Definition
The presence of blood in the urine is a sign of various pathological conditions; however, chromatic alterations do not always reflect the presence of particular diseases (dark urine, for example, is a typical symptom of dehydration, while the intake of certain foods such as beetroot and rhubarb, or some drugs, can give the urine a reddish color ). At other times the bleeding is not appreciable with the naked eye and is therefore ascertainable only through microscopic laboratory research.Possible Causes * of Blood in the urine
