Initial haematuria

When blood comes on commencing urination. It suggests a urethral cause.

Terminal haematuria

When blood comes after passing urine. It suggests a bladder base or prostatic cause.

Key Points for Haematuria

  • Haematuria always requires investigation to exclude an underlying cause.
  • Initial haematuria suggests a urethral cause.
  • Terminal haematuria suggests a bladder base or prostatic cause.
  • Ribbon clots suggest a pelvi-ureteric cause.
  • Renal bleeding can mimic colic due to clots passing down the ureter.

Causes of Haematuria

Important Diagnostic Features of Haematuria

Kidney

Trauma: mild to moderate trauma commonly causes renal bleeding; severe injuries may not bleed (avulsed kidney- complete disruption).

KEY INVESTIGATIONS for Haematuria

Full Blood Count (FBC): infection, chronic blood loss. ‘Rouleaux’ suggest glomerulonephritis.

Clotting: exclude underlying bleeding cause.

Creatinine, Urea and electrolytes (U+E): renal function.

Microscopic study of urine, microbe culture and sensitivity (MSU MC + S): infection, parasites.

Renal cause: Intravenous pyelography (IVU), CT scan or Renal ultrasound (U/S) Renal Angiography for Arterio-Venous Malformation (AVM)

Bladder cause: Cystoscopy, Renal U/S

Glomerulonephritis: Autoimmune screen, Renal Biopsy (Bx)
