An Approach to Hematuria

[@Munieq]

You are AWESOME! Hematuria was always a confusing differential for me, now everything seems to have fallen into place. Thank you!!

[@dmmice2344]

I have gross hematuria due to kidney stones and having stents put in both kidneys because I have stones in both kidneys. I was hospitalized about a month ago because one of the stones got stuck in the ureter causing a blockage and an infection which led to sepsis. I was told if I waited 12 more hours I wouldn’t be here today. It was a real scary situation that changed my life quite a bit. I have to go for surgery to get the stones taken out I hope I will be okay!

[@emq1455]

Hope you're okay now.

Easy, clear, and informative approach, Brilliant!. Thank you doctor

Thanks! My mother has had hematuria for over a year. Her presumptive diagnosis has been “blood thinners” and although she’s on Apixiban (which does not require INR), I’ve told her that isn’t a diagnosis unless they actually prove that her INR is supratherapeutic. Anyhow, I forwarded your video to her so she can see that blood thinners isn’t even in your differential. Hoping she’ll seek a second opinion.

Sadly the textbooks do refer to this, even with blood thinners, patients with risk factors (age) should be evaluated further Hope she's doing well!

Thank you for the great synthesis! 🍀🙏 I find it difficult to make a diagnosis from a single physical exam finding or symptom. The approach of thinking retrospectively I mean.

Gross hematuria is an understatement of what I have. I pee big clots of what I've been told is coagulated blood but it looks more like chunks of my kidney....very meaty. I do have kidney cancer and I've had an embolization on my kidney to stop the bleeding but it's made everything much worse .

[@karenishness1]

I had that and was passing kidneystones. When I adhered to a strict plant based diet with no coffee or tea and a gallon of distilled water a day it all went away. Fresh green coconut water eased the cold sweats and spasms. No more pain.

@@karenishness1 Hi Did u urinate blood nd wht did u use plse

[@karenishness1]

@@aishaadams9975 For years while I was eating meat and drinking coffee, tea, and alcohol, I would pee meaty chunks like this lady says, and it was hellishly painful. The doctors put me on septra and bactrim but it always came back. Like I said, eating a whole plant diet and drinking a gallon of distilled water a day made it leave and also my capacity to hold urine doubled. Which means calcification left.

[@Cork_UO]

I have had microscopic hematuria for decades. It comes and goes and they have never found a cause for it. My new Urologist wants to possibly do another cystoscopy since it's been 15+ years since my last one. I really don't want to have that again because my first urologist was an asshole and it hurt.

[@sandraredmond4812]

I had one and it did not hurt at all. Quick and easy

[@karenishness1]

I drank a gallon of distilled waters a day and went fruitarian. No coffee or tea. Problem gone for years.

[@MSDOGS1976]

Six months ago I had a UTI with a little visible blood and antibiotics cleared it all up. But due to my senior status they did an in office scope and also got a ct scan. Both showed thickened walls with inflamed looking veins. So the dr prescribed more antibiotics and said lets look at it again in 6 months. Just so happens I passed more blood right before my appt. So he scheduled another scope this time in the hospital for a biopsy. Many years ago my liver enzymes went out the roof and I was diagnosed with an autoimmune problem and prednisone cleared it up. My urologist said it could be something similar with my bladder but cancer is always possible. So in a couple of weeks I get to go through this ordeal. I hope it's not the big C.

[@Mr_3raqi]

Could you update us on what happened next please? What was the cause? Hope it's not the big C

[@MSDOGS1976]

@@Mr_3raqi It ended up being cancer but a 'low grade' type that was non-invasive. I received 6 weeks of BCG Imunnothearpy which is supposed to be highly effective with this type of cancer. I've had 2 scopes since and both look clear of the cancer. So hopefully no more treatments but will have many more scopes for observation purposes over the next few years. But my urologist feels good about my case and I feel very fortunate to this point too. Thanks for asking.

So gross hematuris is the one most likely due to cancer...I have the microscopic hematuria

[@StrongMed]

Yes, that's correct. However, microscopic hematuria should still be evaluated with a physician (which might only include a repeat UA in 4-6 weeks if the patient has no risk factors for cancer).

[@ellenbaker3782]

Scenario question for you.. (I come across this quite a bit.) Patients who present to urgent care for UTI symptoms, UA looks like a UTI, but then culture comes back negative... I'm understanding that at that point you would look at the patient's risk factors to determine whether they need cyscoscopy. Would bring a 45 year old female be enough of a risk factor? (Age) If not, what about a 45-year-old female who has had pelvic irradiation (xrays of her hips)? A male with no other risk factors? Thanks in advance!

[@tammys8547]

Yes! Same questions! An answer would be greatly appreciated!

[@utkarshdubeyingoogleplus]

Culture negative UTI are generally seen due to abuse of antibiotics

Blood from urethra is it haematuria or not ? In France it seems like urethra bleeding is not hematuria.. Any comments?

I can't comment on difference in word usage between countries, but in the US, blood in the urine that was believed to be caused by urethral bleeding would definitely still be called hematuria.
