Blood in your urine can be concerning. While the reason is often innocuous, blood in the urine (hematuria) can signify a dangerous condition. The presence of blood in a person’s urine is known as hematuria. Gross hematuria occurs when a person can see blood in his or her urine, while microscopic hematuria occurs when a person cannot see blood in his or her urine but can see it under a microscope. The presence of red blood cells indicates gross hematuria, which results in pink, red, or cola-colored urine. Red pee requires very little blood, and the bleeding is frequently painless. However, passing blood clots in your urine might be painful. Bloody urine can develop without any other symptoms or indicators.<\/p>\n

If you see blood in your urine, make an appointment with your doctor. Your urine may turn red if you take certain medications, such as the laxative Ex-lax, or eat specific foods, such as beets, rhubarb, or berries.<\/p>\n

A change in urine color caused by medicines, food, or exercise may be temporary, but read on to find out more about what causes it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Urinary Tract Infections<\/h2>\n

A urinary tract infection (UTI) affects any component of your urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most infections affect the bladder and urethra in the lower urinary system. Women are more likely than men to have a urinary tract infection. A bladder infection can be both painful and unpleasant. If a UTI spreads to your kidneys, though, it might have significant implications. Antibiotics are commonly used to treat urinary tract infections. However, you may take precautions to avoid acquiring a UTI in the first place.<\/p>\n

Bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply in the bladder, resulting in urinary tract infections. Despite the fact that the urinary system is designed to keep such small invaders out, these defenses occasionally fail. Bacteria may take root and grow into a full-blown infection in the urinary tract if this happens. The bladder and urethra are the most prevalent sites for UTIs in women.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Kidney Infections<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Ezra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pyelonephritis (kidney infection) is a form of urinary tract infection (UTI) that starts in the urethra or bladder and spreads to one or both kidneys.A kidney infection necessitates immediate medical assistance. A kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or travel to your bloodstream and create a life-threatening illness if not treated properly. Hospitalization may be required for kidney infection therapy, which usually involves antibiotics.<\/p>\n

Bacteria can multiply and move to your kidneys if they enter your urinary tract through the tube that transports urine from your body (urethra). Kidney infections are most commonly caused by this. Bacteria from an illness elsewhere in your body can potentially move to your kidneys through your bloodstream. Although developing a kidney infection is uncommon, it can happen if you have an infected prosthetic joint or heart valve, for example. Kidney infection occurs seldom after kidney surgery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Kidney or Bladder Stones<\/h2>\n
\"\"
News Medical<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Renal calculi, nephrolithiasis, and urolithiasis are all terms for hard deposits of minerals and salts that occur inside your kidneys. Kidney stones can be caused by a variety of factors, including diet, obesity, certain medical conditions, and certain supplements and drugs. From your kidneys to your bladder, kidney stones can harm any component of your urinary tract. When urine becomes concentrated, minerals crystallize and bind together, resulting in stones. Kidney stones can be quite painful to pass, but if caught early enough, they usually do not cause permanent damage. To clear a kidney stone, you may only need to take pain medication and drink plenty of water, depending on your circumstances.<\/p>\n

Although various variables may increase your risk of kidney stones, there is rarely a single cause. Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances than the fluid in your urine can dilute, such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. At the same time, your urine may be deficient in chemicals that prevent crystals from sticking together, allowing kidney stones to form.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Enlarged Prostate<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Cleveland Clinic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As men age, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), often known as prostate gland enlargement, becomes more common. An enlarged prostate gland can produce unpleasant urinary symptoms including stopping urine from leaving the bladder. It can also create difficulties with the bladder, urinary tract, or kidneys. Prostate gland enlargement can be treated with a variety of options, including medicines, minimally invasive therapy, and surgery. You and your doctor will evaluate your symptoms, the size of your prostate, any other health concerns you may have, and your preferences while deciding on the best alternative.<\/p>\n

