line treatment when infection is suspected, and nothing more is done if the antibiotics work.
