Blood in urine: Blood in urine is called hematuria. If you can see it, it is macroscopic hematuria meaning larger amount of blood than if u had microscopic hematuria. If infection has been ruled out by proper culture, which can not be assumed always, other causes of inflammation like growth, stones, drugs and other renal diseases need to be ruled out.

Yes: Cystitis (bladder infection) can cause blood in the urine. There are other reasons for blood in the urine so this is a symptom that needs to be reported to your physician.
