What processes take place during the period after the blood enters the kidneys till the urine leaves the body?
Blood flows to the kidney through the renal artery. Once in the kidney the blood flows through a series of smaller and smaller arteries until it gets to the glomerulus. The glomerulus filters blood and to be very simplistic creates a filtrate of the blood or "urine". This urine then flows through a series of progressively bigger tubules and ducts until it gets to the renal pelvis. At this point urine exits the kidney, it enters the ureter (long tube connecting kidney and bladder), and flows into the bladder where it is held until one desires to urinate. At this time urine flows out of the bladder and into the urethra. The urethra connects the bladder to the outside of the body.
What protects the urinary system organs from the urine itself?
Nothing; your insides are soaked with urine. A less jarring way of putting it is that urine, by itself, is not all that bad as liquids go. It is, in fact, a filtrate of the blood. The kidneys are filters, and when blood passes through the kidneys the kidney output is urine. Urine is as clean as the blood itself, unless there is some infection in the kidneys, bladder or urinary tract. So wherever there is blood in the body, and that covers very close to all of it, there is also urine ready to be filtered out. Urine does not remain a sterile or nearly sterile liquid for very long outside of the body. There may be germs even at the point of exit that contaminate it. Anyone knows that urine will reek if left out or remains on surfaces for any length of time. Various bacteria live happily in it.
If you are anemic and you think you have gotten a urinary infection from sex yes you do see blood in your urine what should you do other than going to a doctor?
Hematuria, the medical term for blood in the urine, could indicate a number of problems. The most common cause of blood in the urine is from damage in the urinary tract. Physical damage in the urinary tract is likely from a kidney stone that has not been passed through the ureters. Kidney stones are normally harmless unless they grow to abnormally large sizes, blocking the flow of urine. The problem with kidney stones comes when they are passed through the ureters and into the bladder. A stone can barely fit through the ureters and is therefore very painful to void. Otherwise, a stone won't cause any long term problems... Other possible reasons for blood in the urine are urinary tract infections, kidney infections, tumors in the urinary tract, or kidney disease. Blood in the urine is the first sign that appears in all of these cases. Protein is often present in these diseases, as well. Unlike kidney stones, infection and diseases are more serious and will likely result in death if left untreated. Since urinary tract infection and kidney problems are harder to treat than many other conditions, early detection is vital...

How efficient is a kidney dialysis machine in comparison to a healthy kidney?
Depends which machine, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis machine. Both are efficient and u can live long, but definitely not as much as you could with a healthy kidney. Dialysis machines purify you're blood but they don't purify it always well enough and they purify blood elements that they should not purify also. So its best to be healthy :)
