[|Human|] Platelet count has been increasing over the years from 2011 thru 2014 as follows: 357, 402, 425, 479. In years 2011 thru 2013 urinalysis showed leukocyte esterase as trace. In 2013 it was high 3+ negative. No urinalysis in 2014 so far. What does all this mean?
[|AI|]  Hello and thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Usually we look at leukocytes in the urine as a sign of urinary tract infection. If the amount is very high then the likelihood is high for infection. If it is just trace then infection is less likely. This is an inexact test so when we see leukocytes in the urine we also send the urine for culture and this can give us a more exact answer to whether or not there is an infection. I hope this is helpful.
