Background
Although asymptomatic microscopic hematuria (MH) is a common finding in clinical practice, its long-term outcome remains unknown.
Aim
This study evaluated the clinical implication of MH in the general population using a large-scale long-term longitudinal cohort database.
Methods
This study included 8719 participants from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study between 2001 and 2014. MH was defined as ≥5 red blood cells per high-power field in random urinalysis without evidence of pyuria. The primary study outcome measure was incident chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate |
