Cranberry juice!?: You either have a urinary tract infection or you don't. To treat only with cranberry juice and not an antibiotic is inappropriate. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. Get with a physician in whom you have confidence.

I have done a 24 hr urine test. And came back normal. (Previously high protein). On the contrary my left kidney is still shrinking from 12/2020 at 10.9 to 02/2022 at 8.8 with the left being 12/2020 11.9 to 02/2022 at 11.1. Should this be concerning?
