What Does It Mean When The PH Levels Are Clearly Negative And The Leukocytes Are Mildly Positive?

I did a home urine test and the nitrite and ph levels were clearly negative, but the leukocytes were mildly positive. I do have a history of utis but I also have microscopic hematuria even when my urine sample is negative. What does this result mean?

Hi,

Your results are ok. few leucocytes can be present in urine in normal conditions. RBC in excess in urine needs to be evaluated clinically further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
