isolated hematuria and its association with proteinuria, and urinary cast and systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) disease activity, and decision for renal biopsy is a dilemma for physician in sle patients. the aim of this study was to investigate 1. whether isolated hematuria is associated with active sle, 2. to determine duration between hematuria and proteinuria and urinary cast, and 3. to det...

AIM To prevent possible chronic kidney diseases in healthy school- age children by screening for hematuria and proteinuria using a urine strip. METHODS The incidence of hematuria and proteinuria was determined in 1848 healthy school-age children aged 7 to 14 years by urine screening in the eastern region of Turkey in 2008. Cases with persistent hematuria and/or proteinuria were referred to a ...

CONTEXT Few data are available on long-term outcomes among adolescents and young adults with persistent asymptomatic isolated microscopic hematuria. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in adolescents and young adults with persistent asymptomatic isolated microscopic hematuria. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort s...

Previous reviews of hematuria in children and adolescents have included patients with proteinuria and other renal functional abnormalities such as hypertension and reduced GFR. We report the clinico-pathological correlations in 76 pediatric patients, aged 3 to 19 years, who underwent a renal biopsy because of isolated hematuria during the 10-year period, 1972 to 1981. All specimens were examine...

A rare condition in itself, acquired hemophilia A, seldom presents as isolated gross hematuria. It is a serious condition with a high mortality rate and thus clinical suspicion followed by prompt diagnosis is imperative (1). In fact, only 8 cases of such presentation of this condition have been reported thus far in the literature. Of these, none describe the initial presentation of hematuria wi...

Hemangiomas of the urinary bladder are a relatively unusual entity and are seldom described in the literature. They are of clinical importance in that they are one of benign causes of painless hematuria which may create problems concerning diagnosis and management. It may occur as an isolated lesion or in association with cutaneous or visceral arteriovenous malformations. Hemagioma of the urina...

Persistent microscopic hematuria is present in about 6% of the population, but probably only a small minority have hematuria that does not originate from the glomerulus. Careful analysis of phase-contrast urine microscopy by a skilled observer is critically important in the investigation of hematuria. In glomerular disease, urine microscopy often is second only to renal biopsy examination in he...
