Specializes in Pediatrics

Bloody urine: I hope you are under the care of a kidney specialist(nephrologist) You are in need of a workup to find out if you have ESRD or a possible tumor

UTI : Could be an urinary tract infection. A simple urine analysis can test for that. Drinking fluids and cranberry juice helps with UTI. Medications like AZO can relieve symptoms until you see your doctor.
