    Summary

    Exercise haematuria, often microscopic and from the kidneys, is common. Lower urinary tract bleeding after long runs usually resolves within 48 hours; persistent issues warrant investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Exercise-induced haematuria is a frequent clinical finding.
    • Microscopic haematuria is typically glomerular, potentially linked to renal ischemia.
    • Lower urinary tract bleeding, less common, is associated with higher red blood cell counts and bladder trauma from prolonged exercise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the causes and typical resolution times of exercise-associated haematuria.
    • To provide guidance on further investigations for persistent urinary abnormalities post-exercise.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing studies on exercise-associated urinary abnormalities.
    • Analysis of red blood cell morphology for diagnostic clues.

    Main Results:

    • Most exercise-associated urinary abnormalities resolve within 24 to 48 hours.
    • Glomerular origin is common for microscopic haematuria.
    • Bladder trauma is a likely cause of lower urinary tract bleeding after endurance events.

    Conclusions:

    • Exercise haematuria is generally transient.
    • Persistent abnormalities necessitate further urinary tract investigation based on red blood cell morphology.
