HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different possible causes for blood in the urine (hematuria) such as :
(1) trauma to a part of the urinary tract
(2)stones in the urinary tract
(3)infection
(4)blood disorders
(5)cancer
(6) kidney disease
(7)idiopathic- there is no known cause
To determine the cause your doctor would take a careful history to determine if there are symptoms to point to a specific cause.
In addition to physical examination, blood tests and imaging of the kidneys and other parts of the urinary tract may be suggested.
I hope this helps
