Hematuria means blood in the urine.

• A. Urinary tract infection
• B. Protein in urine
• C. Blood in the urine
• D. Blood in the stool

Answer: (C)

Hematuria means blood in the urine. The root hemo-/hema- means blood, and -uria means urine, so the term literally describes blood present in the urine. That makes the description of blood in the urine the correct interpretation. The other options point to different things: a urinary tract infection is an infection of the urinary system, protein in the urine is called proteinuria, and blood in the stool is hematochezia.
