Gross hematuria is often alarming and will prompt the patient to seek medical attention. Likewise, the office practitioner may be faced with the incidental finding of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria. Patient characteristics and the clinical presentation will help guide the clinician in proper evaluation and diagnosis. Definition Prevalence Pathophysiology Signs and ... References National Guidelines Asymptomatic Microscopic Hematuria in Adults: Summary of the AUA Best Practice Policy Recommendations DEFINITION Hematuria is defined as the abnormal presence of red blood cells (RBCs) in the urine and is commonly divided into gross and microscopic hematuria. Gross, or visible hematuria can result from as little as 1 cc of blood in a liter of urine, and therefore, the color does not reflect the degree of blood loss. Also, numerous other substances can induce such a color change and will be discussed further in the

WANG, M.D. Valley Urology Center, Renton, Washington A patient information handout on microscopic hematuria, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1154. M icroscopic hematuria is defined as the excretion of more than three red blood cells per high-power field in a centrifuged urine specimen. Because the degree of hematuria bears no relation to the seriousness of the underlying cause, hematuria should be considered a symptom of serious disease until proved otherwise. Microscopic hematuria is defined as the excretion of more than three erythrocytes per high-power field, but the degree of hematuria does not correlate with the seriousness of the underlying cause of the bleeding. The widespread use of dipstick urinalysis in clinical practice and health screening has resulted in increased recognition of microscopic hematuria and has raised concerns about the appropriate diagnostic investigation. The prevalence of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria in adult men and postmenopausal women has been reported to range from 10 percent to as high as 20 percent. Routine screening of all adults for microscopic hematuria with dipstick testing is not currently recommended because of the intermittent occurrence of this finding and the low incidence of significant associated urologic disease.

B lood in the urine (hematuria) can originate from any site along the urinary tract and, whether gross or microscopic, may be a sign of serious underlying disease, including malignancy. The literature agrees that gross hematuria warrants a thorough diagnostic evaluation. By contrast, microscopic hematuria is an incidental finding, and whether physicians should test for hematuria in asymptomatic patients remains at issue. No major organization currently recommends screening for microscopic hematuria in asymptomatic adults, even though bladder cancer is the most commonly detected malignancy in such patients.

Hematuria means blood in the urine. Microscopic hematuria indicates that the blood is only seen when the urine is examined under a microscope, while gross hematuria means that there is enough blood in the urine so that it can be seen with the naked eye. Despite the quantity of blood in the urine being different, the types of diagnoses that can cause the problem are the same, and the workup or evaluation that is needed is identical. Since blood in the urine must come from one of the organs involved in making or transporting the urine, the evaluation of hematuria requires that we consider the entire urinary tract. This organ system includes the kidneys, ureter (the tube that carries the urine from the kidney to the bladder), bladder, prostate, or urethra (tube leading out of the bladder). It must be emphasized that even a single episode of hematuria requires evaluation, even if it resolves spontaneously. What are the causes of hematuria?

Hematuria is the presence of red blood cells (RBCs) in the urine. In microscopic hematuria, the urine appears normal to the naked eye, but examination under a microscope shows a high number of RBCs. Gross hematuria can be seen with the naked eyethe urine is red or the color of cola. Several conditions can cause hematuria, most of them not serious. For example, exercise may cause hematuria that goes away in 24 hours. Many people have hematuria without any other related problems. Often no specific cause can be found. But because hematuria may be the result of a tumor or other serious problem, a doctor should be consulted. To find the cause of hematuria, or to rule out certain causes, the doctor may order a series of tests, including urinalysis, blood tests, intravenous pyelogram, and cystoscopic examination. Urinalysis is the examination of urine for various cells and chemicals. In addition to finding RBCs, the doctor may find white blood cells that signal a urinary tract infection or casts (groups of cells molded together in the shape of the kidneys' tiny filtering tubes) that signal kidney disease. Excessive protein in the urine also signals kidney disease.

If there are enough red cells, the appearance of the urine can change, and can be bright red, pink or cola colored. Often, however, it appears completely normal because there is not enough blood to cause a color change. The condition is called "microscopic" hematuria if the urine appears normal but a laboratory examination shows the presence of red blood cells. There are many possible causes of hematuria, including:

This could be the first sign of a serious condition. In order to help your doctor with the correct diagnosis, you may try to provide details such as: Was it associated with pain? Did you see blood clots? What shape did the clots have? The color of the blood (brown, cherry, bright red, pink or orange) At what time during urination did you see blood in the urine (beginning or end of stream or during entire stream)? When passing blood in urine is associated with pain, especially abdominal pain, it could be associated with kidney or ureteral stones. The pain could be localized to the back, to the side, to the groin, or the penis in men and the labia in women. If you are passing different-shaped clots in your stream, they could represent bleeding from the urethra or prostate (in men). Clots can be wormlike, and if associated with pain it could represent clots coming from your ureters(tubes from your kidneys to your bladder). The color of the urine can be also affected by certain foods or medications. However, you should always consult your doctor if this develops.
