Overview
The differential diagnosis of haematuria is not always easy. It is essential to assess always whether it is of renalor postrenal origin. In this differentiating examination of the urinary sediment use of a microscope with phasecontrast is helpful. In the child population usually haematuria of renal origin predominates. The spectrum ofpostrenal causes of haematurias can be also quite broad and in some instances it is necessary to use for the finaldiagnosis all available auxiliary examinations. The authors mention a clinical observation where haematuria wascaused by a foreign body in the urethra.
