Abstract

Hematuria is indicative of a wide range of etiologies of varying pathogenic significance. The microscopic examination of urinary sediments for the assessment of morphology of red blood cells (RBCs) is an economic, non-invasive screening to differentiate glomerular (GH) from non-glomerular hematuria (NGH). Hence, this study was performedto observe if ‘dysmorphic RBCs’ studied at early stages using Wright’s stain (WS) and light microscopy (LM) can help in investigation of hematuria.
