Is Presence Of Blood In Urine Due To Bladder Or Kidney Problem?

Thanks. I am being sent for a urinary scope (I think it's an oscopy?) because my urine has elevated levels of white blood cells and blood. I had not idea but a routine urine test showed high levels (don't know how high). My G.P. sent me to a specialist who is sending my urine for culture and other tests. How serious does this sound? Do I have bladder or kidney problems or cancer?
