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.
Blood in urine is not always visible. If the amount of blood is small, the urine looks normal. This is called microscopic hematuria because the blood cells are visible only under a microscope. Typically, this is discovered when you have a urine test for some other reason. A trace amount of blood in your urine is normal. The average person with a healthy urinary tract excretes about 1 million red blood cells (RBC) in the urine each day. This amount of blood is not visible. This is not considered hematuria.
