Description:

People with sickle cell trait (SCT) may develop hematuria or blood in the urine. While hematuria is often not a cause for major concern, it can be a sign of a serious medical condition and should not be ignored.

Healthcare providers should perform a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine the exact cause of the bleeding. Hematuria can be attributed to SCT only after all other causes have been ruled out.
