The distribution curves of urinary red-blood-cell (RBC) size were obtained from automated blood-cell analysis in 146 patients with definite causes of haematuria. In 65 of 67 patients (97%) with haematuria and glomerulonephritis demonstrated by renal biopsy, urinary RBC had an irregular and asymmetrical distribution with RBC size showing a much smaller volume than that of venous RBC. This "glomerular" distribution contrasted with the "non-glomerular" normal distribution when the peak for RBC was at a larger volume than that for peripheral RBC. In 46 of 47 patients with haematuria who had lower urinary tract lesions other than infection, a non-glomerular distribution was obtained; 30 of these cases also showed glomerular distribution, and were classified as "mixed". All 32 patients with urinary tract infection had either a glomerular or mixed distribution, suggesting that they excreted distorted and dysmorphic urinary RBC. After excluding infections, this simple, rapid, reproducible, and non-invasive technique provides reliable information in distinguishing glomerular bleeding from other causes of haematuria.
