Causes of hematuria may be generally grouped into the site of origin: glomerular or nonglomerular. Glomerular causes arise from the kidney itself. Nonglomerular etiologies can be further subdivided by whether the process is located in the upper urinary tract (kidney and ureter) or lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) (Figure 2). In general, urologists are concerned with structural and pathologic conditions that are visible on imaging and/or endoscopic examination whereas glomerular hematuria is the purview of nephrologists.

The presence of dysmorphic RBC, proteinuria, cellular casts, and/or rental insufficiency warrant concurrent nephrological evaluation.

Urinary findings suggestive of a glomerular source for the patient's hematuria include red cell casts, dysmorphic red blood cells (Figure 3) and significant proteinuria.
