Liesegang rings in hemorrhagic urine.
Myriad Liesegang rings were encountered in the urine of a 43-year-old patient who was diagnosed as having idiopathic hematuria, emanating from the left ureter or kidney. Erythrocytes and the Liesegang rings spontaneously disappeared from the urine within 4 weeks. We are unaware of a report of a similar observation. Lack of descriptions may be due to underreporting or reflect true rarity of Liesegang rings in the urine. It is suggested that Liesegang rings may precipitate in the hemorrhagic urine as they do in diverse blood-imbibed tissues.
