<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Microhematuria&#039;&#039;&#039; is a medical condition characterized by the presence of small amounts of [[blood]] in the [[urine]]. It is often an incidental finding during routine [[urinalysis]] and can be a sign of various underlying conditions, including [[urinary tract infections]], [[kidney stones]], and [[bladder cancer]].<br /> <br /> ==Definition==<br /> Microhematuria is defined as the presence of three or more red blood cells per high-power field in a urine sample examined under a microscope. It is different from [[gross hematuria]], where the blood in the urine is visible to the naked eye.<br /> <br /> ==Causes==<br /> Microhematuria can be caused by a variety of conditions, including:<br /> * [[Urinary tract infections]] (UTIs)<br /> * [[Kidney stones]]<br /> * [[Bladder stones]]<br /> * [[Kidney disease]]<br /> * [[Bladder cancer]]<br /> * [[Kidney cancer]]<br /> * Certain medications, such as [[aspirin]], [[penicillin]], and [[heparin]]<br /> * Strenuous exercise<br /> <br /> ==Diagnosis==<br /> The diagnosis of microhematuria is typically made through a [[urinalysis]]. If microhematuria is detected, further tests may be performed to determine the underlying cause. These tests may include a [[cystoscopy]], [[ultrasound]], or [[computed tomography]] (CT) scan.<br /> <br /> ==Treatment==<br /> The treatment for microhematuria depends on the underlying cause. For example, if a UTI is the cause, antibiotics will be prescribed. If kidney stones are the cause, treatment may involve medication, dietary changes, or in some cases, surgery.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Hematuria]]<br /> * [[Urinary tract infections]]<br /> * [[Kidney stones]]<br /> * [[Bladder cancer]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Urology]]<br /> [[Category:Nephrology]]<br /> [[Category:Symptoms and signs]]<br /> <br /> {{stub}}</div>
