Overview

Haematuria is a condition where there is a presence of blood/red blood cells in urine. It can affect the kidneys and the bladder.

Hematuria refers to the presence of red blood cells in the urine. This is actually a sign that there is a kidney stone or a tumor in the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, prostate, and urethra), ranging from trivial to lethal.

There are two types of haematuria:

Gross haematuria - here, the presence of blood is visible to the naked eye
Microscopic haematuria - here, the presence of blood is generally found when seen under a microscope

Common Hematuria symptoms are:

Painful, frequent, or urgent urination
Passing blood clots in urine
Urine in pink, red, or cola colour
Fever
Bladder pain

The most common hematuria causes include:

Kidney infection
Trauma
Urinary tract infections (UTI)
Certain medications
Bladder and Kidney stones - a kidney or bladder stone can cause microscopic and visible haematuria
Enlarged prostate - an enlarged prostate (bph) can compress the bladder and cause gross and microscopic haematuria.
Urological cancers (cancer of the kidney, ureter bladder).
Inherited diseases - diseases like Sickle Cell can cause haematuria (Sickle Cell disease is a haemoglobin disease that can show up in both visible and microscopic haematuria)
Glomerulonephritis - refers to the inflammation of the kidney.
