Inquiry must be made about its quantity, its relation to micturition - whether blood appears at the beginning of the act (urethral), towards the end of the act (vesical) or is intimately mixed throughout the process (prerenal, renal or vesical). Whether haematuria is associated with pain or not? Some individuals will pass red urine after eating beets or taking laxatives containing phenolphthalein, in which case the urine is translucent and does not contain red cells. Sometimes children may pass red urine following haemolytic syndromes may also cause the urine to be red.
