My fiance had surgery on March 19th.. I know he is not drinking enough because his urine is darker than should be. He went to his regular urologist yesterday and they did a urine culture, it came back clean but the doc said there were leukocytes in the urine.. said it was normal after surgery. I am a little concerned about this.. could it be his kidneys? Has anyone had any experience with this?

Guessing that you Googled leukocytes and saw that it's just White Blood Cells.... After surgery there's a lot of healing going on and it too sounds normal to me that there's be more white cells to help fight infection.
