Hello ..The amount of white blood cells and red blood cells that you are passing in your urine are significant and is not merely related to only urinary tract infection,we can not neglect your kidney cyst , having said that the description and size of your kidney cyst are incomplete, you should see whether the cyst is simple or have septations within ,making it complex in nature. If your earlier ultrasound doesnt gave this information than is suggest you to go for another scan and ask the sonologist same information.Your further management depends on that .
