About Hematuria

Hematuria, the presence of blood in the urine, is not a procedure itself but a significant symptom requiring diagnostic evaluation by an Internal Medicine specialist. The evaluation is a comprehensive process to identify the underlying cause, which can range from a simple urinary tract infection to serious conditions like kidney disease, stones, or cancer. The diagnostic workup typically involves a detailed medical history, physical examination, urinalysis, urine culture, blood tests, and imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scan. A timely and thorough evaluation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management, helping to prevent potential complications and guide appropriate treatment.
