Haematuria
Dr.B.Balagobi
Introduction
• Presence of RBC/Blood in Urine.
• Just 1 ml of blood can cause a litre of urine to
become red
• Common referral for Urologist
– 2WW Haematuria clinic
• Haematuria
– Visible haematuria(VH):20% will have malignacy
– Non-visible haematuria(NVH):5% risk of cancer
• Symptomatic (s-NVH):LUTS
• Asymptomatic (a-NVH):Incidentally detected
Red Urine
• Myoglobinuria
• Haemoglobinuria
• Beeturia
• Medications
– Rifampicin
– Doxorubicin
Significant haematuria
• Single episode of unexplained VH(>45yrs)
• NVH(>60yers)
– Single episode of s-NVH in absence of UTI.
– Persistent a-NVH (two out of three dipsticks) in the
absence of UTI or other.
• Anti-coagulant and anti-platelet therapy should
not inhibit evaluation of patients with VH or NVH.
Causes for haematuria
• Medical(Nephrology) Vs Surgical(urology) causes
• Painful Vs Painless Haematuria
• Renal Vs Ureter Vs Bladder Vs Prostate Vs Urethra
Causes of Haematuria
Painful
• urinary tract infection
• Urolithiasis/calculus
• Papillary necrosis
– DM,Sickle
cell,Pyelonephritis,NSAID
• Clot colic:?cancer
• Trauma
Painless
• Cancers
– Bladder
– Renal pelvis,Ureter
– Renal
• Benign
– BPH
– GN
– TB
– PCKD
– Warfarin
• Cola-coloured urine
– ?acute glomerulonephritis  Nephrology referral
Focused History
• Exclude pseudohaematuria
– drugs, vegetable dyes, pigments(Hb,Mb)
• Painful/Painless
• Associated symptoms
– LUT,Loin pain,fever,bleeding diathesis
• Passing clots
– large thick clots:non-glomerular bleeding(bladder)
– small, stringy clots (upper tract)
• PMH,PSH
Focused history
• Relation of gross haematuria to urinary stream
– initial stream :Urethra
– Total stream: bladder proper or upper urinary tract
– terminal stream
– bladder neck of prostatic urethra
• Cyclical/monthly haematuria
– Relation to menstruation:endometriosis
• Cancer risk factors
– Smoking,occupation:dye,paint,rubber
– pelvic radiation,cyclophosphamide
• Medications:Clopidogrel,warfarin,Apixaban..
Dipstick testing for haematuria
• Haemoglobin, which contains peroxidase,
comes in contact with orthotolidine
– Oxidation reaction Colour change(Blue)
• False positive(presence of oxidizing agents in the urine)
– Povine iodine
– hypochlorite solutions
– After exercise/dehydration
– Hb,Mb
– menstrual blood
• False negatives (presence of reducing agents)
– Vitamin C
UFR
• Always do Urine microscopy after positive
dipstick.
• Dipstick
– ‘trace’ versus ‘1+’
– Trace= insignificant
– significant haematuria = 1+ or greater
• 1-3 RBC/hpf of spun urine is considered
unremarkable.
Investigations
• Dipstick of Urine
• UFR
• MSU:Urine culture
• Renal function:S.Cr,eGFR
• Urine cytology
• US/KUB
• Flexible cystoscopy
• CT/Urogram
Initial Investigations for a patient with
s-NVH and persistent a-NVH
• Exclude UTI and other transient causes
• Measure blood pressure
• Measure plasma creatinine/eGFR
• Measure proteinuria and protein:creatinine
(PCR) or albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) on a
random urine sample
