VerifiedBlood in the urine can be caused by infections, inflammation, stones or growths anywhere in the urethra, bladder or kidneys. This must be evaluated by a urologist to rule out a growth as the source. The evaluation includes a urinalysis, a urine culture, a urine cell test called a cytology, as well as a Ct scan of the kidneys ( or a sonogram) and a cystoscopy, where the urologist looks in the bladder. Most likely not cancerous, but the evaluation needs to be done to be sure.
The nodule above the kidney could be your adrenal gland- this could be benign- most commonly. Could also be a nodule at the top aspect of the kidney. A urologist will review the Ct scan pictures and then may order an MRI versus a kidney ultrasound to help you sort this out.
