Hematuria
(Blood in Urine)

Blood in your urine or hematuria is a sign that you may have something wrong in your urinary tract, maybe something serious. Blood in urine can come from anywhere in your urinary tract, including your kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. There are two types of hematuria, gross hematuria - visible blood that makes your urine pink, red, brownish red, or tea-colored; or microscopic hematuria - blood only a lab test can find.
