Asymptomatic cystic fibrosis diagnosed in an adult evaluated for hematuria.

The ever-broadening spectrum of atypical adult presentations of cystic fibrosis should prompt physicians to have a lower threshold for ordering genetic screening for cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene mutations.
