Abstract

Visible haematuria is a common presentation for investigation. Haematuria should be investigated thoroughly to exclude malignancy. Renal papillary hyperplasia is a rare, benign condition that can cause problematic haematuria. There are no currently management guidelines, as there are only few cases reported. We report a case of NSAID induced visible haematuria due to bilateral renal papillary hyperplasia and managed conservatively.

Keywords: Haematuria; Hypertrophy; Papillary hyperplasia.
