Blood in the urine (hematuria)

What is hematuria?

Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine.  Sometimes hematuria is obvious with red or dark coloured urine; sometimes, there may be red blood cells in the urine that cannot be seen but are detected on a urine routine test.

 Causes of Hematuria

 There are several causes of hematuria:
 

  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can lead to hematuria due to inflammation and irritation of the urinary tract lining.
  • Kidney stones, which are solid deposits of minerals and salts, can cause bleeding when they pass through the urinary tract.
  • Trauma or injury to the urinary tract, such as during vigorous exercise or accidents, can result in hematuria.
  • Glomerulonephritis (inflammation in the kidneys)
  • Benign or Cancerous tumors of the urinary system
Symptoms of Hematuria

In most cases, blood in the urine is painless. It can be associated with severe pain or burning with urination in the setting of a UTI or kidney stone.

Diagnosis of Hematuria

Diagnostic tests such as urine analysis, imaging studies (like ultrasound or CT scan), and cystoscopy may be performed to identify the underlying cause of hematuria.

Treatment of Hematuria

Treatment for hematuria focuses on addressing the underlying cause, which may involve antibiotics for UTIs or medications to help pass kidney stones.  In the case of Glomerulonephritis, immunosuppressive medications may be required.

In cases where hematuria is due to more serious conditions like cancer, treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, or other interventions to manage the disease.

I would have given 10 stars to Dr Pallavi. Both me and my wife have been patients of Dr. Pallavi for more than 6 years now. She supported us throughout—before, during, and after our transplant. Dr. Pallavi has been much more than a doctor to both of us, probably a "health mentor" through all these years. While Dr. is excellent from a clinical standpoint, more impressive is her ability to listen to the patient and engage in a very pleasant and positive conversation to ensure that the (already tense) patient is at ease. I have personally seen her nephrology department grow in the hospital. All the best, Doc.............you are doing a wonderful job.
