The presence of blood cells in the urine, indicating bleeding somewhere in the urinary system.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'kytos' (cell) + 'ouron' (urine). A clinical term developed to describe abnormal cellular findings in urinalysis.
Finding blood cells in urine is like finding a crime scene clue—it tells doctors that bleeding is happening somewhere upstream in the kidneys or bladder, and they must investigate why.
