Urologist: For RUQ (right upper quadrant pain) an ultrasound to look for gallstones may be considered as well as blood tests to evaluate liver studies (eg, ast, alt, alk phos, bilirubin, etc). For the blood in urine a urologist might be needed to evaluate for causes.

Hematuria: Blood in the urine is never normal. Stones, cancer, tuberculosis, and other issues all need to be looked for and excluded as possibilities. Seeing a urologist would be a good idea.
