Overview

Natural history, complications, and prognosis of hematuria usually depend on the underlying etiology. Accompanying proteinuria might indicate significant kidney disease. The presence of proteinuria, hypertension, and/or abnormal renal function might be associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with hematuria. Isolated hematuria is associated with a good prognosis in children.

Natural history, Complications and Prognosis

Natural History

Natural history of hematuria usually depends on the underlying etiology.

Complications

Complications of hematuria usually depend on the underlying etiology.

Prognosis

Depending on the underlying etiology of the hematuria, the prognosis may vary.

• Accompanying proteinuria might indicate significant kidney disease.
• The presence of proteinuria, hypertension, and/or abnormal renal function might be associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with hematuria.
• Isolated hematuria is associated with a good prognosis in children.
