  • Title: [The significance of erythrocyte morphology for the differential diagnosis of hematuria].
    Author: Adomssent G, Stolpe HJ.
    Journal: Kinderarztl Prax; 1989 Apr; 57(4):171-6. PubMed ID: 2661898.
    Abstract:
    Since 1984 we have investigated urine specimens of 129 patients by means of phase contrast microscopy. 51% of the children have an isomorphic, 43% a dysmorphic and 6% a mixed erythrocyturia. We have found a good correlation between dysmorphic erythrocyturia and glomerular diseases and between isomorphic erythrocyturia and nonglomerular changes. In 4.6% there were a discrepancy between the urinary findings and the diagnoses. Phase contrast microscopy is an advantage for diagnostics of hematuria provided that it will be done repeatedly.
