Our case raises awareness to other dermatologists and primary care physicians that haematuria can be secondary to isotretinoin but not a contraindication for further use if asymptomatic and microscopic. More extensive evaluation and monitoring should be done if the patient is symptomatic with other abnormalities and symptoms. Urinalysis should be a part of routine follow-up monitoring in patients on isotretinoin. Furthermore, delineating and differentiating when to refer to a nephrologist is essential for physicians, patients, and the health care system overall.
