This normally suggests inflammation of some sort, often from a urinary tract infection.

A negative result makes it unlikely an infection exists, thus making further testing of the urinary with a microscopic examination and urine culture for bacteria usually unnecessary.Although a urinary tract infection is the most common cause of leukocyte esterase in urinalysis some other and rarer causes for the positive result with a negative microorganism culture do exist. These include:ChlamydiaInfection with a sexually transmitted microorganism called ureaplasma urealyticumBalanitis, a skin disease occurring at the head of the penisCancer of the bladderKidney stonesTuberculosisA foreign body in the urinary tractGlomerulonephritis, an inflammation of small blood vessels in the kidneysPrescription drugs such as corticosteroids
