WBC Esterase 1 plus abnormal typically indicates the presence of white blood cells (WBCs) in a urine sample, suggesting a potential infection or inflammation in the urinary tract. The "Esterase" refers to an enzyme released by WBCs, and a positive result may prompt further investigation, such as a urine culture, to identify the underlying cause. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper interpretation and diagnosis based on this finding.

wbc esterace 2+ Abnormal occult blood 1+ Abnormal wbc 11-30 Abnormal rbc 4-10 Abnormal
My urninalysis came back with WBC esterase as 2+ Abnormal. My WBC under urinalysis came back 6-10 Abnormal ...what does this mean?
There were a few white blood cells in your urine sample.
A positive WBC esterase on a urinalysis typically indicates the presence of white blood cells in the urine, which can be a sign of infection or inflammation in the urinary tract. It is important to discuss these results with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment if needed.
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.
Infection is one possible reason for an abnormal increase in the number of WBC's (white blood cells).
WBC stands for white blood cells, which are a crucial part of the immune system. A WBC count measures the number of white blood cells in a given volume of blood, helping to assess a person's immune function and detect various conditions, such as infections, inflammation, or blood disorders. Abnormal WBC levels can indicate underlying health issues that may require further investigation.
what does it mean to have a 13.0 wbc
yes, if wbcs count 20-40 thousand/cumm, then it is really abnormal. because reference range of t.l.c. is 4000-11000/cumm.
