Gross hematuria. - Blood that can be seen in the urine\u003cbr\u003e2. Microscopic hematuria - Blood that cannot be seen in the urine, except when examined with a microscope,.\u003cbr\u003eRed discoloration of the urine can have various causes:\u003cbr\u003e1. Red blood cells\u003cbr\u003eMicroscopic hematuria (small amounts of blood, can be seen only on urinalysis or light microscopy)\u003cbr\u003eMacroscopic hematuria (or \"frank\" or \"gross\") hematuria\u003cbr\u003e2. Hemoglobin (only the red pigment, not the red blood cells)\u003cbr\u003e3. Myoglobin in myoglobulinuria\u003cbr\u003e4. Porphyrin in porphyria\u003cbr\u003e5. Betanin after eating beets\u003cbr\u003e6. Drugs such as Rifampicin and Phenazopyrine\u003cbr\u003eDiagnosis of Blood in the Urine:\u003cbr\u003eMost people with microscopic hematuria do not have symptoms.\u003cbr\u003ePeople with gross hematuria have urine that is pink, red, or cola-colored due to the presence of red blood cells (RBCs).\u003cbr\u003eEven a small amount of blood in the urine can cause urine to change color.\u003cbr\u003eIn most cases, people with gross hematuria do not have other symptoms.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, people with gross hematuria that includes blood clots in the urine may have pain.\u003cbr\u003eThe urinary system is made up of:\u003cbr\u003e1. 2 Kidneys\u003cbr\u003e2. 2 Ureters\u003cbr\u003e3. Bladder\u003cbr\u003e4. Urethra\u003cbr\u003eThe normal urinary system has one goal only and that is to filter the 200 liters of blood so that its waste material is discharged through the outside though the 2 kidneys as 1.5 liters of urine and its distributing system of 2 ureters to the bladder.\u003cbr\u003eThe bladder stores urine until releasing it through urination.\u003cbr\u003eWhen the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra at the bottom of the bladder.\u003cbr\u003eMild Hematuria can be caused by:\u003cbr\u003e1. Menstruation,\u003cbr\u003e2. Vigorous exercise,\u003cbr\u003e3. Sexual activity,\u003cbr\u003e4. Viral illness,\u003cbr\u003e5. Trauma,\u003cbr\u003e6. Infection, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI).\u003cbr\u003eMore serious causes of hematuria include\u003cbr\u003e1. Ureteric or kidney or bladder stones\u003cbr\u003e2. Cancer of the kidney or bladder\u003cbr\u003e3. Inflammation of the kidney, urethra, bladder, or prostate—a walnut-shaped gland in men that surrounds the urethra at the neck of the bladder and supplies fluid that goes into semen\u003cbr\u003e4. Polycystic kidney disease—an inherited disorder characterized by many grape-like clusters of fluid-filled cysts that make both kidneys larger over time, taking over and destroying working kidney tissue\u003cbr\u003eSome causes of blood clots in urine:\u003cbr\u003e1. Blood clotting disorders, such as hemophilia\u003cbr\u003e2. Sickle cell disease—an inherited disorder in which RBCs form an abnormal crescent shape, resulting in less oxygen delivered to the body’s tissues, clogging of small blood vessels, and disruption of healthy blood flow\u003cbr\u003eHematuria is diagnosed with:\u003cbr\u003e1. Urinalysis\u003cbr\u003e2. Blood kidney function\u003cbr\u003e3. Biopsy\u003cbr\u003e4. Cystoscopy\u003cbr\u003e5. Kidney imaging tests\u003cbr\u003eHematuria is treated by treating its underlying cause.\u003cbr\u003eIf no serious condition is causing hematuria, no treatment is needed.\u003cbr\u003eHematuria caused by a UTI is treated with antibiotics.\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENT\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Hematuria\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 Disease Diagnosis\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 Kidney Stone\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 Cystitis\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 Cancer of Kidney\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 Cancer of Bladder\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 Glomerulonephritis\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 Polycystic Kidneys\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 Hemophilia\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenneth Kee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111176945904,"sku":"2940153865737","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940153865737_p0.jpg?v=1764058492","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940153865737","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
