I have a history of kidney stones. About two weeks ago, I had sharp back pain on one side, and after going to the ER where they found no sign of a stone, I had a recheck appointment where there was a lot of blood in my urine. Today, the blood is still present, and there is no sign of a stone or infection. What could cause this?

I have a mole that was graded 3-5 and another halo nevus graded 5. The doctor said they're not skin cancer but the cells look funky. I'm worried because I read that halo nevus can mean there's melanoma somewhere on the body. What does this grading mean, and should I be concerned about melanoma?
