I now have all the material needed for a comprehensive answer.

Hematuria

Hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine. It is a urologic sign, not a diagnosis, and mandates evaluation because it may signal urologic cancer in up to 25% of cases.

Definition

Type	Definition
Gross hematuria	Visible blood in urine; as little as 1 mL blood per liter of urine turns urine red
Microscopic hematuria	≥ 3 RBCs/high-power field (HPF) on urine microscopy in adults
Pediatric threshold	> 5 RBCs/HPF on at least 2 weekly samples is considered abnormal

Persistence = hematuria in > 50% of urine samples on 2-3 separate occasions.

Pseudohematuria - Rule Out First

Red-colored urine without true RBCs on microscopy:

Drugs: phenazopyridine, rifampin, nitrofurantoin, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine
Foods: beets, berries, rhubarb, food coloring
Other: iodine, bromide

The dipstick alone is insufficient - urine microscopy is mandatory to confirm true hematuria. After centrifugation, red color in the sediment = true hematuria; red supernatant with no RBCs = pseudohematuria.

Classification by Stream Pattern

Pattern	Likely Origin
Initial stream	Prostatic or urethral source
Terminal stream	Bladder neck / trigone
Throughout stream	Bladder, ureter, or upper tract

Clot morphology: Vermiform (worm-shaped) clots arise from the upper urinary tract; cuboid clots form in the bladder.

Causes (Differential Diagnosis)

Upper Urinary Tract

Glomerular: IgA nephropathy, thin basement membrane disease, Alport syndrome, post-infectious GN, lupus nephritis
Non-glomerular: Renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma of renal pelvis, urolithiasis, polycystic kidney disease, renal papillary necrosis, trauma, AVM
Infections: Pyelonephritis, renal tuberculosis, schistosomiasis

Lower Urinary Tract

Bladder cancer (most common cause of gross hematuria in patients > 50 years old)
Urothelial carcinoma
Cystitis (bacterial, radiation, cyclophosphamide-induced)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH - increased vascularity, not a direct cause)
Prostate cancer
Urethritis, urethral stricture

Systemic / Other

Sickle cell disease (vasoocclusion in renal medulla; characteristically left-sided and 4x more common from the left kidney due to higher left renal vein pressure)
Coagulopathy / anticoagulants (supratherapeutic anticoagulation; therapeutic levels do not cause spontaneous hematuria)
Exercise-induced (transient, self-limited)
Endometriosis of urinary tract (cyclical hematuria with menstruation)
Trauma (post-renal transplant anastomosis, biopsy-related AV fistula)

Risk Factors for Urologic Malignancy

Age > 35-50 years
Male sex
Smoking history
Industrial chemical exposure (aniline dyes, benzidine, petroleum products)
Alkylating chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide)
Analgesic abuse
Chronic foreign bodies in the urinary tract
Chronic recurrent UTIs

Diagnostic Clues on History & Exam

UTI symptoms (dysuria, frequency, urgency) - treat and recheck; if microscopic hematuria resolves post-treatment, no further workup needed
Flank pain - nephrolithiasis or pyelonephritis
Painless gross hematuria - malignancy until proven otherwise
Hypertension + edema - glomerular disease
Cola-colored urine + proteinuria + dysmorphic RBCs + RBC casts - glomerulonephritis (refer to nephrology)
Abdominal bruit - AV fistula; pulsatile mass - AAA (life-threatening)

Diagnostic Workup

Step 1 - Urinalysis with Microscopy

Confirm true hematuria
Look for: RBC casts, dysmorphic RBCs (glomerular origin), WBCs, proteinuria

Step 2 - Urine Culture

Exclude infection before proceeding

Step 3 - Imaging

CT urography (multiphasic) - preferred; evaluates renal parenchyma, urothelium of upper tracts, identifies hydronephrosis, stones, masses
MR urography - for patients with contrast contraindications
Renal ultrasound - acceptable alternative when CT unavailable

Step 4 - Cystoscopy

Per AUA guidelines, recommended for:

All patients ≥ 35 years with microhematuria
Any age with gross hematuria
Any age with risk factors for urologic malignancy (tobacco use, chemical exposure)

Step 5 - Renal Function

BUN, creatinine, eGFR
24-hour urine if nephrologic cause suspected

Step 6 - Nephrology Referral

Indicated when glomerular origin suspected (dysmorphic RBCs, RBC casts, significant proteinuria, hypertension, impaired GFR)

Special Contexts

Trauma

Gross hematuria with trauma = renal imaging (CT with contrast) mandatory
Degree of hematuria does not reliably correlate with severity of injury
Hematuria absent in ~7% of Grade IV renal injuries and ~50% of ureteropelvic junction injuries
Microscopic hematuria + hemodynamic shock = high risk for major renal injury

Renal Transplant

Immediate post-op hematuria = ureterovesical anastomosis issue (usually self-limited)
Persistent post-biopsy hematuria = AV fistula (diagnose with Duplex US; 70% resolve spontaneously; embolization if persistent)
AMH in transplant recipients - evaluate per AUA guidelines + add BK virus to differential

Sickle Cell Disease

Gross hematuria, typically unilateral, left kidney predominant
Conservative management: bed rest, high urine output, urine alkalinization (theoretical benefit)
Antifibrinolytics (epsilon-aminocaproic acid, tranexamic acid) for massive/persistent hemorrhage - use with caution (prothrombotic)
Surgical/embolization/nephrectomy reserved for refractory cases

2025 AUA/SUFU Guideline Update (Key Points)

The 2025 AUA/SUFU Microhematuria Guideline Amendment (Barocas et al., J Urol 2025, PMID: 40013563) introduced:

Revised risk stratification system for microhematuria
Updated guidance on urine-based tumor markers and cytology
New guidance on diagnosis and surveillance follow-up schedules

Follow-up for Negative Evaluation

After a complete negative workup for persistent microhematuria:

Annual urinalysis
Repeat urologic examination consideration every 3-5 years

The flowchart is complete and looks great - all the nodes, decision diamonds, branching paths, and color-coded lanes are rendering correctly. Here's your download:

What's in the flowchart

The single wide-format slide walks through the full AUA/SUFU 2025 decision pathway across 5 color-coded lanes:

Color	Represents
🔵 Blue	Entry node and workup steps
🟣 Purple	Decision diamonds (Yes/No branches)
🟠 Orange	Urgent workup (gross hematuria, high-risk)
🔴 Red/Pink	High-risk malignancy path
🟢 Green	Benign/low-risk path and resolved cases
🟤 Dark Purple	Nephrology referral

Flow summary

Entry - Red/colored urine
Step 1 - Urine microscopy: ≥3 RBCs/HPF? - If NO → pseudohematuria (drugs, foods), stop
Step 2 - Benign cause (UTI, menstruation, exercise, trauma)? - If YES → treat and repeat UA in 6 weeks
Step 3 - Type split: Gross (left path) vs Microscopic (right path)
Gross path - Urgent CT urography + renal US + cystoscopy for all ages; glomerular signs? → nephrology
Micro path - Age ≥35 or risk factors? YES → full workup (CT urography + cystoscopy + cytology); NO → renal imaging + annual UA x3 years
Risk factors callout - Smoking, aniline dyes, cyclophosphamide, chronic UTI, male sex, age >35
Pediatric note - Threshold >5 RBCs/HPF on 2 weekly samples; cystoscopy rarely indicated <18 yrs; prioritize nephrology
