With the presence of WBC's, they'll do a urine culture and you'll have results a day or two later with what they appropriate antibiotic is, if indicated.

Proteinuria (protein in urine) is pretty non-specific. It can come from something as simple as strenuous exercise to something as serious as chronic kidney disease.

I wouldn't worry too much, though. Just go to the lab and get the tests done and follow up. More than likey, it's a bladder infection or UTI - with antibiotics, no problems.
