Full information
Blood in Urine (Hematuria)
Haematuria is the presence of red blood cells in the urine. In certain cases, referred to as microscopic haematuria, this cannot be detected unless under a microscope. On the other hand, gross haematuria is when the blood can be seen by the naked eye to be present in the urine.
