Most patients have cysts rupture even without provocation. When cysts break, the red blood cells from the blood vessel will go out of body with urine. Cyst bleeding is the main reason of occult blood in urine occurs.

2. The damage of kidney units: the continuous growth of kidney cysts will damage kidney units. Gradually, kidneys will lose its function and the glomerular filtration membrane and the renal tubules will be damaged. When the filtration membrane and the renal tubules are damaged, the red blood cells will filter out, while the renal tubules can not also reabsorb them. Thus, these red blood cells will go out of body with urine.
