Blood in the urine (haematuria) can be alarming and may indicate underlying conditions such as stones, infections, kidney disease, or cancers of the bladder, prostate, or kidney. Evaluation usually involves urine analysis, ultrasound, CT scan, and cystoscopy to pinpoint the source. Treatment is targeted at the cause, whether that means stone removal, infection control, or tumour management. Early investigation is crucial, as haematuria can sometimes be the first sign of a serious underlying disease.
