Corrected calcium levels to determine hypercalcemia. by Dana H on Sun Jul 13, 2014 9:09 pm. Hello all, I remember reading either a Beacon forum post or a news article which discussed corrected calcium levels to determine the C in CRAB, hypercalcemia, but can't seem to locate it. I realize there is a formula to use to determine this corrected value, but am somewhat confused about it.
White Blood Cells in the Urine. White blood cells (or leukocytes) in the urine may be detected in the microscopic analysis of urine. In general, the presence of these cells in the urine is suspicious for a urinary tract infection (UTI).hite Blood Cells in the Urine.

When this test is positive and/or the WBC count in urine is high, it may indicate 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. In addition to WBCs, bacteria and RBCs may also be seen in the microscopic examination. If bacteria are present, the chemical test for nitrite may also be positive (see below).
