Blood in the Urine (cont.)

When to Seek Medical Care

Any time you have blood in the urine or other symptoms of urinary tract disease, you should contact your health-care provider. If you cannot get in touch with your provider and your symptoms are severe or worsening, go to a hospital emergency department.

Any time you have the combination of blood in the urine, fever, and flank pain, you should seek emergency medical care, because this may represent a severe infection in your kidney.
