Risk Factors

People of all age groups, including children, can have hematuria. Certain factors increase the chance of hematuria:

• Recent infection: Post-infectious glomerulonephritis
• Exercise: Long distance runners are prone to exercise induced urinary bleeding.
• Age: Males older than 50 years have an enlarged prostate that can cause hematuria.
• Sex: 50% of all women suffer from urinary tract infections at least once in their life time, which can also cause urinary bleeding.