The prostate gland is found below the bladder. The urethra (tube that takes urine from the bladder out of the penis) goes through the prostate’s core. When the prostate grows larger, it blocks urine flow. Most men’s prostates continue to grow throughout their lives. This persistent growth enlarges the prostate in many men, causing urinary discomfort or considerably restricting urine flow. The exact reason for the prostate enlargement is unknown. It could, however, be owing to changes in sex hormone balance as males become older.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Kidney Disease<\/h2>\n
\"\"
News Medical<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chronic kidney disease, commonly known as chronic kidney failure, is characterized by the progressive loss of renal function. Wastes and excess fluids are removed from your blood by your kidneys, which are then excreted in urine. Advanced chronic renal disease can lead to dangerously high amounts of fluid, electrolytes, and wastes in the body. You may have few indications or symptoms in the early stages of chronic renal disease. It’s possible that you won’t discover you have kidney disease until it’s too late.<\/p>\n

Chronic renal disease treatment aims to reduce the course of kidney damage by addressing the underlying cause. However, even if the cause is controlled, kidney damage may progress. Chronic kidney disease develops when a disease or condition inhibits kidney function for months or years, causing kidney damage to worsen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Cancer<\/h2>\n

E-medicine Health<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cancer is a broad term that describes a variety of disorders characterized by the uncontrollable division of aberrant cells that can invade and destroy normal human tissue. Cancer has the potential to spread throughout your entire body. Cancer is the world’s second largest cause of death. However, because of advancements in cancer detection, therapy, and prevention, survival rates for many types of cancer are improving. Changes (mutations) in the DNA within cells cause cancer. Each gene in a cell has a collection of instructions that inform the cell what functions to execute as well as how to grow and divide. Errors in the instructions can cause a cell to stop functioning normally and even cause it to become malignant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Inherited Disorders<\/h2>\n
\"\"

A genetic condition is an illness caused in part or entirely by a deviation from the usual DNA sequence. A single gene mutation (monogenic disorder), numerous gene mutations (multifactorial inheritance disorder), a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors, or chromosome damage can all cause genetic illnesses (changes in the number or structure of entire chromosomes, the structures that carry genes).<\/p>\n

We are learning that practically all diseases have a hereditary component as we unravel the secrets of the human genome (the whole set of human genes). Some disorders, such as sickle cell disease, are caused by mutations that are inherited from one’s parents and present at birth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Kidney Injury<\/h2>\n
\"\"
RCNi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure (ARF), is a brief period of kidney failure or damage that occurs over a period of hours or days. AKI causes a build-up of waste products in your blood, making it difficult for your kidneys to maintain the proper fluid balance in your body. Other organs, such as the brain, heart, and lungs, can be affected by AKI. Acute kidney injury is common in hospitalized patients, especially in intensive care units, and in the elderly.<\/p>\n

AKI occurs when your kidneys cease working correctly unexpectedly. It can range from modest renal impairment to full kidney failure. It is usually a result of another major illness. It isn’t caused by a physical hit to the kidneys, as the name implies. This sort of kidney disease is most common in older persons who are ill with other disorders that affect the kidneys. AKI must be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Medications<\/h2>\n

Blood thinners are medications that aid in the smooth passage of blood through veins and arteries. They also prevent blood clots from developing or spreading. They’re used to treat some types of heart disease, heart defects, and other illnesses that put you at risk of clotting. They can keep you safe from heart attacks and strokes. They do, however, carry hazards, such as making you bleed more than usual when you cut yourself or causing you to excrete blood in your urine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Strenuous Exercise<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Exercise-induced hematuria can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from generally benign to potentially dangerous. If the urine clears 72 hours after exercise, there is no need to examine further. However, if blood in the urine persists or does not clear after 72 hours, several causes must be addressed. The breakdown products of red blood cells and muscles can occasionally emerge in urine, making the urine seem considerably darker and perhaps mistaking it for blood. The majority of cases of exercise-induced hematuria are caused by the athlete’s hydration condition, as well as the intensity and duration of the activity. Hematuria is more likely to occur during longer and more intensive incidents. Runners, particularly those who run more than 10,000 meters, are the most susceptible. Hematuria can be caused by a traumatic injury such as a direct strike or a fall.<\/p>\n

Remember if you notice any sort of red discoloration in your urine to make an appointment with your healthcare provider as soon as possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
