What is hematuria?

Hematuria (hee-muh-TOOR-ee-uh) means having blood in your urine. There are two kinds of hematuria:

  • Macroscopic hematuria: when you can see the blood in your urine. Your urine may look red or brown. Also called macrohematuria.
  • Microscopic hematuria: when you have blood cells in your urine that can only be seen under a microscope. With this kind, your urine will look normal. Also called microhematuria.
