Microscopic hematuria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microscopic hematuria is a medical condition in which urine contains small amounts of blood. Blood quantity is too low to change the color of the urine (otherwise, it is known as frank hematuria). While not dangerous in itself, it can be a symptom of a chronic kidney disease, such as IgA nephropathy, which should be monitored by a doctor.
