ABSTRACT

Hematuria is a condition that affects about 16% of the adult population and this may serve as a marker of infection, urolithiasis, cancer, etc. (1, 3). There is controversy in establishing the definition of hematuria as this differs by referring to their various presentations in microhematuria or gross hematuria. Is important to distinguish the presence of microscopic hematuria or macroscopic hematuria, that because there is a higher prevalence of malignancies in patients with gross hematuria. Should be given greater attention and should conduct studies to all patients with macroscopic hematuria without clear cause, patients with glomerular disease, presence of risk factors for malignancy, presence of clots or patients older than 35 years who present asymptomatic microhematuria. Be critical when evaluating the patient with hematuria perform a complete medical history where the risk factors set out in the Risk Index Hematuria where can be determined, and thus determine the need for further studies, including images, especially when benign conditions have been excluded, and thus establish whether the patient should be referred to a Urologist.
