Abstract

In this study, (54) patients with hematuria were subjected in this study, where (18) patients with microscopic hematuria, (24) patients with gross hematuria, and (12) patients with terminal hematuria. Also, (10) healthy individual with no history of hematuria were included in this study as control group. The results of this study showed that uronic acid was detected at high levels in (6) patients with microscopic hemature and in (11) patients with gross hematuria were the results above the control group (23± 6.0 and 18.0 ± 4.3 respectively) where as the urine samples of patients with terminal hematuria had normal levels within control group. Malonyldialdehyde (MDA) was also estimated in the urine of patients with hematuria. The results of MDA were not significant although some patients showed high levels for this parameter in their urine samples.
