If You Find Blood in Your Urine - Hematuria. Finding blood in your urine can be a frightening experience. Any time you discover it, it is important to see your doctor. Blood in the urine (hematuria) is a symptom of many diseases and conditions that often require treatment. The good news is that in most cases, cancer is not responsible.
According to the Kidney Cancer Association, hematuria is the most common sign of kidney cancer. If you have blood in your urine, you may see pink, brownish, or even a red discoloration. Often even a small amount of blood can cause a color change. But, sometimes there is such a miniscule amount of blood that only a lab can detect blood during a urinalysis. Other causes of blood in the urine are bladder infection, kidney stone, cysts, or inflammation. If you see blood in your urine, it may be time to see your doctor.
