Explanation / Answer

D) Hematuria : it is the condition of presence of blood in urine. It may happen due to damage to the kidney by the stones.

E) Albuminura : It is the condition of presence of albumin (most abundant protein in blood) in urine. It may happen due to leakage of proteins into the urine as a consequence of renal damage.

F) Blood creatinine : Kidney completely filters out creatinine from the blood. High levels in blood is indicative of renal malfunction. Note that BUN, resulting due to breakdown of protein, may also be a result of kidney damage but it may have other causes too.
