Overview
History and symptoms of hematuria depends on the eitology. The history should also include an assessment of associated symptoms, such as gross hematuria, voiding symptoms, or flank pain. Patients' risk factors for known causes of hematuria also should be queried. It is important to know the patient's urologic history, particularly any surgeries or febrile UTIs. It is also critical to ask about the patient's general medical history, to identify potentially contributory diagnoses, such as hypertension, renal insufficiency, bleeding disorders, or sickle cell disease. Current medication use, including anticoagulants and antiplatelet therapies, should be elicited, along with recent coagulation values and any concomitant medications that would potentiate the effects of blood thinners. Family history of nephritis, polycystic kidneys, and rare familial tumor syndromes of the kidney (e.g., von Hippel-Lindau) or urothelium (e.g., Lynch syndrome) also may be informative.[1]
