Henaturia - It is defined as presence of atleast 5 RBC per microliter of urine. Normally blood is not present in urine. At very few instances haematuria can be considered normal.

(Note - Red coloured urine without RBC/Haemoglobin is not haematuria. Cause of red colour urine include - beet root ingestion, blackberry ingestion etc.)

- Pregnancy (during 2nd or 3rd trimester)

- After heavy exercise

- after fever

Abnormal causes of Haematuria : Can be due to upper or lower urinary tract problem.

A. Upper urinary tract causes of Haematuria :

1. Post infectious - PSGN - Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis.

2. Alport syndrome

3. IgA nephropathy (Bergers Disease)

4. FSGS

5. Pyelonephritis

6. SLE nephritis

7. HSP nephritis (henoch schollen purpura )

8. Papillary necrosis

9. Acute tubular necrosis (ATN)

(4 PTS) In humans the dominant allele N causes an abnormal shape of the patella in the knee (n is the normal allele). A separate gene affects finger length, and the dominant allele B causes abnormally short fingers, whereas b gives normal length. A study focused on people who have both abnormal patellae and short fingers (they most likely have the genotype N/n B/b). They inherited the N allele from one parent and the B allele from the other parent. These N/n...
