Hi,

Blood in urine is definitely an alarming sign and it needs to be investigated and addressed. As you have other issues like diabetes, stones and these can cause it.

You are therefore advised to get consulted by a nephrologist for proper examination and accordingly you would be treated. You may be required for an ultrasound, blood tests to see the level of urea, uric acid and creatinine to find functions of kidneys.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
