AnswerWell, she should have a full evaluation on the kidneys and bladder, once.... there are several different ways to do it... the kidneys can be looked at with ultrasound, or cat scan or an IVP- a shot of dye and plain xrays. Then the bladder gets evaluated separately, with a scope or a catheter inserted and dye pushed in and xrays taken. This should be done once, to make sure there are no problems causing the blood. If these are normal, then the blood can be ignored.
Hope this helps....
