Hello Sir, my father is a diabetic patient. His urine report shows P++++ albumin, full field pus cells, and 12 RBCs. Which further tests should be done now to understand his condition better?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My 9 month old daughter routine urine test showed 500 pus cells per hpf. A follow up urine culture showed occasional white blood cells per hpf but no bacterial growth after two days of incubation. What should be the next steps? Currently, she is taking Levomac, Zifi, Maxtra, and Econorm, and I am giving her a liquid diet along with breastfeeding.
