HEMATURIA: A RARE PRESENT : A RARE PRESENT : A RARE PRESENT : A RARE PRESENT : A RARE PRESENTA

2005 
A young man presented to urologist with a history of passing red color urine after intake of some medications from the local doctor. On investigations he was having anemia, altered liver function tests, mild renal impairment, and evidence of hemolysis. Hematologist was involved who advised to get certain tests including G6PD estimation, which was found to be deficient. He was admitted and managed conservatively with antibiotics; intravenous fluids, anti-emetics and proton pump inhibitors. He improved within 3-4 days and was discharged. Thus teamwork amongst various specialties improved the diagnosis and management of such a rare presentation of a disease.
