Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion your report suggests urinary tract infection(UTI).
UTI are routinely seen in pregnancy.
You will need a course of antibiotics which you have been already prescribed.
Nothing to worry.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres and cranberry juice to prevent UTI.
Also presence of albumin needs to rule out any high BP(blood pressure).
If the BP is normal then need not worry.
Pus cells will clear after the antibiotic course.
Doing complete urine examination after the antibiotic course might help to know the clearance of infection.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
