Haematuria (Blood in the urine)

Haematuria (Blood in the urine) - What it is

Blood in your urine is termed haematuria. Haematuria may be visible to the naked eye or detectable only on examination of the urine sediment by microscopy (non visible). The source of blood in the urine can come from anywhere along the entire course of the urinary tract.

Hematuria can be a sign of a more serious underlying medical condition. You should consult your family physician or book an appointment to see one of our specialists.
