Important Historical Elements:
- Painless: suggests malignancy
- Painful: suggests calculi/infection
- Urinalysis: presence of dysmorphic RBC’s, RBC/WBC casts, proteinuria suggest intrinsic renal disease
- Timing: early (distal urethra), throughout (upper urinary tract), terminal (bladder neck, prostatic) #Diagnosis #EM #IM #Urology #Hematuria #Macroscopic #Differential #Algorithm #Ddxof
