On a urinalysis, LE most likely stands for Leukocyte Esterase. This is an enzyme that is released by white blood cells and thus marks for their presence in the urine. Elevated levels of LE may indicate the presence of a urinary tract infection or infection of the bladder or kidneys. A positive test will usually be followed by a culture for certain forms of bacteria that could be present in urine.
