Urine (fresh centrifuged mid stream
3. Pattern of haematuria
Time:

18. Follow-up OF idiopathic
microscopic hematuria
highriskgroup
• Repeat urinalysis
every 6 months
• Repeat urine
cytology every 6
months
• Repeat cystoscopy
every year
Lowriskgroup
usually followed
with periodic
urinalyses and
urine cytology
19. SCREENING
NO recommendation
for screening of
asymptomatic
hematuria
the prevalence
of undetected,
asymptomatic,
hematuria <2
%
little evidence
that hematuria
is a sensitive
test for
localized
disease
is little
evidence that
ttt results in a
better
prognosis
21. Indication of renal biopsy
• isolated heamaturia, since there is no
specific therapy to any of these
condition.
Biopsy is
not usually
indicated
• progressive disease:
• Increased creatinine
• Increased protein excretion,
• unexplained rise in BP even when
these values is within normal.
Biopsy
should
considered
