I need urgent help for my cat with rgds to urinary tract infection / kidney disorder.

My 17 year old cat has been urinating very frequently.

We did 3 blood tests and 2 urine tests.

In the 1st blood test on 20oct, her urea is 14.8mmol/L and her crea is 247micromol/L. She was hospitalised for 3 days and given the IV drip. The blood levels went back to normal. In the blood test on 7nov, her urea is 13.0mmol/L and crea is 224micromol/L.

On 7nov, she also did a urine microscopy. Results are as follows:
Pro: trace
RBC: 5-10
Ph: 5
WBC: 75
USG: 1.015
white blood cell > 20/oif
Red blood cell > 10/oif
Suspicions of bacteria in cells

Now, my qn is whether my cat is suffering from UTI or does she have kidney failure? Its the 1st time i am seeing this vet, and she is very inexperienced. I need very urgent advice. My cat is still urinating very frequently. Please help!

I'm sorry that your thread got buried & no one answered. I'm not knowledgeable regarding kidney failure. Perhaps someone else can chime in?

If you feel this vet is inexperienced, I'd be really worried to go back. Are there any better options near you?
