Blood in Urine: When to Worry
What it is and what it could mean
What is hematuria?
Hematuria is the medical term for blood in the urine. It can range from being visible to the naked eye (gross hematuria) to being so small that it can only be detected with a urine test (microscopic hematuria). Depending on the case, hematuria is seen as either a sign of a harmless condition or a more serious medical problem.
Causes of hematuria
There are many possible causes of hematuria, including some that are more serious than others. If you have hematuria, it's important to see a doctor to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
