Red blood cells appear in the urine
Surface Forms
Morphology
hematuria = hema + uria
The word is built from Greek medical combining forms ('hema-' = blood, '-uria' = urine condition) that are not productive or easily recognized by average B1 learners, so the meaning cannot be reliably derived from the parts.
Etymology
Hematuria comes from Greek parts haima 'blood' and -uria 'urine', and the hem- part also appears in words like hemorrhage meaning 'bleeding'. So, Hematuria means 'blood in the urine' and is used when doctors find blood in someone's urine.
