The condition you described is called Hematuria. If the blood is visible, this is called macroscopic hematuria, if the blood is discovered via a urine test in the lab, it is called microscopic hematuria. I would bring this to your PCP, conditions to look for include infection to the urinary tract, stones, or some type of illness that may have affected the actual kidney structure. I would start with a urine dipstick and microscopic analysis if this was not done. A referral to a urologist or a kidney specialist may be warranted if the work-up revealed a definite condition.
Wishing you the best.
