My wife has been experiencing body ache, backache, fatigue, and a burning sensation while passing urine. She had urine and blood tests today. The report shows trace albumin in urine and 8 to 10 pus cells. Could you please advise whether this indicates a kidney problem or a normal urinary tract infection? Should we be concerned about the albumin in urine, and is it likely due to infection or kidney damage?

Suggests lower urinary tract infection. Trace albumin is due to infection, not kidney damage. Needs antibiotics and hydration. No long term worry if infection resolves. Perform RFT and Urine culture test.
