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.

Famous quotes containing the word march:
“The next thing his Lordship does, after clearing of the coast, is the dividing of his forces, as he calls them, into two squadrons, one of places of Scriptures, the other of reasons....
All that I have to say touching this, is that I observe a great part of those his forces do look and march another way, and some of them fight amongst themselves.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
