What To Do When There Is Blood In The Urine Of Renal Failure Patient?

My husband is in in-stage renal failure and his creatin level is around 6. However, they have not started dialysis because he has no symptoms. Tonight there was significant blood in his urine. It is one in the morning and I want him to go to the emergency room. He does not want to. He has an appointment at the VA at 9 AM in the morning. Can you advise me?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Blood in urine,is called hematuria,which's needs to be tested.
After an examination,an Urologist will ask for some tests to be done:
1.urine routine,culture and ACR.
2.blood routine,creatinine,electrolytes,uric acid,RBS,LFT,platelets,HbsAg.
3.Ultrasound scan-KUB.
The Urologist will advise treatment,depending on the reports.
If you've any doubts,you may send the reports to me,as a direct question.
