7. Hematuria

Hematuria is the scientific term for blood in the urine. There are two types of hematuria: microscopic and gross. Microscopic hematuria is when the blood is invisible to the naked eye, whereas gross is when you can see the blood in your urine. When the appearance of blood is due to kidney cysts, it tends to be visible. Your urine may appear pinkish or have a darker, browner tone to it. Blood in the urine can be a sign that the kidney cyst has burst, particularly if it is accompanied by pain.
