Heamaturia

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Blood in urine is most often either due to renal stones, infection of the urinary tract or inflammation of the kidney known as glomerulonephritis.
Here is how you should go about it.

1. Get a urine routine to see how much blood is going through the urinary tract. If pus cells are present along with it then it is most likely due to urinary tract infection. This will require treatmet with antibiotics
2. If the urine routine only shows red blood cells then please get a ultra sound scan done to rule out renal stones.

Blood in urine is not related to bradycardia. Dark urine can be either due to blood or due to lack of intake of water

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
