Is hematuria caused by the Nutcracker syndrome homogeneous?

Patient's question:

Hematuria 7 years ago, polymorphonuclear red blood cells under the microscope, other symptoms of the nutcracker, no other abnormalities, previous treatment history and effectiveness: no treatment, female 11 years old, what kind of assistance is needed: Is hematuria caused by nutcracker syndrome always homogeneous.

Doctor's answer:

Syndrome refers to the left renal vein compression syndrome. The cause of hematuria is renal vein hypertension due to compression of the left renal vein, the expansion of the left renal vein, and abnormal recanalization with the renal collecting system, or partial thinning and rupture of the venous wall, leading to non-glomerular hematuria with non-glomerular red blood cell morphology. If not accompanied by infection, the hematuria caused by the nutcracker effect is generally homogeneous.
Suggestions:
The main symptoms of nutcracker syndrome are hematuria and proteinuria. Magnetic resonance imaging is a simple, non-invasive, safe, and highly repeatable method that can also be used for dynamic observation, providing significant assistance in diagnosis.
