142 verified reviewsBlood in urine (haematuria) can come from the kidneys, bladder, ureters or urethra. The common causes are urinary infections, kidney or bladder stones and prostate enlargement - and because it can occasionally signal something more serious, it should always be investigated by a urologist.
Blood you can see - urine appears pink, red, brownish or tea-coloured. This should prompt prompt medical evaluation.
Blood only detectable through laboratory testing - it often goes unnoticed without a urine test, however it deserves the same investigation.
Blood clots blocking your flow, being unable to pass urine at all (a medical emergency), fever and chills, or severe persistent pain in your back, sides or lower abdomen.
Urinary tract infections cause inflammation and bleeding, with pain and frequent urination. Kidney infections add back pain, fever and chills.
Kidney and bladder stones can cause bleeding and significant pain as they move or irritate the bladder wall.
In men, an enlarged prostate can press on the bladder and urethra, leading to blood in the urine and urinary symptoms.
Bladder or kidney cancer, and painful bladder syndrome. Some foods and medications can also discolour urine and mimic haematuria.
