Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.


* As per my clinical experience, the significant amount of pus cells with RBC mandate underlying infection in the urinary system which may be related to calculus or else.

* In our clinic, I recommend a urine culture, total blood counts, serum creatinine value with ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis for further management guidelines.

* So far as past medical history is concerned, it has to be co related with current clinical condition and all reports for further comments.
