Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the kidney that can follow an infection with the streptococcal bacteria. The blood in the urine usually resolves by six weeks into the problem. The urine may have protein in it for several months. Usually the problem resolves by 6 months without any treatment.
Nephrologists, particulary pediatrtic nephrologists, deal with non-surgical kidney disease. I would see one of them to try to get some definitive answers.
