benign microscopic haematuria
Last reviewed 01/2018
One in 200 individuals who present with intermittent microscopic haematuria will have no pathological basis for the presentation and are said to have benign microscopic haematuria.
This is a benign condition provided that there is no infection, no proteinuria, renal function is normal and no structural abnormality is present on ultrasound.
There often appears to be an autosomal dominant inheritance to this condition.
