Hematuria is a very frequent urinary abnormality in general medical practice. Etiologic diagnosis is made easier in patients who present other signs and symptoms that indicate the presence of a specific pathology. The presence of microscopic hematuria alone, however, presents a challenge to diagnosis. In this sense, in addition to patient history and medical examination, urinalysis can be an important ally in the investigation of the etiology and in differential diagnosis, providing important information that will guide the approach to the problem and avoiding unnecessary or invasive tests. Our objective was to review the etiology of, and diagnostic approach to hematuria especially in cases of adults with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria.
