Eight days ago, my urine output suddenly decreased to about 75 ml in a whole day. I consulted a nephrologist, and my report shows PRO (+1), BIL (+2), BLD (+1), with cortical echogenicity grade 1 on both kidneys. What does this mean, and what is happening with me?

These findings suggest acute kidney dysfunction. Grade 1 cortical echogenicity may mean mild chronic kidney changes. Bilirubin and protein in urine are abnormal. Immediate nephrology follow up and renal function monitoring are critical.

Take a BLOOD UREA NITROGEN (BUN) Test or Take a ESTIMATED GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE (EGFR) WITH CREATININE Test

Please check my kidney function test report. Some values are slightly higher than the normal range. I also did a urine test afterward, which came normal, no pus cells and no albumin traces. I am attaching my blood report. What could be the reason for these higher values?
