Medical - Medical (general) / Laboratory results
German term or phrase: Nachw., U.
This is in a list of lab results. I know there is a Kudoz entry for Nachw., but in a legal context, which does not work here.
It is for erythrocytes and leucocytes, "Nachw., U." and the values given are in Mpt/l, as < 5 or 10.
Any help much appreciated!

"Leukocyte Esterase
Leukocyte esterase is an enzyme present in most white blood cells (WBCs). Normally, a few white blood cells (see microscopic examination) are present in urine and this test is negative. When the number of WBCs in urine increases significantly, this screening test will become positive.

When the WBC count in urine is high, it means that there is inflammation in the urinary tract or kidneys. The most common cause for WBCs in urine (leukocyturia) is a bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI), such as a bladder or kidney infection."
