For patients with CKD, hematuria can be caused by many factors, which make it a common symptom.

The most common cause of hematuria is the increase in the permeability of glomerular filtration membrane. Glomerular filtration membrane is in charge of filtrating out the metabolic wastes and keeping the useful substances in body. When it is damaged by patient’s kidney disease, lots of nutrients in body will leak out through patient’s urine. When red cells leak out in this process, hematuria will appear.

Patients with CKD often have complications like kidney stone and infection, and these factors often cause patients to have blood in urine. Besides, for patients with PKD and kidney cyst, when the size of their kidney cysts is too big, kidney cyst rupture often appears, and that can also cause hematuria.
