I am concerned about my urine test report. It shows the presence of 2+ protein, blood cells, and pus cells, while my creatinine and urea levels are normal. I have attached the report for your review. Could you please help me understand what this indicates and whether I should be worried?

Why would protein in urine cause foam?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Earlier, my urine was foamy, and a previous urine report showed trace amounts of protein. So, I underwent further urine tests including USG Abdomen & Pelvis and microalbumin tests. I have attached these reports and would appreciate help in understanding if everything is okay now. Currently, my urine is clear.
