Gross hematuria(GH) must be distinguished from pigmenturia''',''' which may be due to endogenous sources (e.g., [[bilirubin]], [[myoglobin]],and [[porphyrins]]), foods ingested (e.g., beets and rhubarb), drugs (e.g., [[phenazopyridine]]), and simple [[dehydration]]. This distinction can be made easily by urinalysis with microscopy. Notably, [[myoglobinuria]] and other factors can cause false-positive chemical tests for hemoglobin, so urine microscopy is required to confirm the diagnosis of hematuria. GH also must be distinguished from vaginal bleeding in women''',''' which usually can be achieved by obtaining a careful menstrual history, collecting the specimen when the patient is not having menstrual or gynecologic bleeding, or, if necessary, obtaining a catheterized specimen. GH may also be detected by the presence of blood spotting on the undergarments of incontinent patients. After ruling out vaginal bleeding and mimics of hematuria, a urologic source must be suspected.

== Differential Diagnosis ==
== Differential Diagnosis ==
Hematuria should be differentiated from other disease which mimic hematuria especially [[hemoglobinuria]] and [[myoglobinuria]] which are dipstick positive but negative for microscopy.
Hematuria should be differentiated from other conditions which might mimic hematuria such as [[hemoglobinuria]], [[myoglobinuria]], [[porphyria]], [[bile]] pigments, and [[alkaptonuria]].<ref name="IngelfingerLongo2021">{{cite journal|last1=Ingelfinger|first1=Julie R.|last2=Longo|first2=Dan L.|title=Hematuria in Adults|journal=New England Journal of Medicine|volume=385|issue=2|year=2021|pages=153–163|issn=0028-4793|doi=10.1056/NEJMra1604481}}</ref>
 
*Hematuria is usually characterized by red/rusty urine color, positive [[heme]] test, [[red blood cells]] and casts on microscopy, and normal [[plasma]]. These characteristic findings might be helpful for differentiaton of hematuria from abovementioned conditions.
==Differentiating Hemoglobinuria from Myoglobinuria==
*[[Hemoglobinuria]] is usually characterized by pink/red urine color, positive heme test, no cells on microscopy, and pink plasma.

*[[Myoglobinuria]] is usually characterized by rusty urine color, positive heme test, no cells on microscopy (casts might be seen), and normal plasma.

*[[Porphyria]] is usually characterized by urine color turns black/brown/red when the urine exposed to sunlight, negative heme test, normal microscopic findings, and normal plasma.

*[[Bile pigments]] is usually characterized by brown urine color, negative heme test, normal microscopic findings, and dark to bright yellow (icteric) plasma.

Overview

Gross hematuria(GH) must be distinguished from pigmenturia, which may be due to endogenous sources (e.g., bilirubin, myoglobin,and porphyrins), foods ingested (e.g., beets and rhubarb), drugs (e.g., phenazopyridine), and simple dehydration. This distinction can be made easily by urinalysis with microscopy. Notably, myoglobinuria and other factors can cause false-positive chemical tests for hemoglobin, so urine microscopy is required to confirm the diagnosis of hematuria. GH also must be distinguished from vaginal bleeding in women, which usually can be achieved by obtaining a careful menstrual history, collecting the specimen when the patient is not having menstrual or gynecologic bleeding, or, if necessary, obtaining a catheterized specimen. GH may also be detected by the presence of blood spotting on the undergarments of incontinent patients. After ruling out vaginal bleeding and mimics of hematuria, a urologic source must be suspected.

Differential Diagnosis

Hematuria should be differentiated from other conditions which might mimic hematuria such as hemoglobinuria, myoglobinuria, porphyria, bile pigments, and alkaptonuria.[1]

  • Hematuria is usually characterized by red/rusty urine color, positive heme test, red blood cells and casts on microscopy, and normal plasma. These characteristic findings might be helpful for differentiaton of hematuria from abovementioned conditions.
  • Hemoglobinuria is usually characterized by pink/red urine color, positive heme test, no cells on microscopy, and pink plasma.
  • Myoglobinuria is usually characterized by rusty urine color, positive heme test, no cells on microscopy (casts might be seen), and normal plasma.
  • Porphyria is usually characterized by urine color turns black/brown/red when the urine exposed to sunlight, negative heme test, normal microscopic findings, and normal plasma.
  • Bile pigments is usually characterized by brown urine color, negative heme test, normal microscopic findings, and dark to bright yellow (icteric) plasma.
  • Alkaptonuria is usually characterized by urine color turns black when the urine exposed to sunlight, negative heme test, normal microscopic findings, and normal plasma.
