Microscopic hematuria is common cause for referral to urology, nephrology or both. However, the definition and evaluation of microscopic hematuria is not established. The most common urologic causes are benign hyperplasia, urinary calculi and infection. But urologic malignancy is found about 2.6% to 4% in patients with microscopic hematuria.
