Pyuria is a urinary condition related to white blood cells.This can be identified through urine test.
It will diagnose pyuria if one have at least 10 white blood cells in each cubic millimeter of urine. This often indicates infection. In sterile pyuria, however, persistent white cell counts appear during testing without bacterial infection.
Pyuria refers to having white blood cells or pus cells in the urine. Women are at a greater risk for pyuria than men.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common cause of pyuria.
Other causes of pyuria may include:
The long-term use of the following drugs can also cause pyuria:

Some cases of pyuria don’t cause symptoms. It’s important to have an annual urine test to detect possible issues.
Complications
Left untreated, pyuria can lead to further health complications. Since most cases are caused by some form of an infection, this can spread throughout the body. Untreated infections can lead to blood poisoning and organ failure. Permanent kidney damage is a concern with untreated UTIs. Severe cases of pyuria, left untreated, could be fatal.
Sometimes getting an incorrect diagnosis can also complicate treatment. In some cases, treating pyuria with an antibiotic may make the condition worse. This is perhaps because many symptoms of pyuria are actually attributed to inflammation and not bacterial infection.
If one is pregnant, a routine uranalysis may show pyuria. While this can be alarming, pyuria is actually common during pregnancy. It can happen because of excess vaginal discharge. If test reveals pyuria, doctor will need to determine the cause to recommend the best course of treatment. While vaginal discharge may contaminate urinalysis results, it’s important to make sure one don’t have a UTI or another type of infection.
Usually pyuria isn’t a cause for concern in pregnant women. If misdiagnosed or left untreated, though, it could put one and her baby at risk for further health complications. Severe pyuria associated with an untreated UTI may lead to premature birth or a low birth weight in full-term babie
