@shcollier, I moved your post to the Kidney Conditions group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/kidney-conditions/ as well as the Bladder Conditions group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/bladder-conditions/
I can imagine that you are confused as the doctors that a reason or source for the bleeding has not yet been found. Unsettling to say the least. I'm glad that the doctors continue testing to get to the bottom of what is going on. Keep asking questions.
Blood in urine (hematuria) can be caused by a wide range of things as listed in this article from Mayo Clinic
- Hematuria https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/blood-in-urine/symptoms-causes/syc-20353432
Do you have pain when you pee? Was infection ruled out?

No UTI. They went back in 2nd time replaced stent and urologist did laser ablation on what they called an abnormality. Pathology came back as “ CK7 positive epithelial cells
which are nonreactive with CA-IX, P504S, and CD117. The findings may not represent the targeted lesion due to the
abundance of hemorrhage and inflammation as well as the paucity of viable tissue. Additional tissue procurement is
recommended.” So urologist said they cut out the abnormality portion so additional procurement isn’t possible currently. Now sched for quarterly ct scans with contrast for who knows how long. Guessing they are just making sure no additional things found? Still urinating blood on and off (but ligh pink at least now) even after 2 weeks of 2nd stent being removed. Urologist went over acceptable amounts of blood to see in urine. Not idea what is going on now still have some discomfort in right kidney but no actual pain currently.
