Description

Hematuria, also known as blood in the urine, is a medical condition in which red blood cells are present in the urine. There are two types of hematuria: gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria. Gross hematuria refers to the presence of visible blood in the urine, which may appear pink, red, or brown in color. Microscopic hematuria refers to the presence of red blood cells in the urine that can only be detected under a microscope. Hematuria can be caused by a variety of factors, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder or kidney infections, prostate problems, trauma to the urinary tract, certain medications, and various forms of cancer. If you experience hematuria, it is important to see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause of the condition, but may include antibiotics, surgery, or other medical interventions.
