Summary

  • Presence of hematuria without proteinuria indicates lower urinary tract or glomerular process (Table 3)
    • Absence of Proteinuria (Bland Urine) and Specific Gravity
    • Pathologic kidney process that does not manifest with proteinuria is likely focused in renal tubules or interstitial area with serum creatinine as sole marker (Table 3)
    Renal Tubular Function: Urine Glucose, Urine Phosphate, Acidity and Phosphate Levels
    • Derangements of proximal tubular function may be indicated by the presence of urinary acidosis (type 2 tubular acidosis), glycosuria (resorptive deficiency), and phosphaturia
