What causes chronic microscopic hematuria? The most common causes of microscopic hematuria are urinary tract infection, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and urinary calculi. However, up to 5% of patients with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria are found to have a urinary tract malignancy.
Various problems can cause this leakage, including:
This is called "microscopic hematuria," and it can only be found with a urine test. General urine tests are not used to make a specific diagnosis of bladder cancer because hematuria can be a sign of several other conditions that are not cancer, such as an infection or kidney stones.

Hematuria is blood in the urine. It may be visible or microscopic. It can be caused by a bleeding disorder or certain medications, or by stones, infection, or tumor. It may be due to injury to the kidneys, urinary tract, prostate, or genitals. Having blood in your urine doesn't always mean you have a medical problem.
Hematuria is the presence of blood in a person's urine. Gross hematuria is when a person can see the blood in his or her urine, and microscopic hematuria is when a person cannot see the blood in his or her urine, yet a health care professional can see it under a microscope.

Hematuria is the condition of having blood in your urine (pee). There are two types: gross hematuria (you can actually see the blood) and microscopic hematuria. Microscopic hematuria is known by a shorter name, microhematuria.
Often, there are no symptoms of microhematuria. In that case, we say that the condition is asymptomatic. Your healthcare provider might find it when they order routine tests at a check-up.
Your healthcare provider will ask you questions about your symptoms and about your medical history. For instance, they will ask if you:
Treating microscopic hematuria depends on what causes it. If testing does not demonstrate a cause of microscopic hematuria, treatment may not be necessary and observation may be recommended.” After that, observation may continue.
It may not be possible to prevent microhematuria from happening. However, drinking plenty of fluids, preferably water, is a good thing to do in general. It’s especially helpful when you’re exercising.
If you have symptoms related to microhematuria, such as pain or fever, give your healthcare provider a call or contact them electronically. If any symptom is severe, you may choose to go to an urgent care provider.
Even though having blood in your urine may sound scary, microhematuria doesn’t always mean that something serious is going on. It may clear up on its own, or it may be the result of something that can be treated easily. This is something best determined by working with your healthcare provider.
