Increased numbers of white blood cells in urine are usually a sign of a urinary tract infection or other renal diseases.

White blood cells are a normal component in the secretions of the male and female genital tracts and can be present in normal urine with concentrations of 0 to 8 cells per high-power field. Some laboratories culture urine with >5 white blood cells per high-power field to rule out a urinary tract infection.
