What Does Blood In Urine Indicate?

I have had blood in my urine for a few days. I saw my PCP. He had me go to the hospital for a back xray and a kidney ultrasound. The ultrasound showed a swelling in the kidney. He wants me to pick yup a script for additional tests as an outpatient and see a urologist next week. I am having a lot of pain in my side and back. Should I do outpatient testing or should I go to the ER?
