Excerpt

Hematuria is blood in the urine. Hematuria is termed gross, or macroscopic, when there is sufficient blood present to color the urine red or brown. Hematuria is termed microscopic when the urine is visually normal in color but is found to contain blood on chemical analysis or microscopic evaluation.
