What is haematuria? Causes, symptoms, and when to seek help
Haematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine. It may be visible to the naked eye (known as macroscopic or visible haematuria) or detected only under a microscope or by urine testing (microscopic or non-visible haematuria). While it can sometimes be harmless, haematuria should always be investigated to rule out more serious causes.
