There are several components to a urinalysis such as specific gravity, pH, leukocyte esterase, protein, glucose, nitrite, bilirubin, urobilinogen, blood and a microscopic analysis including white blood cells, red blood cells, bacteria, epithelial cells, etc. A urinalysis can be used to diagnose anything from kidney stones to pyelonephritis so in order to know what positive 3 means, you will have to know which component showed the result.

A negative result makes it unlikely an infection exists, thus making further testing of the urinary with a microscopic examination and urine culture for bacteria usually unnecessary.Although a urinary tract infection is the most common cause of leukocyte esterase in urinalysis some other and rarer causes for the positive result with a negative microorganism culture do exist.
