Hello and welcome.

Why don't you discuss the possibility of a ureteroscopy with your doctor. I am not sure if I have understood the source of bleeding well enough, but the investigation will help explore the bladder, urethra, etc; this should help with more clear visualisation of the renal tract.

Please do discuss the same with your mothers doctor, this will be helpful if the blood is noticed in the urine. I hope I have been helpful here. I would also like to add, severe loss of blood is a serious threat and should not be taken lightly. All the tubes and life supporting and stabilising that is present is mandatory and helpful.

Best wishes.
