Findings may suggest urinary tract infection(UTI).UTI is indicated by presence of excessive WBC and RBC in urine. You need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hemogram,urine RE/ME,renal function test,Urine culture and sensitivity and Ultrasound of abdomen.
Nitrite test and Leukocyte esterase test can be done for confirmation of UTI. Proper antibiotics should be prescribed after culture and sensitivity report. You should drink plenty of fluids.
