Hematuria

Abstract: Hematuria occurs in approximately 1.5% of children. It is important in evaluating the patient who has hematuria to make sure that a positive dipstick test is accompanied by RBCs on the microscopic examination. Hematuria is defined by several parameters, the most common of which are 6 cells/cc of urine in a counting chamber or 2 cells per high-power field in a urinary sediment. Although the differential diagnosis for hematuria is extensive, the most important differentiating feature is the presence or absence o… Show more

“…4 There is still no consensus on the definition of microhematuria, although more than 5e10 RBCs/hpf is usually considered significant. 5,6 Some authors recommend that at least two of three urinalyses indicate microhematuria over a period of 2e3 weeks before performing further evaluations.…”

“…One strategy seen is to identify the patient who presents with hematuria and, from there, follow an algorithm of specific investigations that, hopefully, will lead to a diagnosis and/or management plan [1][2][3].

“…Another tactic utilized in the literature is an attempt to educate or refresh the knowledge of the primary care physician concerning the vast array of diseases where hematuria may be part of the clinical presentation [1][2][3][9][10][11]. While an understanding of the more-common conditions or diseases associated with hematuria seems a reasonable goal, it appears unrealistic for the primary care physician to be sufficiently knowledgeable or to have the requisite experience to deal with the myriad of potential etiologies of hematuria.…”
