Guidance

Establish underlying cause and results of any investigations. Discuss with MO who should follow the flowchart for haematuria.

A donor with an intrauterine coil who shows haematuria on a urine dipstick or microscopy can still be cleared, as intrauterine coils are known to cause spotting.

In donors who are menstruating and whose urine dipstick demonstrates haematuria, a repeat urine dipstick should be undertaken once their period has finished.

Please follow the urine guideline algorithm on the following link:
