Urologist,  's  Response
Hi
Dysmorphic RBC indicate that the source of blood is the glomerulus- the filtering unit of the kidney. It might occur in common conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes or intake of drugs affecting kidneys. Other possibility is glomerulonephritis.

If there is no significant proteinuria (excess protein in urine) then the kidney affection is not very significant. However he needs full investigation by an urologist first like ultrasound of urinary tract, blood test for kidney function and possibly cystoscopy. His 4 mm stone in the kidney does not need any treatment.
