Thank you Dr XXXXXXX
As I am having very little knowledge on medical sciences , am unable to understand is my child is having any severe medical issue?
As far as my research on google is indicating it could be abnormality in kidney functionality. Could you please help me is this a major issue or it can be curable?
My doctor prescribed ZANOCIN-50(Ofloxacin Oral Solution) for 8 days and asked us to repeat CUE again.
Thank you once again for your time and support.

Brief Answer:
You need to o these tests to establish diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
thanks for follow up
It is very difficult for any clinician to pinpoint diagnosis only on the basis of urine report.
The problem that your daughter has could be due to some of the congenital abnormalities that are known to occur which needs to be detected and confirmed by these tests to decide further line of treatment
Do not surf on Google It will confuse you rather than offering any solution .
