Overview
Hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine and is a common condition in urological practice. It accounts for around 20% of urological referrals and is important, as it can be a cardinal symptom of urological malignancy. Around 40% of patients investigated for hematuria are found to have significant underling pathology, half of whom will have a urological malignancy. Therefore, all patients presenting with a single episode of haematuria require urgent investigation. Haematuria in adults should be regarded as a symptom of urological malignancy until proven otherwise.
