Brief Answer:
He has UTI
Detailed Answer:
He has vulnerability for kidney injury as he is post CABG patient. He appears to have urinary Tract infection ( UTI) with which he became symptomatic. You should have done urine culture before giving him zocef as antibiotic therapy would change the report. Please get ultrasound and urine culture. He deserves an Intravenous antibiotic and other therapy for his symptoms.
