I also have stage 3/4 CKD and although they test for blood in the urine when I go to see my consultant it is normally negligible.

If blood is visible then I think you need to get to get to your GP or consultant if only to confirm there are no major issues.

Take care.

Great advice from Jann, visible Haematuria ( blood in the urine ) needs investigated ASAP.

I also have ANCA vasculitis. My kidney function is 14%, I'm having a transplant (my dad has been passed to donate) within the next few weeks and my urine has high levels of blood when tested.

BUT the blood is not visible. Therefore if you can actually see blood in your urine, it needs to be checked asap!
