Macroscopic hematuria
May arise from lesions anywhere within the
urinary system, kidney, renal pelvis, ureter,
bladder, urethra
As few as 5 x 10 6 RBC/ml ; 1ul blood/ml urine
can be detected visually as red-coloured urine
Macroscopic hematuria needs to be
distinguished from
Red discolouration of urine caused by certain dyes &
some drugs
Presence of Haem pigment : intravascular hemolysis
(Hb), rhabdomyolysis (myoglobin)
Bleeding from outside the urinary tract; perineum,
vagina
Pyelonephritis/infections
Gastrointestinal disorders;
Fat malabsorption, IBD, small bowel resection & bypass can cause decreased
urinery volumes, hyperoxaluria, hyperuric-aciduria, hypocitrateuria, acidic urine.
Hyperparathyroidism / hypercalcemia
Causes of hypercalcemia (& hypercalciuria) are #
Cancer, immobilization, endocrinopathies, dietary, granulomatous disease, renal, drugs
Vit D increases Ca absorption from intestine
Idiopathic Hypercalciuria.
24h urine[Ca] > 300mg/24h (men), >250mg/24h (women)
Uric acid lithiasis; elevated urinary uric acid (24h urinary uric acid), acid urine;
Gout, myeloproliferative disorders
Treatment: alkalinization of urine to pH 6-7 , fluids, allopurinol
Distal RTA
Alkaline urine, hypocitrateuria,hypercalciuria
Enzymatic defects
Xanthinuria. Deficiency xanthine oxidase
Radiolucent xanthine stones
2,8-dihydroxyadenine.
Deficiency adeninephosphoribosyl transferase (APRT)
Radiolucent stones, requires infrared / crystallographic analysis
Treatment with allopurinol
Primary hyperoxaluria,
Idiopathic Urolithiasis
Majority of patients
Risk factor profile
Abnormally high excretion of Ca (>4mg/kg/d), uric acid, oxalate, Na
Decrease in several inhibitory solutes
Decreased urine volume!
