Hematuria is a symptom of kidney and urinary tract disease. It is important to prove the presence of hematuria and at the same time assess its intensity and origin. Hematuria is classified by quantity into macroscopic and microscopic, and by origin into glomeru­lar (in primary and secondary glomerulonephritis) and non-glomerular (in diseases affecting the kidney parenchyma other than glomeruli, postrenal or extrarenal causes). Diseases causing hematuria also include serious or rapidly progressing conditions that require prompt diagnosis assessment and intervention, either by a urologist or a nephrologist. Therefore, the correct differential diagnosis of hematuria is essential.
