Hematuria, known as hematuria or drowned blood in traditional Chinese medicine. Hematuria refers to urine mixed with blood, which is divided into microscopic hematuria and gross hematuria.

Those with excessive heat should clear heat and remove dampness, cool blood and stop bleeding; those with deficiency heat should nourish yin and clear heat, nourish blood and stop bleeding.
