Asymptomatic Microscopic Hematuria: Work-Up and Treatment
Rohan Shahani, MD, MSc, FRCSC; and Edward D. Matsumoto, MD, MEd, FRCSC
Blood in the urine (hematuria) can originate from anywhere in the urinary tract or may be due to pathology outside the urinary tract and may be either gross or microscopic. The prevalence of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria (AMH) is 0.19% to 16.1%. Dr. Shahani and Dr. Matsumoto discuss the work-up and treatment of AMH, as well as when to refer to a nephrologist.
