Hematuria


 
Hematuria means blood in the urine. Blood cells can be detected in urine samples even if the patient does not see blood while urinating. Hematuria can be a symptom of a urinary tract infection, a kidney stone, or a more serious medical problem such as kidney or bladder cancer. If white blood cells also are found in the urine, infection is suspected. Kidney stones usually cause intense pain.
