Blood in urine:: This is common with kidney stones. Call the urologist that he saw to find out what signs he should watch for that would mean he needs to contact him before his appointment and what signs are serious enough that he has to be seen again right away. Follow up with that doc as he/she instructed. Follow the instructions you were given (ask for instructions for what to do at home, if you did not get any
