Blood in urine
 |
Hematuria (blood in urine) is a condition that has a wide range of presentations from microscopic to being seen with naked eye to gross frank blood in urine.
Several different conditions and diseases can cause hematuria. These include infections, kidney disease, cancer, and rare blood disorders. The blood may be visible or in such small quantities that it can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Hematuria cannot be taken lightly. Any blood in the urine can be a sign of a serious health problem, even if it happens only once. Ignoring hematuria can lead to the worsening of serious conditions like cancer and kidney disease, so you should talk to your doctor as soon as possible.
Please consult your family doctor who can analyze your urine and order imaging tests to determine the cause of the hematuria and suggest the correct plan of treatment.
