Hello,
Blood in urine is called hematuria. Most often it is related to urinary tract problems like kidney stones, inflammation of urinary tract, prostate enlargement, renal vein thrombosis, certain kidney tumors and polycystic kidney disease, blood coagulation disorders and anticoagulants.

Diagnostic tests that may be performed include Urinalysis, Urine culture, X-rays of the kidneys, Cystoscopy, IVP, Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen.

The treatment will depend on the cause of the blood in the urine.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hello,
Kidney diseases have been ruled out by CT scan. Lower back pain and frequent urination can be due to spinal causes causing pinched nerve, diabetes, interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder syndrome, neurological diseases, urinary incontinence and bladder dysfunction. In females, urethritis has to be ruled out. It is a primarily female syndrome in which women suffer from irritative bladder symptoms (urinary frequency, urgency, burning  and a hesitant or slowed urinary stream) in the absence of any objective urologic findings.

I suggest you to get it evaluated from a urologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

I would recommend seeing a chiropractor. They are experts in low back pain, but also have a strong background in pathology and would be able to differentiate between radicular pain (pinched nerve) and other causes of the pain.
