Association between gingival bleeding and hematuria as biomarkers of periodontitis and renal disease: a review.

Gingival bleeding is a common complaint and symptom in patients with periodontitis. In clinics, gingival bleeding is regarded as an important sign of gingival inflammation, which is also of great significance in predicting the activity of periodontitis. Existing research has indicated that periodontitis has an impact on distant sites, such as the kidney. Hematuria is the principal feature of glomerular disease, which can reflect the degree and condition of glomerular inflammation. Previous studies have revealed an association between periodontal diseases with renal diseases, so a study is necessary to discuss their representative signs of them. For the moment, there are no reports that are concerned about the correlation between gingival bleeding with hematuria. The main point of this text is to review the potential association between gingival bleeding with hematuria, reveal their underlying mechanisms, and provide instructions for the therapy of periodontitis and glomerular diseases.© 2023.
