Other Comments:
Gross haematuria in pregnancy is rare with only sporadic case reports.

It is reassuring that:

In most cases no demonstrable cause can be found and the bleeding subsides after delivery of the baby;

Haematuria in pregnancy has been explained by the rupture of small veins around the dilated renal pelvis;

Investigations can often be postponed and performed after delivery of the baby.

Non-invasive investigations like ultrasound scan of the renal tract and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are considered to be helpful in arriving at such decisions. [1] Landheimer M D, Katz A I. In: The kidney, Ed-Brenner B M, Rector F C. 4^th Edition W B Saunders company, Jovanovich. 1991; 2: 1577
