Your urine report shows gross pyuria (pus cells) and microscopic haematuria (blood). These are not disease in themselves but indicator of many disease of urinary tract. These could be simple diseases like infections or urinary stones, but could indicate serious aliments like cancers. You need detailed investigations to find the cause to treat it effectively.
