What is hematuria?

Excessive urination
Blood in urine
Painful urination
Inability to urinate

The correct answer is: Blood in urine

Hematuria refers specifically to the presence of blood in the urine. This condition can indicate a range of underlying medical issues, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or more serious conditions such as kidney disease or cancer. Identifying hematuria is crucial for diagnosis and treatment, as it often requires further investigation to understand the underlying cause. The other options refer to different urinary symptoms: excessive urination indicates polyuria, painful urination refers to dysuria, and the inability to urinate describes urinary retention. Each of these conditions has distinct implications that differ from the presence of blood in the urine.
