Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

1. You need to meet a physician/surgeon and get evaluated. Get an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis to look for gall bladder stones which may be the reason behind upper abdominal pain on the right side. If any other mechanical cause will be visualized in ultrasound.
2. The reason behind bright red blood in stools may be due to straining while passing stools, hard stools or constipation. These result in hemorrhoids or fissure in any which is a very painful condition. Meet the doctor and decide further as your blood test shows high leukocyte count, check for liver function test to look into alkaline phosphatase which helps in knowing the biliary disease.

Thank you.

Good luck and healthy life.
