Haematuria in chronic kidney disease:
- The most common cause of haematuria are non-glomerular conditions such as menstrual contamination or urological conditions (urinary tract infection, kidney calculi, prostatic disease or urinary tumours)
- Visible (or macroscopic) haematuria must always be investigated
- Haematuria due to kidney diseases called glomerular haematuria
- Persistent haematuria, or haematuria found in conjunction with other indicators of kidney damage necessitates investigation
- Under the age of 40, isolated haematuria (haematuria without albuminuria, reduced GFR, or urinary tract malignancy) is usually due to a mild underlying glomerulonephritis with a low propensity for progression
