PE & Labs: unremarkable
Cystoscopy:

3. Learning Objectives Understand the Initial approach & Evaluation
Differentiate Glomerular vs Extraglomerular causes
Identify the Imaging modality of choice
4. The Evaluation History
Often clues that point to a specific diagnosis
Labs
BMP: evaluate kidney function
U/A: may include urine cytology
Imaging
CTU vs. U/S
Cystoscopy
5. Clues on History Pyuria + Dysuria
UTI vs. Malignancy
Recent URI
Postinfectious GN or IgA nephropathy
Unilateral flank pain ? groin
Obstruction (i.e. calculus, blood clot)
Loin pain-hematuria syndrome
Hesitancy & Dribbling
BPH (inc vasc/new vessels can be fragile)
Cyclic hematuria in women
Endometriosis of the urinary tract
Sterile pyuria
Renal TB
Analgesic nephropathy, Interstitial diseases FHx of renal disease
Hereditary Nephritis, PCKD, Sickle cell disease
Bleeding d/o or Uncontrolled Anticoagulant tx
Shouldnt assume hematuria alone can be explained by chronic warfarin therapy
Medications that might cause nephritis
Recent vigorous exercise or trauma
Exercise-induced hematuria
AA pts: screen for sickle cell ? papillary necrosis & hematuria
Travel or residence in areas endemic for Schistosoma haematobium, or TB
6. Urinalysis Gross Hematuria
Color change doesnt = Degree of Blood Loss
1ml can induce visible color change
Clots = LUTS
Microscopic Hematuria
>2 RBCs per hpf
8. Urine Studies Urine Sediment: RBCs/mL of uncentrifuged urine = Gold Standard for microscopic hematuria
Dipstick: 1-2 RBCs/hpf
Always confirm with microscopic
more false positives 2/2
Semen
Alkaline urine (pH >9)
Contamination w/agents used to clean the perineum
Myoglobinuria
9. Hematuria is a Symptom Inflammation/Infection - prostate or bladder Nephrolithiasis Malignancy kidney or urinary tract BPH
