Hi!
It is quite UNLIKELY that the Filshie clips are causing any problems.  I have removed them in the past for patients who were concerned about them.  Blood in the urine is much more likely to have other causes, and needs to be investigated!  A urologist is probably the best person to see about this problem.  If needed, they can look in the bladder (cystoscopy).
Hope this helps!
