Hematuria (Blood in Urine)

Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine, which can be visible to the naked eye (gross hematuria) or detected only under a microscope (microscopic hematuria). At Family Care Health Center, we specialize in diagnosing and managing hematuria to identify underlying causes and ensure optimal kidney health.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Infections in the bladder, urethra, or kidneys can lead to inflammation and blood in the urine.
Kidney Stones: Sharp crystals or stones in the kidneys or urinary tract can cause irritation and bleeding.
Urinary Tract Trauma: Injury to the kidneys, bladder, or ureters due to accidents or medical procedures.
Enlarged Prostate: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men can obstruct urine flow and cause bleeding.
Kidney Diseases: Conditions like glomerulonephritis or polycystic kidney disease can damage kidney filters and lead to blood leakage.
Cancers: Tumors in the urinary tract, including kidney, bladder, or prostate cancers, can cause hematuria.
