What Causes Blood In Urine?

I noticed a very very faint pinkish color on my toliet paper after urinating. So faint I had to look again and make sure I was seeing it correctly. I also have a little burning after urinating I took an at home UTI test and it showed positive for leukocyte and negative for nitrates. The instructions said to clean area and then do test again the next time in needed to urinate. I drank lots of water and then took the test again a couple hours later. The result was trace amounts of leukocyte and negative nitrates. Should I be concerned?
