The bloody truth about hematuria...

Hematuria is the abnormal presence of blood in the urine. There are two forms: gross (visible to naked eye) or microscopic (diagnosed on microscopic urinalysis). Possible causes of blood in the urine include: kidney stones, urinary tract infections, prostate enlargement, bladder or kidney cancer, side effects of drugs, and more. Treatment for hematuria depends on the underlying cause. Blood in the urine should not be ignored. Access Urology is here to help diagnose and provide treatment options.
