Extractions: Hematuria is the presence of red blood cells (RBCs) in the urine. In microscopic hematuria, the urine appears normal to the naked eye, but examination under a microscope shows a high number of RBCs. In gross hematuria, the urine is red or the color of cola, which can be seen with the naked eye. What causes hematuria? Most of the causes are not serious, but, because hematuria may be the result of a tumor or other serious problem, a doctor should be consulted. Several conditions can cause hematuria. For example, exercise may cause hematuria that goes away in 24 hours. Many people have hematuria without having any other related problems. How is hematuria diagnosed?
Extractions: La hematuria es la presencia de glóbulos rojos (su sigla en inglés es RBC) en la orina. Con frecuencia, a simple vista la orina parece normal, pero al examen bajo el microscopio muestra un número elevado de RBC. En hematuria evidente, la orina es roja o del color de un refresco de cola y puede verse a simple vista. ¿Cuáles son las causas de la hematuria? La mayoría de las causas no son graves, pero debido a que la hematuria puede ser el resultado de un tumor u otro problema serio, debe consultar al médico. Muchas personas tienen hematuria sin tener ningún otro problema asociado. Para determinar la causa de la hematuria o descartar ciertas causas, podría solicitarse una serie de exámenes. ¿Cómo se diagnostica la hematuria?

Extractions: Advanced Search A patient information handout on microscopic hematuria, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1154. M icroscopic hematuria is defined as the excretion of more than three red blood cells per high-power field in a centrifuged urine specimen. Because the degree of hematuria bears no relation to the seriousness of the underlying cause, hematuria should be considered a symptom of serious disease until proved otherwise. Microscopic hematuria is defined as the excretion of more than three erythrocytes per high-power field, but the degree of hematuria does not correlate with the seriousness of the underlying cause of the bleeding. The widespread use of dipstick urinalysis in clinical practice and health screening has resulted in increased recognition of microscopic hematuria and has raised concerns about the appropriate diagnostic investigation. The prevalence of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria in adult men and postmenopausal women has been reported to range from 10 percent to as high as 20 percent. Routine screening of all adults for microscopic hematuria with dipstick testing is not currently recommended because of the intermittent occurrence of this finding and the low incidence of significant associated urologic disease.

B lood in the urine (hematuria) can originate from any site along the urinary tract and, whether gross or microscopic, may be a sign of serious underlying disease, including malignancy. The literature agrees that gross hematuria warrants a thorough diagnostic evaluation. By contrast, microscopic hematuria is an incidental finding, and whether physicians should test for hematuria in asymptomatic patients remains at issue. No major organization currently recommends screening for microscopic hematuria in asymptomatic adults, even though bladder cancer is the most commonly detected malignancy in such patients.

However, there are a couple of exceptions: In women, the blood may appear to be in the urine when it's actually coming from the vagina In men, the urethra carries both urine and semen out of the body and what may be mistaken for urinary bleeding is sometimes a bloody ejaculation usually due to a prostate problem. In children, coagulation disorders (such as hemophilia ) or other hematologic problems such as sickle cell disease renal vein thrombosis , or the thrombocytopenias can be underlying reasons for newly discovered blood in the urine.

Urine does not normally contain red blood cells because the filters in the kidney prevent blood from entering the urine. In hematuria, the filters or other parts of the urinary tract allow blood to leak into the urine. Microscopic hematuria means that the blood is detected only with a microscope, while gross hematuria means the urine appears red or the color of tea or cola. Microscopic hematuria in an otherwise healthy child does not usually need to be investigated unless it is present in at least three urine tests over several months. However, if the child has high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease or protein in the urine, then hematuria should be investigated promptly What causes hematuria?

For example, certain foods like beets and certain medicines like metronidazole (an antibiotic) can make the urine turn red.

Extractions: The work up that has been done in your case is the gold standard , and should be adequate. There is no preponderance of evidence suggesting a familial predisposition in the case of transitional cell cancer. The best follow up for you would be urine cytology checks, probably on a yearly basis to be certain that if a conversion occurs , it is dealt with expeditiously. A CT scan at this point is unnecessary. It is unlikely to add much to the diagnostic process. The best of luck to you. This information is provided for general medical education purposes only.
