What Is Hematuria?

Hematuria means blood in the urine.
Gross hematuria: visible red, pink, or cola-colored urine.
Microscopic hematuria: only detected on urine testing.
Even small amounts of blood should be evaluated — it signals something in the urinary tract needs attention.

Possible Causes of Hematuria

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) – burning, urgency, frequency
Kidney or bladder stones – may cause pain, sometimes silent
Prostate enlargement (BPH)
Prostatitis (prostate inflammation)
Bladder or kidney tumors – benign or cancerous

Kidney disease or glomerulonephritis
Vigorous exercise (temporary)
Medications (blood thinners, some antibiotics)
Trauma to kidneys, bladder, or urethra
Other structural issues (cysts, strictures, congenital)

Why it matters: Even if bleeding stops, a complete workup is essential. Some serious causes (including cancers) can be silent early and are best treated when found early.
