One to five leukocytes per high power field on the microscope is considered normal, However, one should look at the whole field and evaluate this as a whole picture. If also many bacteria are present as well and/or many red blood cells, then a pathologic picture may be present (ie a condition such as an infection or other kidney disease). If your urine is absent of other abnormal findings, and a small amount of Leukos are seen, I would not worry about it.
