A small amount of yeast is not uncommon to find on microscopic examination of urine and is regarded as simply a contaminant from collection as some yeast is normally found on the skin near the urethra.
However, it is important to know that yes, indeed, yeast can be a cause of infection in the bladder. It is not common and not necessarily related to vaginal yeast infections. Those on antibiotics, those who catheterize, or those with a suppressed immune system from serious health issues are all susceptible to yeast growing in the bladder and possibly the kidneys as well.
