Eosinophiluria
Presence of white blood cells in urine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eosinophiluria is the abnormal presence of eosinophils in the urine. It can be measured by detecting levels of eosinophil cationic protein.[1]
Associated conditions
It can be associated with a wide variety of conditions, including:
- Kidney disorders such as acute interstitial nephritis[2] and acute kidney injury from cholesterol embolism
- Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis[3]
Eosinophiluria (>5% of urine leukocytes ) is a common finding (~90%) in antibiotic-induced allergic nephritis, however, lymphocytes predominate in allergic interstitial nephritis induced by NSAIDs. Eosinophiluria is a feature of atheroembolic ARF.[citation needed]
