Pyuria is the condition of urine containing white blood cells or pus. Defined as the presence of 6–10 or more neutrophils per high power field of unspun, voided mid-stream urine, it can be a sign of a bacterial urinary tract infection. Pyuria may be present in people with sepsis, or in older people with pneumonia. Others additionally require discoloration, clouding or change in the smell of urine for a pyuria to be present. Without these additional features, there is said to be leukocyturia.

膿尿是一個醫學名詞,顧名思義,就是指尿液裡含膿又或尿道排膿。膿,其實就是死亡或存活的白血球細胞。根據醫學上的定義,未離心的尿液內若每立方毫米存有超過四個中性白血球,又或已離心的尿液內的白血球細胞的濃度超過每立方毫米十個,才能算是有膿尿。
