History

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

• Have you passed any blood clots?
• Has a kidney stone been passed (have you heard 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?
• Have you recently had a sore throat?

Symptoms

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