Passing blood in urine (hematuria) can be due to many causes: infections, stones, tumor etc.
She needs medical attention. A Urine RE (routine examination), an ultrasound scan to image the urinary tract and plain abdominal radiograph for KUB (urinary tract) would help to determine cause of bleeding.
Please discuss it with your doctor.
