One to five leukocytes per high power field on the microscope is considered normal, However, one should look at the whole field and evaluate this as a whole picture. If also many bacteria are present as well and/or many red blood cells, then a pathologic picture may be present (ie a condition such as an infection or other kidney disease). If your urine is absent of other abnormal findings, and a small amount of Leukos are seen, I would not worry about it.

What does a positive result for leukocyte esterase ua from a urinalysis mean?

A positive result for leukocyte esterase from a urinalysis indicates the presence of white blood cells in the urine. This can suggest an infection in the urinary tract, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI). Further evaluation, such as a urine culture, may be needed to determine the specific cause of the elevated leukocyte esterase levels and to guide appropriate treatment.


What does leukocyte esterese is 1 plus and wbc is 0-5 in Urinalysis mean?

A leukocyte esterase result of 1+ indicates the presence of white blood cells (WBCs) in the urine, suggesting a possible urinary tract infection. A WBC count of 0-5 is within the normal range, but in combination with leukocyte esterase positivity, it may indicate an early infection or inflammation in the urinary tract. Further evaluation and follow-up may be needed to determine the cause.

On a urinalysis, LE most likely stands for Leukocyte Esterase. This is an enzyme that is released by white blood cells and thus marks for their presence in the urine. Elevated levels of LE may indicate the presence of a urinary tract infection or infection of the bladder or kidneys.

Epithelial cells and mucus threads was stated rare in your urinalysis result what does this mean?

Finding rare epithelial cells and mucus threads in a urinalysis result is typically not a cause for concern. Epithelial cells in small numbers can be normal shedding from the urinary tract, and mucus threads may be from normal mucous production in the urinary system. However, if there are large amounts or if other abnormal findings are present, further evaluation by a healthcare provider may be needed.
