Question

Assertion (A): Haematuria is the condition in which the blood passes with urine due to some infection in the urinary tract, kidney stones or tumour.

Reason (R): An excessive number of RBCs and haemoglobin is produced in the bone marrow. So these are excreted out through the urine.

1. A is True and R is False.
2. A is False and R is True.
3. Both A and R are True.
4. Both A and R are False.

Options

• (1)

• (2)

• (3)

• (4)

Answer 1

(1)

Explanation:

Haematuria is the presence of blood or red blood cells in urine. It may occur due to urinary tract infection, kidney stones, injury, or tumours. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is true.

Red blood cells and haemoglobin are not normally excreted in urine simply because they are produced in excess. Their presence in urine usually indicates bleeding or damage somewhere in the urinary system. Therefore, the Reason (R) is false.

Hence, A is true and R is false.
