High leukocyte levels in the urine may mean a urinary tract infection or other underlying inflammatory medical problems, such as kidney infection and kidney stones. Leukocytes, also known as white ...

While red blood cells were first observed under a microscope in 1658, it was until the 1800s that white blood cells were discovered. Since then, both red and white blood cells have been of interest to ...

Longer leukocyte telomere length is associated with higher left ventricular mass (LVM) and larger global ventricular size, as well as better cardiac function and lower risk of heart failure (HF). The ...
