Hint: Red blood cell carries oxygen and haemoglobin in it. Haemoglobin permits the oxygen to transport. Haemoglobin also gives the red colour to the cell. They are also called erythrocytes.

Complete Answer:
- The presence of red blood cells in the urine is called hematuria. It may be idiopathic and begins when there is a kidney stone or a tumor in the urinary tract ranging from trivial to lethal. If white blood cells are found in addition to red blood cells, then it is a signal of urinary tract infection.
- Two types of hematuria are present in the blood cell. one is called ross hematuria in which blood is present in the urine while the other is called microscopic hematuria in which the person can not see the blood in urine.

Some symptoms a person should notice if they have a condition causing RBC in the urine include:
- Urine that looks pink, red, or the color of tea
- Frequent urination
- Pain or difficulty during urinating
- Pain in the stomach or back
- Swollen feet, legs, or ankles

Note: A urinalysis is a test of urine which simply analyzes the urine. It is a very common test that can be performed in many health care settings, including doctors' offices, urgent care facilities, laboratories, hospitals, and even at home.
