Normally, there are no red blood cells in the urine. Medically, after centrifuging the patient’s urine, check with a microscope. If there are more than 5 red blood cells in each high power field, it is hematuria. If only red blood cells are detected under a microscope, but the eyes cannot see bloody urine, it is called microscopic hematuria, If the eyes can see blood in the urine, or even bloodshot or blood clot in the urine, it is called gross hematuria.
It is believed that hematuria is mostly caused by the accumulation of heat in the kidneys. Diet therapy should be based on cooling blood and purging fire, nourishing yin and stopping bleeding.
