She is alert, well hydrated, and able to tolerate oral fluids. Vital signs are as follows: temperature 100.8°F, blood pressure 118/72 mmHg, heart rate 92 bpm, respiratory rate 16 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation 99% on room air. Physical examination demonstrates left costovertebral angle tenderness. Urinalysis reveals positive nitrites, positive leukocyte esterase, pyuria, bacteriuria, and WBC casts. A urine culture is obtained before initiating treatment. Which of the following is the most appropriate antibiotic selection?

A 40-year-old woman is newly diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. During the visit she asks whether her eye irritation and “bulging eyes” are related to her thyroid condition. Which diagnosis best explains these findings?

Laboratory studies reveal: Urine dipstick: 3+ blood, 2+ protein, negative nitrites, negative leukocyte esterase Urine microscopy: Dysmorphic RBCs, numerous RBC casts, no bacteria Urine culture: No growth after 48 hours Serum creatinine: 2.6 mg/dL (baseline 0.9 mg/dL) eGFR: 29 mL/min/1.73 m² UACR: 620 mg/g Based on these findings, what is the most appropriate next step?
