---- Overview ----

Hematuria (Blood in Urine)

Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in urine. It can be gross hematuria (visible to the eye) or microscopic hematuria (detected only under a microscope). Regardless of the type, identifying the underlying cause is crucial, as it may indicate an infection, stone, or urinary tract disorder. Timely diagnosis and treatment by a qualified urologist help prevent complications and restore urinary health.

Causes of Hematuria (Blood in Urine)

Hematuria can occur due to various conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, prostate, or urinary tract. Common causes include:

  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Infections in the urinary tract can cause pain, burning during urination, and pink or red urine.
  • Kidney Infections (Pyelonephritis): Inflammation or infection in the kidneys can lead to blood in urine along with fever, flank, or back pain.
  • Kidney or Bladder Stones: Crystals formed from minerals in urine can turn into stones, causing irritation and bleeding.
  • Prostate Enlargement or Infection: An enlarged or inflamed prostate (prostatitis) can obstruct urine flow and result in blood-stained urine.
  • Kidney Diseases: Conditions like glomerulonephritis cause inflammation in kidney filters, allowing blood to mix with urine.
  • Urinary Tract Cancers: Blood in urine or clots may indicate cancer of the bladder, kidneys, or urinary tract.
  • Medications: Blood-thinning medicines such as anticoagulants and antiplatelets may cause mild bleeding in the urinary system.

Symptoms of Hematuria (Blood in Urine)

The main symptom of hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine, which may appear pink, red, or cola-colored. In most cases, the bleeding is painless, but passing blood clots can cause discomfort or pain during urination.

If hematuria is related to a urinary tract infection (UTI), symptoms may include:

  • Frequent urge to urinate (Frequency)
  • Burning sensation while urinating (Dysuria)
  • Urgency to urinate

Back or flank pain may occur when the bleeding originates from the kidneys, often requiring further evaluation to identify renal causes.

Diagnosis of Hematuria (Blood in Urine)

To determine the cause of hematuria, your urologist may recommend a series of tests based on the severity, duration, and associated symptoms. These investigations help identify underlying urinary tract, kidney, or prostate conditions.

  • Complete Urine Examination (CUE): Detects the presence of red blood cells (RBCs) and signs of infection in the urine.
  • Imaging Tests: CT scan, MRI, or ultrasound may be used to locate stones, tumors, or other abnormalities in the kidneys, bladder, or urinary tract.
  • Cystoscopy: A thin scope with a camera is inserted into the bladder to directly visualize the urinary tract and identify possible causes of bleeding.
  • Urine Cytology: Microscopic examination of urine to detect cancerous or abnormal cells, especially in cases of persistent hematuria.
  • Contrast CT (CECT KUB / CT Urogram): Recommended for a detailed evaluation of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to rule out stones or urinary tract malignancies.

Common treatment options include:

  • Antibiotics: Used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) that cause bleeding and irritation.
  • Medications for Enlarged Prostate: Prescribed to reduce prostate size and relieve urinary obstruction in men.

Haematuria - (Blood in Urine)

Blood in urine is a common finding. It affects an estimated 2% to 30% of the adult population.

Treating blood in your urine depends strongly on the actual cause of the haematuria. Your provider will use the information collected from your medical history, physical exam and test results to work with you to find the best treatment.

You shouldn’t ever ignore blood in your urine. It’s important to contact a healthcare provider if you see blood in your urine or if you have other symptoms related to haematuria.

Health care professionals treat hematuria by treating the underlying cause of the haematuria. You may not need treatment if there is no serious condition causing your haematuria.

Researchers have not found that eating, diet, and nutrition play a role in causing or preventing haematuria.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common cause of haematuria. Since the urinary tract is composed of the bladder, ureters, and kidneys, a UTI refers to an infection anywhere in that system. A bladder infection is called cystitis, and a kidney infection is called pyelonephritis
