Pyuria not caused by a UTI can share similar symptoms. You may notice:
Some cases of pyuria don’t cause symptoms. It’s important to have an annual urine test to detect possible issues.
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.
Pyuria in pregnancy

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
