    The filtrate from the glomerulus enters the capsule and proceeds to the renal tubules, which reabsorb water and solutes from the filtrate into the circulation and secrete substances from the blood into the urine in order to maintain homeostasis. [3] [4] The first destination is the proximal convoluted tubule.

Digested blood from the upper gastrointestinal tract may appear black rather than red, resulting in "coffee ground" vomit or melena. [2] Other signs and symptoms include feeling tired, dizziness, and pale skin color. [18]

    Blood sometimes mixes with the urine resulting in haemato-chyluria. Usually the condition is self-limiting and can sometimes lead to complications. Symptoms of chyluria can include dysuria (pain when urinating), hematuria (blood in urine), urinary tract infections; and, in more severe cases, weight loss, hypoproteinemia, and immunosuppression.
