Common causes of ''macroscopic hematuria/ haematuria'' (i.e. blood visible in the urine) include:
* [[Thin basement membrane disease|Benign familial hematuria]]
* Urinary [[Schistosomiasis]] (caused by ''[[Schistosoma haematobium]]'') - a major cause for hematuria in many African and Middle-Eastern countries;
* [[IgA nephropathy]] ("Berger's disease") - occurs during viral infections in predisposed patients;
* [[Kidney stone]]s (or [[bladder stone]]s, now a rare disease);
* [[Bladder cancer]];
* [[Renal cell carcinoma]] - occasionally presents with bleeding;
* [[Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria]] - a [[rare disease]] where [[hemoglobin]] of [[hemolysis|hemolysed]] cells is passed into the urine.
* [[Urinary tract infection]] with some bacterial species including strains of [[Escherichia coli#Urinary tract infections|EPEC]] and [[Staphylococcus saprophyticus]]
* [[Sickle cell trait]] can precipitate large amounts of red blood cell discharge, but only a small number of individuals endure this problem
* [[Arteriovenous malformation]] of the kidney (rare, but may impress like renal cell carcinoma on scans as both are highly vascular)
* Nephritic syndrome ( a condition associated with post-streptococcal and rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis.
* Ureteral Pelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJ) is a rare condition beginning from birth in which the ureter is blocked between the kidney and bladder.  This condition may cause blood in the urine.<ref>http://www.emoryhealthcare.org/departments/urology/sub_menu/upj.html</ref>
