History

In assessing the underlying cause of hematuria, the patient should be asked the following questions:

• Has the patient passed any blood clots?
• Has a kidney stone been passed? Did the patient hear a noise in toilet bowl?
• Is the red color mixed in completely, or does the color change during an episode of urination?
• Does it occur only after getting up?
• Has the patient recently had a sore throat?

Symptoms

• Passing blood clots or urine appear red in color.
• Passing stones in urine.
• Occurring in the early morning void or whole day.
• Recent infection or a recent sore throat.
