There are five types of leukocytes. If a high level of a particular type of leukocyte is found in elevated levels, this can be a sign of disease. The body expels excess leukocytes when they have become damaged or killed fighting off an infection, causing them to be expelled in the urine.ladder infections or inflammation of the urinary tract and ureters can also cause leukocytes to appear in the urine. Sexual intercourse can cause the transfer of bacteria that can cause an infection to form in the urinary tract.
