Definition
Microscopic hematuria is defined as the presence of three or greater red blood cells per high powered field on a properly collected urinary specimen in the absence of an obvious benign cause.[1]
Prevalence
The prevalence of microscopic hematuria varies depending on age, gender, frequency of testing, threshold used to define MH and presence of risk factors such as smoking.[1]
