People having acrophobia show different responses when reaches to some height and can release some chemicals due to which blood in urine can be found. Affiliation of erythrocytes in urine with acrophobia is the particular objective of this study. The existence of erythrocytes in the urine is known as haematuria. It can be non-harmful for the human body or it can affect the urinary system. Fear of height is a term used for acrophobia. Fear from tall building and from steep slopes are the various things that cause fear. Acrophobia is instinct in animals and humans. Total 100 candidates were convoluted in this project. They were students of Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. They were about 18-22 years old. Urine test of every student was performed to check the level of erythrocytes present in the urine. Then blood in urine was correlated with height phobia. It is inferred from the results that height phobia has affiliation with blood in urine.
