Haematuria is the presence of blood in the urine, a condition that can be broadly classified into two types: microscopic haematuria (blood not visible to the naked eye) and gross haematuria (blood that is visible, making the urine appear pink, red, or cola-colored). Both forms can signify underlying medical conditions that warrant attention.
Microscopic haematuria is often discovered during routine urine tests as the blood is not visible without laboratory analysis.
If you think you may be presenting symptoms of Haematuria, schedule a consult as soon as possible.
Gross haematuria is often alarming as it visibly changes the color of the urine. This type of haematuria is more likely to prompt immediate medical attention.
Regardless of the type of haematuria, a thorough evaluation is essential to identify the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
Both microscopic and gross haematuria can be warning signs of significant health conditions. Early evaluation helps in:
