Brief Answer:
Incomplete reports sent for conclusive diagnosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Setia and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
Both attachments sent are identical. only urine report is sent.
No other report.
The urine report shows blood cells (RBC).
This could be due to various causes,including urinary infection. ( UTI ).
Epithelial cells are only skin cells and can be ignored.
Protein isn't seen in the urine report.
To diagnose an UTI, an urine culture test is a must.
To know about kidney damage,you'll need to do several tests,like :
1. urine-ACR,and 24 hours urine protein level.
2. S.creatinine, BUN,electrolytes and eGFR.
3. Ultrasound scan -KUB,with residual urine.

Wish you well.
