What causes high white blood cell count in pregnant women's urine1

  1. Pregnant women undergo routine urine tests during prenatal check ups, and it is found that there is a high level of white blood cells in the urine, which may be caused by urine contamination. This situation needs to be rechecked, and a short to medium period of urination should be selected for recheck. If the high level of white blood cells in the urine still persists, it may be related to urinary tract infections.

  2. Urinary system infection during pregnancy is a common complication in women, which can be caused by various factors such as dilation of the renal pelvis and ureter, excessive secretion of estrogen and progesterone by the placenta, or incomplete urination due to excessive bladder filling.

  3. Physiological diabetes can also cause infections in the urinary system. Due to the increase of some nutrients in urine during pregnancy, women are prone to physiological diabetes, which is beneficial for bacterial growth and can lead to urinary system infections. If a pregnant woman is diagnosed with pathological high white blood cell count in urine, it is necessary to undergo further detailed examination to confirm the cause, and receive timely anti infection treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
