hemoglobinuria is when the red blood cells in the urine(abnormal) have lysed (ripped open) and there is free haemoglobin in the urine. Haematuria is when the blood cells are intact in the urine. Both colour the urine dark red

Hematuria is the presence of red blood cells in the urine, which can be a sign of kidney or bladder issues. Hemoglobinuria, on the other hand, is the presence of free hemoglobin in the urine, usually due to breakdown of red blood cells outside of the bloodstream. Hemoglobinuria can result from conditions like hemolytic anemia or transfusion reactions.
