He has performed hundreds of bladder and kidney surgeries. <\/strong><\/p>\n Blood in the urine can be visible to the eye and may appear as pink or red discoloration of urine. When blood is visible to the eyes, it is called \u2018gross hematuria.\u2019 <\/b>Gross hematuria is easy to spot and diagnose by the color of the urine. The urine can be pink, brownish, or red.<\/p>\n Brown urine<\/strong> can be caused by blood in urine, diet, or certain kidney problems.<\/p>\n It may not be obvious, but you may have a situation when to the eye, the urine looks yellow and fairly normal. Yet under the microscope, one can see many red blood cells in the urine, which can be abnormal. This is what we call \u201cmicroscopic hematuria.\u201d Most commonly, patients are told by their primary care doctor that they have blood in urine, but the urine looks yellow. This is called ‘microscopic hematuria”.<\/b><\/p>\n Another commonly used term is \u201ctrace of blood in the urine.\u201d This is a very non-specific term that can refer to a variety of things. <\/b>It may refer to the finding of red blood cells in urine under a microscope; it can also mean that a \u2018dipstick test\u2019 detects the possible presence of blood. When a dipstick shows ‘blood, it is possible that you may not have any blood in your urine, and that dipstick is a false alarm.<\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, we offer same-day treatment for bloody urine<\/strong>.

These include urine infection (UTI) or kidney infection (pyelonephritis), kidney dysfunction, kidney stones, bladder cancer, kidney cancer. In men, enlarged prostate (BPH) and prostate cancer can cause blood in the urine. In women, cervical and uterine cancer can cause blood to appear in the urine. Occasionally, colon cancer can cause urinary tract bleeding.<\/p>\n If you see blood in urine, you need to schedule an appointment to see a board-certified urologist. Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger<\/a> is a board-certified urologist who specializes in the treatment of blood in urine in New York City. Many but not all patients require a procedure called cystoscopy to look inside the bladder, a CT scan, and urine testing. Additional testing may be necessary depending on the or’s evaluation.<\/p>\n There are 2 tests that are used for the diagnosis of microscopic hematuria, (1) dipstick urinalysis, and (2) microscopic urinalysis.<\/b><\/p>\n It is important to carefully examine the results of urinalysis test to see if it was performed by dipstick or using microscopic evaluation.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Dipstick test is a screening test and,if positive for blood,requires confirmation with microscopic urinalysis<\/span>. <\/b><\/p>\n In general, more than 3-5 red blood cells<\/strong> per high power field on microscopic urinalysis is concerning, especially in people over age 40 and those with risk factors. <\/b>The more red blood cells are visible under the microscope, the higher the chance that there is a significant problem in the urinary tract causing blood to appear in the urine.<\/p>\n Microscopic hematuria is also referred to as:<\/strong><\/p>\n A positive dipstick test for blood in the urine should NOT be called \u2018microscopic hematuria\u2019 unless the test is confirmed using the microscopic examination.<\/b><\/p>\n As a general rule, gross or visible blood in the urine always requires a thorough <\/b>urological evaluation<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span>. <\/b> Care and treatment for hematuria<\/a> depend on the cause of bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n Microscopic hematuria<\/strong> is more common and can be a sign of significant disease or a minor nuisance with no long-term health consequences. However, recent studies show that people with microscopic hematuria without an identified cause are at higher long-term risk for renal insufficiency. It is probably prudent to have a thorough preventive evaluation and management for anyone with persistent microscopic hematuria, even if a cause is not identified. Typically the primary care physician would refer patients with hematuria to a urologist for a full evaluation.<\/p>\n Anatomically, red blood cells in urine can originate from the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and in men, prostate as well. Sometimes, blood in the urine can be a sign of a problem in another part of the body that is affecting the urinary tract. For example, colon cancer and cervical can sometimes cause blood in the urine. Severe sepsis, blood infection, can cause blood in urine through injury of the kidneys.<\/p>\n In the following article, we discuss the common causes of blood in urine or hematuria in men and women.
