Treatment of high leucocytes in the urine
Treatment of high leucocytes in the urine depends on the treatment of the cause, as follows:
-
- Antibiotic therapy for urinary tract infections
- Renal stones need removal by drinking more water if there are small, sound waves, or surgery if there are large.
- Other causes of obstruction may need specific treatment, such as chemotherapy for cancer or surgery.
- Some lifestyle changes may be useful, such as drinking more water, and evacuation of the bladder when it is full.
In some cases, we may see high leucocytes in the urine without the detection of bacteria, which known as sterile pyuria.
