Blood in urine, also known as Hematuria, is in fact a symptom and not a particular condition. Cases of hematuria should be precisely evaluated by the doctor to determine or rule out an underlying cause. Blood in urine can usually come from the kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra
Some of the possible causes of blood in urine include:
• Infections or stones in the bladder or kidney
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia or enlarged prostate
• Prostate cancer
• Tumour in the bladder, kidney, or ureter
• Injury to the kidney due to an accident or sports
• Vigorous exercise
• Consuming blood thinners like Aspirin, Clopidogrel and the like
• Certain kidney diseases such as glomerulonephritis or inflammation that occur in the kidneys’ filtering system
