Hello,
Yes, your urine report points strongly towards acute urinary tract infection. It can be urethritis or cystitis or kidney infection. I suggest you investigate with urine culture report to choose causative agent and antibiotic accordingly.
Drink lots of water and fruit juice. Cranberry juice extract tablet useful in such case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
