Haematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine. We distinguish between microscopic haematuria or microhaematuria, when the concentration of blood is too low to be macroscopically visible, and macroscopic haematuria, or macrohaematuria (or gross haematuria), where the concentration is so high that the urine is visible coloured red.
Haematuria is usually a sign of kidney or urinary tract pathology, including glomerulonephritis, urinary tract infection, and bladder cancer.
