Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 Yes, here, too...especially if the stix are even the slightest bit old, we've discovered they will be positive for leukocytes. Because he's got a history of UTI's, we keep some sterile specimen cups at home from our pediatrician, who will run a UA if/when needed.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 Yes. My daughter always shows large for leukocytes. I was told that it is not the most reliable test. The urinalysis is reliable. If nitrite is also positive on the ketostix than it should be investigated.
