Haematuria


Haematuria is the passage of red blood cells in the urine. Care must be taken to distinguish it from other causes of discoloration of urine. All patients with haematuria must be fully investigated. If haematuria has initially been diagnosed on dipstick testing, it must always be confirmed by microscopy.
