Brief Answer:
Kidney biopsy might be necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
As all mentioned tests are quite fine (apart from RBC in urine), your next step is Neprologist consult (not Urologist) and consider kidney biopsy. Please note that diseases called glomerulonephritis can give no symptoms at all and blood in urine can be the only sign of it. As there is lots of Glomerulonephritis types and every is different, its hard to give an exact diagnosis here.
That is why please consult nephrologist.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
