Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mother recently had a urine test and results came back That the Test showed contamination. Also, her leukemia esterase showed moderate. She showed negative in all other parts of the test for UTI. Can you explain? She still has burning. Should she return to doctor?Leuk not leukemia.
As your mother's urine sample showed contamination it's better to get repeat urine analysis done. As leukocyte esterase is increased there is a possibility of urinary tract infection.
Thank you
