Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic. Isolated​ renal pelvis dilatation of 5mm is not a significant abnormality and resolves overtime. Increasing dilatation at followup may suggest PUJ obstruction or VUR. Blood in urine might be due to local eczema or erosion or rash, urinary tract infection, stones, glumerulonephritis etc. In your case stones are ruled out as USG shows no stones. Ask your doctor for investigations like urine analysis and urine culture sensitivity. Urine analysis will diagnose whether hematuria is actually present or not. Urine culture will diagnose urinary tract infection.
