Hi,
A high number of leukocytes in the urine may indicate the presence of a urinary tract infection. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of leukocytes in the urine. A UTI can affect any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, and kidneys.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
