Urine test question - ++blood

Hi
I’ve been experiencing uti symptoms for ten days now - 2 lots of antibiotics later and it’s still there. The gp has said I have negative leukocytes but am having blood and protein show up. So she has sent it away for culture. Am I thinking this can’t be a uti if I have negative leukocytes?

With blood and protein they will think it's an infection hence why they're sending it to grow cultures. Take care a uti is truly awful

Thank you - I guess I was just concerned that there were no leukocytes but maybe the previous two antibiotics have got rid of those…
