What Causes Ankle Swelling And Blood In Urine After Having Stents In Kidney?

Hi my Dad just had stents put into his kidneys when he went into renal failure. All his numbers have been great in the hospital. He has been home one day and his ankles are starting to swell and his is continuing to see blood in his urine. He says his output is still good, but I am concerned the swelling is a warning sign.
