N: 1. New Latin. The first known use of hematuria was circa 1811.

  • variants or chiefly British haematuria.
  • the presence of blood or blood cells in the urine.

2. hematuria. Also known as: haematuria.

  • hematuria, presence of blood in the urine, an indication of injury or disease of the kidney or some other structure of the urinary tract; in males blood in the urine can also come from the reproductive tract. The blood may become apparent during urination or only upon microscopic examination. Rarely, blood may appear in the urine in the absence of genito-urinary disease. Such instances may result from transfusion of incompatible blood, from severe burns, from abnormal blood conditions in which the red blood cells are broken down, or from blackwater fever (a complication of malaria).

3. Symptoms (Medicine): hematuria, haematuria.

  • The presence of blood in the urine.

  • Hematuria may be macroscopic (red in color) or microscopic (more than two to three cells per high-power field in a button of sediment over a 12-ml spun urine sample). While the quantitative count of microscopic hematuria is of little or no value, it is important to differentiate between glomerular hematuria, renal nonglomerular hematuria, and extrarenal causes of hematuria

4. Cultural Interrelation: We can mention the book Hematuria: Etiology, Management and Long-Term Prognosis (Renal and Urologic Disorders) written by by Nikhil Vasdev (Editor), G. Boustead (Editor) in 2014.
