N02: Recurrent and persistent haematuria

Recurrent and persistent haematuria refers to a group of conditions characterized by repeated or ongoing presence of blood in the urine. This is typically an indicator of an underlying condition affecting the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Common issues that can cause this blood presence include kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and some types of kidney diseases. Symptoms of these conditions can include bloody or pink-colored urine, frequent urge to urinate, and potentially pain during urination. Over time, these conditions can potentially worsen if not addressed, leading to increased pain, decreased kidney function or even failure, and other complications. Understanding the underlying causes and initiating appropriate treatment is essential to mitigate these risks and manage the symptom of haematuria.
