hematuria
Red-tinged urine symptom
Hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine.
It may be visible to the eye (gross hematuria) or detectable only under a microscope (microscopic hematuria).
Causes range from urinary tract infections and kidney stones to more serious conditions like bladder cancer.
The doctor ordered further tests after finding hematuria in the routine urinalysis.
