My father blood test showed a creatinine level of 9 and potassium level of 7.56, so the doctor advised immediate dialysis. He has undergone two dialysis sessions so far, one the day before yesterday and one today. The ultrasound report shows that both kidneys are normal in size and there are no stones. However, the urine report indicates elevated RBCs and pus cells. Now, the doctor is recommending a kidney biopsy. I would like to understand what the next steps should be and whether the biopsy is necessary at this stage.

High creatinine and potassium suggest acute kidney injury. Biopsy may help determine cause. Follow nephrologist advice. Monitor closely.

A doctor advised me to do a CBC, FBS, and urine test as I had itchiness, pain, and irritation on the clitoris and labia, along with some medication. Please tell me what the urine test indicates. I have attached the urine test report. Please suggest?
