a friend of mine is urinating blood for the past 3 say and she it quite weak, she says its a lot but she wont go see a doctor...so im just trying to find out what is wrong with her so i can see how extreme the issue is and FINALLY make her go to the doctor. she has a hole in one of her kidneys so i dont know if that could be a reason why...

Sounds like a urinary tract infection. These can lead to kidney infections if left untreated. She will need antibiotics of some sort and this can only come from visiting a doctor.
Kidney infections can lead to kidney failure.
Sooo unless she wants to end up on dialysis, she needs to see a doctor.

She needs to see a doctor, it can be a number of things including a UTI.
