Doctor's Assessment Included
Every result includes a professional assessment from a BIG-registered doctor. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.
Urine Sediment Leukocytes
Sediment leukocytes are white blood cells counted under the microscope in spun-down urine. A few are normal; a higher number can point to inflammation or infection in the urinary tract.
What It Measures
This is the microscopic white-blood-cell count in your urine sediment, reported per microliter. Unlike the dipstick leukocyte screen, it is an actual cell count, and it is interpreted together with the urine culture and your symptoms.
Lifestyle Tips
A clean-catch midstream sample and good hydration give the most reliable result. If the count is raised, your GP can advise whether a culture or treatment is needed.
