See your doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor.
The blood in the urine is abnormal and can come from any part of urinary tract system. The work up should start with seeing Urologist. Usually a CT of abdomen and pelvis with IV contrast and Cystoscopy will be required. If all these are negative then the blood is coming from the kidney. In that case a Renal biopsy is warranted.
Visible blood in the urine is something you must not ignore. You will need a cystoscopy (a small scope passed into the bladder) to evaluate this problem. The multiple possibilities range from kidney stones to cancer, but it should definitely prompt an evaluation. Likelihood of a specific diagnosis depends on age, gender, smoking status, and accompanying symptoms.
