Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
After bypass operations,all patients are on anti-coagulant treatment,to prevent clotting.She's on dialysis, due to reduced kidney function.
Following dialysis, as kidney function improves,it's common to see, blood in urine.The cause for the blood is, due to inflammation in the kidney,called glomerulo-nephritis.As it resolves with treatment,blood is commonly seen,more in people on anti-coagulants.Treatment for RADS, will be tailored according to kidney function. Hope your doubt is cleared.
If you've any other doubt,send it as a direct question,to me.
