    Don't panic when you see red urine, because red urine does not necessarily mean blood. There are many foods and drugs that can affect the color of urine, such as beets, anti-tuberculosis drugs, certain laxatives, etc. So if the color of your urine is red, don’t panic. Think first about whether you have taken any special food or medicine recently.

    First of all, the most famous hematuria caused by kidney problems is glomerular disease. Most people often have no other symptoms at the beginning, but if you use a microscope for careful observation, you can find deformation of red blood cells, and the prognosis can be good or bad.

    Secondly, such as kidney stones, kidney tumors, kidney injuries (such as car accidents), kidney inflammation, and infection are also possible. However, patients with the above diseases often have backache or pain.

    In the ureters, bladder and urethra, the common cause is stones. In addition to hematuria, ureteral stones can cause severe low back pain, and some may even cause ureteral stones to reach the rat stream. The pain can make a normally brave man unbearable and cause him to roll over in bed.

    For bladder stones, the stone rolls inside the bladder, sometimes blocking the hole and sometimes leaving the hole, so urination may be interrupted. In addition to stones, tumors, injuries, and inflammation may cause hematuria.

    There are many reasons for blood in the urine, including kidney and urinary tract problems. It can be trivial, but it can also be fatal or develop into a major problem such as uremia. Therefore, if you find blood in your urine, do not ignore it. You must consult a nephrologist or urologist for further examination before you can get appropriate treatment.
