Key Points about Haematuria:
- Definition: Haematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine, which can be visible (macroscopic) or detected through microscopy (microscopic). It can be a sign of underlying renal or urinary tract pathology.
- Causes: Common causes include urinary tract infections, kidney stones, trauma, glomerulonephritis, and malignancies such as bladder or kidney cancer.
- Symptoms: The primary symptom is blood in the urine, which may be accompanied by dysuria, abdominal pain, or flank pain, depending on the underlying cause.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis includes a thorough history and physical examination, urinalysis, urine culture, imaging studies (ultrasound or CT), and cystoscopy to identify the source of bleeding.
- Management: Management depends on the underlying cause. For example, infections are treated with antibiotics, while stones may require medical or surgical intervention. Persistent or unexplained haematuria warrants further investigation to rule out malignancy.
- Complications: If not properly managed, complications can include ongoing hematuria, kidney damage, or delayed diagnosis of significant conditions like cancer.
