Hematuria
Also written as: Blood in Urine, RBCs in Urine
Simple Meaning
Red blood cells in the urine — visible to the eye or only under the microscope.
Where it appears in reports
On urine microscopy as RBC counts per field, or as visibly red urine.
Why it matters
Causes range from infections and stones to, less commonly, conditions needing detailed evaluation. Visible blood in urine always deserves a doctor's review, even if painless and one-time.
Doctor advice needed
Report words describe findings — they are not diagnoses. What "Hematuria" means for you depends on your symptoms, history, and other results. Always review your report with your doctor.
