    Hematuria

    HEMATURIA

     

    Gross hematuria is blood in the urine seen by the naked eye. Microscopic hematuria is the presence of 5 or more red blood cells per high power field (RBC / hpf ) as seen under the microscope. The most common causes for the presence of blood in urine are infection, stones and /or tumors. The appropriate investigation for the cause of hematuria or blood in the urine is vital to the appropriate management of the problem.

    Urinary Tract Infections are treated accordingly with antibiotics and correction of any underlying problem. Tumors are identified, investigated, staged and treated accordingly.
