ABSTRACT = {Asymptomatic microscopic and gross hematuria are 
common problems for the primary care physician. The 
exact defi nition of microscopic hematuria is debated, 
but is defi ned by one group as > 3 red blood cells/high 
power microscopic fi eld. While the causes of hematuria 
are extensive, the most common differential diagnosis for 
both microscopic and gross hematuria in adults includes 
infection, malignancy, and urolithiasis. Clinical 
evaluation of these patients often involves urological 
consultation with urine cytology, urine culture, 
imaging studies, and cystoscopy. Patients who have 
no identifi able cause after an extensive workup should 
be monitored for early detection of malignancy or occult 
renal disease.},
