Microscopic hematuria is a frequent reason for referral to urology. It is often found incidentally as a result of routine examination in patients without urinary tract symptoms. Although there is generally no debate about the need to fully investigate patients with gross hematuria, there is often controversy regarding the approach to the patient with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria. The main...

In the pediatric population, the majority of etiologies are benign and often asymptomatic. However, hematuria may also be a sign of renal pathology, local infection, or systemic disease. Hematuria can be differentiated int...

gross hematuria or macroscopic hematuria is a high risk urologic condition that might occur in different settings. in the case of continued gross hematuria, blood clot size may grow and lead to complete obstruction of urinary outflow. placement of three-way catheter, continuous bladder irrigation with normal saline, and cystoscopy are conventional treatments. here we introduce a case with urina...

Although routine screening for bladder cancer is not recommended, microscopic hematuria is often incidentally discovered by primary care physicians. The American Urological Association has published an updated guideline for the management of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria, which is defined as the presence of three or more red blood cells per high-power field visible in a properly collected ...

INTRODUCTION Urolithiasis is a common medical condition that accounts for a large number of emergency department (ED) visits each year and contributes significantly to annual healthcare costs.

. frequent macroscopic hematuria in multiple myeloma is quite rare and exceptional and no report has been found in the literature. we have presented a case of multiple myeloma who developed frequent episodes of gross hematuria during her long lasting but slowly progressing course of the disease

BACKGROUND Whether persistent hematuria in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) during clinical remission reflects active disease or chronic glomerular injury is uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the significance of persistent hematuria during clinical remission in a large cohort of AAV patients. METHODS A cohort of 219 AAV patients in ...
