Blood in the urine (hematuria) should be
taken very seriously. Infections and
tumors of the urinary tract can cause
hematuria. Blood and urine analyses and
abdominal ultrasound scan can provide more
information about your health condition. A
cystoscopy can be performed later, if
necessary. You can go to your doctor to
request these diagnostics.
