Urinary tract infections

Background:  Right total nephrectomy 9/2013, clear cell, stage II (tumor size 7.5 cm), clear margins on path.  CT scan of chest, abdomen & pelvis 3/2014 NED.  CT scan of abdomen and chest x-ray 9/2014 NED.

This afternoon I saw my primary care doctor.  I told her that, just today, I felt the start of some pressure in my bladder area, just like the start of a UTI.  They did a dipstick and said it showed some leukocytes, no blood, no protein.   She said she would do a culture.    Just a short time ago at home, I thought I would test my urine; I have dipsticks.  My dipstick shows quite a lot of leukocytes and a lot of blood.   Of course, it is after hours now so I can't call but plan to in the morning to make sure they did a culture and didn't throw out my specimen as it was given before the appointment.

I have had several UTIs and never showed blood, except for the very first one I had about 7years ago.   I didn't know what the pain was from until a few days had passed and blood showed up in the urine and I had very bad pain.   Doctor told me I had a "wicked UTI."  Antibiotics cleared it.

My question is have you had blood show up with a UTI?  On one hand, I am worried as that can be a sign of recurrent kidney cancer; on the other hand, I checked out NED just two months ago.
