The blood in urine can be from following causes_Glomerulonephritis, _kidney infection, cystitis like bladder infection,_urethritis etc. So for further work up urine routine microscopic examination and USG scan done. If urine shows pus cells, bacteria than culture done. If urine shows pathological cast than kidney affection present. Rule out family history of coagulation disorder as well.
