Hello,
Red blood cells in urine means hematuria and WBC in urine means infection. . Most often it is related to urinary tract problems like kidney stones, inflammation of urinary tract, prostate enlargement, renal vein thrombosis, certain kidney tumors and polycystic kidney disease, blood coagulation disorders and anticoagulants.
Please consult a urologist and get it evaluated.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Next step is the organism should be identified and treatment should begin. However, this could be some other condition as well. That is up to your physician to further investigate.
