Natural history, Complications and Prognosis
Natural history, complications and prognosis of hematuria and microscopic hematuria depends on the severity of the disease. Finding the cause is the main factor which determines the prognosis. As hematuria has a vast majority of causes, the complications depends on the specific etiology.The rate of malignancy detected among patients evaluated for a single positive urinalysis was 3.6%. Thus the most recent AUA guideline panel has determined that a single positive urinalysis is sufficient to prompt evaluation.[1]The prognosis in asymptomatic isolated hematuria is good.
