2022, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :The most common causes of hematuria are lower urinary tract infections, especially of the bladder, urolithiasis, urogenital tumors or benign prostatic hyperplasia; being a condition that presents a clinical challenge due to its broad spectrum, there is a lack of consensus at present on the necessary diagnostic investigation for hematuria [1].
Systematic Review of the Incidence of and Risk Factors for Urothelial Cancers and Renal Cell Carcinoma Among Patients with Haematuria
2022, European UrologyCitation Excerpt :Smokers, males, and older patients have higher predilection for these cancers [2]. For patients presenting with haematuria, common investigations include cystoscopy, upper tract imaging, and sometimes urine cytology and/or novel urinary biomarkers [1–3]. The economic impact on health care organisations and the potential harm of excessive haematuria investigations cannot be underestimated, particularly for NVH, for which the prevalence is high but the cancer yield is relatively [4].
