Overview

The treatment of hematuria is driven by the underlying pathophysiology and is in large part conservative. .

Medical Therapy

• Older patients with transient hematuria should be evaluated for urinary tract cancers
• Urologic consult if necessary
• Treat underlying etiologies
• Increase hydration (stones)

Acute Pharmacotherapies

• Antibiotics (UTI)
• Analgesics (stones)
