March hemoglobinuria, also known as march hematuria, occurs when blood is seen in the urine after repetitive impacts on the body, particularly affecting the feet (such as running on a hard road or Kendo) and hands (e.g. Conga or Candombe drumming). The word "march" is in reference to the condition arising in soldiers who have been marching for long periods; the condition was first documented in 1881.
