INTRODUCTION Our information about renal involvement in beta-thalassemia major is limited. Recently, few studies have reported proteinuria, hypercalcuria, phosphaturia, and oversecretion of tubular damage markers; however, hematuria has not yet been meticulously studied in these patients. We investigated hematuria in patients with beta-thalassemia major. MATERIALS AND METHODS Urinalysis was p...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION There are sparse and limited studies on erythrocyte morphology in renal biopsy identifying nephropathic patients among type 2 diabetics. The present study sought to clarify the predictive value of dysmorphic erythrocytes in type 2 diabetics with non-diabetic renal disease and influences on hematuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined 198 patients with type 2 diabetes who und...

Background: Aspirin is the most widely used drug in medicine for cardiovascular and as recently for its role in cancer prevention. Although the risk of bleeding events increased following regular use of aspirin, little is known about the association of aspirin and hematuria. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of regular aspirin use and microscopic hematuria in elderly. Metho...

BACKGROUND Proteinuria and hematuria are both important health issues; however, the nature of the association between these findings and acute kidney injury (AKI) or mortality remains unresolved in critically ill patients. METHODS Proteinuria and hematuria were measured by a dipstick test and scored using a scale ranging from a negative result to 3+ in 1883 patients admitted to the intensive ...

OBJECTIVE The presence of hematuria has been suggested to indicate nondiabetic nephropathy in diabetic patients with proteinuria. However, hematuria is frequently found in patients with biopsy-proven diabetic glomerulosclerosis without nondiabetic nephropathy. Urine microscopy allows discrimination of glomerular hematuria, which is defined as acanthocyturia (urinary excretion of acanthocytes, w...
