Hematuria Total

Total hematuria (lat. h. totalis) is a condition in which the urine contains a large number of red blood cells. With total hematuria, the urine becomes bright red due to the high concentration of red blood cells.

Total hematuria can be a symptom of serious diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract, such as kidney and bladder tumors, kidney and ureter stones, and inflammatory diseases.

To identify the cause of total hematuria, it is necessary to conduct an examination, which includes a urine test, ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder, cystoscopy, CT or MRI of the urinary system.

Treatment of total hematuria depends on the identified cause. Surgery, drug therapy, and physical therapy may be needed. It is important to consult a doctor promptly if total hematuria appears, so as not to miss the opportunity for effective treatment.
