Yes, a renal stone can cause blood in urine.
This is usually due to a Ca-oxalate stone which has spikes on its surface. These spikes are sharp & cause injury to mucosa and bleeding.
Amount of blood is usually not too much.
In my clinic, I always confirm it by urine routine for presence of RBCs.
Also, Renal function tests, blood sugar levels, haemoglobin are done.
Size of stone should be determined by Ultrasound, X-ray KUB & plan treatment.
Hope this information is useful.
Feel free to ask any further query.
Thank you.
