Hematuria
Careful examination of the flanks for a mass (neoplasm, hydronephrosis, polycystic kidney disease) or tenderness (pyelonephritis or renal calculus) is important. It should go without saying that a thorough pelvic and rectal examination must be done. The physician should look for signs of bleeding elsewhere, and in addition to ordering a coagulation profile, he or she should not forget to do a Rumpel–Leede test. In children, one should look for other possible signs of child abuse.
