High Leukocytes =UTI?

Hello,

My 6 year old DD came up with the highest result on a home pee test (caught mid-flow).

Everything else seems normal, including proteins. No other UTI symptoms.

Should I still take her to the docs or are high white blood cells on their own ok?

Google keeps confusing me

That can just be contamination if not a totally clean capture, did you clean before collecting a sample? Why were you even testing if she has no symptoms? I’d advise you not to do unnecessary screening or random tests for children tbh, it can cause them worries & health anxieties.

Wipe between the labia with lukewarm water and rinse well.
