Understanding Hematuria Causes
There are many potential hematuria causes, ranging from minor to more serious conditions. Common causes include urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, and certain medications.

Start Hematuria Treatment
Treatment for hematuria depends on the underlying cause. Infections are treated with antibiotics; kidney stones may require medication or procedures and more serious conditions, such as kidney disease or tumors, require specialized therapies. The goal is always to address the root cause.
