Testing and exams are important for diagnosing a possible reason for bloody urine. This may include a physical exam and a discussion of your medical history.
To diagnose the cause of the hematuria and develop a treatment plan, your doctor can examine your urine and request imaging tests.

There are two main types of hematuria (Blood in the Urine): gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria.
A positive test result for red or white blood cells in the urine may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney disease, or liver disease, which may require treatment.
Certain medications, strenuous exercise, sexual activity, or a menstrual cycle may be responsible for the bleeding.

What basically is hematuria?
The presence of visible blood in the urine is referred to as haematuria. Blood may be drawn from the kidney (where urine is produced) or from any other region of the urinary tract. The ureters (the tubes that link each kidney to the bladder), the bladder, the prostate (in men), and the urethra comprise the urinary tract.
In most cases, haematuria is not dangerous. Nonetheless, the cause should be determined because, in rare circumstances, the cause could be a serious disease or bladder cancer.
Is blood always visible in urine?
Haematuria is classified into two types:
- Macroscopic haematuria: the blood is visible, as it has coloured the urine pink, reddish, or brownish. If you find blood in your urine, you must speak with a doctor immediately.
- Microscopic haematuria: the colour of the urine appears normal, but under a microscope, red blood cells can be detected. This is typically identified during a routine urine test.
What are the signs and symptoms of hematuria?
As previously stated, macroscopic haematuria causes the urine to change colour due to the presence of red blood cells. Even a small amount of red blood cells causes urine to turn crimson, and the bleeding is usually not unpleasant. However, the passage of blood clots through the urine might be uncomfortable. Generally, there are no other indications or symptoms associated with haematuria.
What are the causes of haematuria? Bloody Urine
The most common causes of haematuria found by health professionals are:
- A bladder or urinary tract infection creates a burning sensation or pain when peeing.
- A kidney infection
- Certain kidney infection or illnesses create kidney stones, which typically cause pain in the back or sides.
- Excessive exertion or injury
- enlarged prostate
- can lead to the development of prostate cancer in the bladder, prostate, or kidney.
Although short bouts of dehydration cannot directly cause haematuria, regularly or chronically not drinking enough water can damage the kidneys and eventually lead to urinary bleeding as it aggravates underlying urinary disorders, such as infections.
Is haematuria a dangerous condition?
In many circumstances, the presence of blood in the urine is caused by a non-serious condition that may be detected and treated after consulting with a specialist. Nonetheless, it is critical to rule out more dangerous illnesses such as bladder, prostate, and kidney cancer.
How is hematuria identified?
A variety of tests may be conducted to determine the cause of blood in the urine.
Urine tests can reveal information about the composition of the urine as well as the health of certain cells in the bladder and kidney lining.
Blood testing can reveal signs of kidney or other illnesses.
CT scans can show any abnormalities inside the kidneys, bladder and ureters as well as kidney stones.
Cystoscopy is a procedure which permits a camera to be put into the bladder so it may be viewed by a specialist.
A little sample of kidney tissue is removed for examination under a microscope for symptoms of disease during a kidney biopsy.
Can haematuria be avoided?
Haematuria cannot be avoided in many circumstances. However, by adopting the following precautions, the chance of having one of the underlying disorders that could be some of the common causes haematuria (mentioned below) can be reduced:
- Urinary tract infections: drink plenty of fluids, urinate frequently, and, for women, wipe away urine from the front to the rear.
- Kidney stones: drink plenty of fluids and restrict your intake of salt and protein.
- Bladder cancer: drink plenty of fluids, quit smoking, and prevent chemical exposure.
- Kidney cancer: avoid smoking, having a healthy body weight is always a good thing, along with a healthy diet.
What is the treatment for haematuria?
The best treatment for haematuria depends on the reason. Which will start with a blood test, It may consist of antibiotics to remove a urinary tract infection, drugs to attempt to reduce the size of an enlarged prostate, or shockwave treatment to dissolve stones in the kidney or bladder.
A follow-up visit is usually required to ensure that there is no longer blood in the urine and that the underlying cause of the bleeding has been adequately treated. In some circumstances, no medication is required, and patients can relieve their symptoms by resting and drinking plenty of fluids.
Blood in urine (hematuria) in females: Causes, diagnosis, and treatment
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, stones in the urinary tract may cause pink, red or brown urine, frequent urination incontinence, or involuntary urination, painful urination, cloudy or foul-smelling urine.
The Urology Care Foundation lists dehydration, excessive salt consumption, gastrointestinal issues (e.g. Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis), thyroid abnormalities and obesity as potential causes of increased risk.

Even though urine may appear normal, a urinalysis may detect trace amounts of blood due to accompanying symptoms or a general health screening.
