Risk stratification and diagnostic evaluation of patients found to have microscopic hematuria by their primary care providers
Almost 60% of the patients in our cohort were high-risk according to the AUA/SUFU 2020 guidelines. Across all strata, the majority of patients lacked a urology visit and diagnostic evaluation consistent with guideline recommendations. Future efforts should ensure appropriate urologic referral and optimize initial diagnostic strategies for patients with MH.
