In
Medicine , is a condition in which the
Oxygen transport
Protein Haemoglobin is found in abnormally high concentrations in the
Urine . The condition is often associated with
Haemolytic Anemia , in which
Red Blood Cell s are destroyed, thereby increasing levels of free
Plasma haemoglobin. The excess haemoglobin is filtered by the
Kidney s, which release it into the urine, giving urine a red colour.
Haemoglobinuria can lead to
Acute Tubular Necrosis and is a common cause of death of multi-traumatic patients recovering on the
ICU .
