Hi....by what you quote I feel that there had been an insult to the left kidney due to acute pyelonephritis or vesicoureteric reflux on the left side. Initial plenty of pus cells is suggestive of urinary infection and now 1-2 pus cells means the infection is under control. But it doesnt mean that the kidney function has improved. She needs a dtpa scan and also a MCU.
