Your test result of LEUKOCYTES NOT DETECTED is a GOOD sign. Your body produces leukocytes (white blood cells) to fight infection, so the absence of leukocytes suggests the absence of a urinary tract or kidney infection.
The best way to prevent UTIs is to physically flush bacteria out of the urinary tract when you urinate. This is the most important tip for preventing UTIs. The more water you drink, the more you urinate. So if you feel a UTI coming on or dehydration, consider it a sign from your body to drink more water!
