Haematuria may be caused by local or systemic disease.
'''Systemic disease''' is rare, but includes bleeding disorders such as thrombocytopoenia, platelet dysfunction (von Willebrand's disease), defects in the coagulation cascade or bleeding due to toxins ([[Lead Poisoning|lead toxicity]]). There will usually be evidence of bleeding from other areas.

'''Local disease''' is much more common and haemorrhage can occur at all levels of the urinary and reproductive tract, leading to haematuria.
