Elevated segmented white blood cells (WBCs), or neutrophils, typically indicate an ongoing infection, inflammation, or stress response in the body. This condition, known as neutrophilia, can occur due to various factors, including bacterial infections, physical trauma, or certain inflammatory diseases. It may also be seen in response to medications, smoking, or intense physical activity. A healthcare professional should evaluate the underlying cause through further testing and clinical assessment.

Normal levels of white blood cells (WBCs) in a urinalysis are typically less than 5 WBCs per high power field (HPF) in a clean catch urine sample. Elevated levels of WBCs in the urine may indicate infection, inflammation, or other underlying health conditions.
It could be an infection but without knowing what WBCs are elevated and which liver tests are showing that result, you really need to ask the doctor who asked for the tests.
The scientific name for WBCs is leukocytes.
What is that supposed to mean?
The removal of white blood cells (WBCs) from the circulation is primarily carried out by the spleen. The spleen acts as a filter for the blood, where old or damaged WBCs are removed and destroyed. Additionally, the liver also plays a role in removing WBCs from the circulation.

The presence of white blood cells (WBCs) in urine may indicate an infection in the urinary tract or kidneys. WBCs are part of the body's immune response and are typically not present in urine unless there is inflammation or infection present. A urine test can help diagnose the underlying cause of the WBCs in urine.
