What Does Leukocyte Esterase In Urine Indicate?

I had my urine come back testing positive for leukocyte esterase 3+ and my wbc was 40-60 range and just started taking cyril 250mg. Dr thought possible UTI but in reading out on the internet says could be due to UTI or Kidney infection. How would you know if you had issue with kidneys vs bladder and is the treatment the same? Thanks!
