What Causes Blood In Urine Of An Elderly Person?

89 yr old father has blood in urine. He has a dormant kidney stone for almost 4 yrs. He has not pain or discomfort. No fever. He is on Plavix and aspirin due to several TIAs. Not sure whether this warrants a trip to Urgent Care or just wait to see primary care doc to get referral to Urologist.
