Understanding a Small Leukocyte Esterase Result During Pregnancy
Questionhi, i am pregnant. all my urine test results were negative except leukocyte esterase showed " small " . is this anything that i should worry about or concerned.
AnswerI'd be glad to try and answer your question. Leukocyte esterase is a measurement in the urine for WBC (white blood cells). WBCs in the urine could indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI). But since your result was "small" and if your not having any symptoms, I would say that this is normal. Sometimes a normal urine will have a small amount of WBCs because of skin contamination.
