Overview
Asymptomatic hematuria is common in clinical practice, with a prevalence ranging from 0.18% to 38.7%.[1]Transient microscopic hematuria may occur in 6% to 39% of the population studied, but persistent microscopic hematuria in 3 or more consecutive urinalyses occurs less often, and is seen in 0.5% to 2% of the population under study. Causes of transient hematuria may include vigorous exercise, sexual intercourse, mild trauma, and menstrual contamination. In the prevalence of underlying urinary tract disease, there is no clear difference between patients with transient microscopic hematuria and those with persistent microscopic hematuria.[2]
Screening
Screening for microscopic hematuria is not advocated by any professional organization, including the American Urological Association.[3]
Age
Young patients are more likely to have intrinsic renal pathology (i.e. glomerulonephritis whereas malignancy is more common in the elderly).
Sex
Malignancy of the bladder and kidney is at least twice as common in males than in females. Women are more commonly affected by urinary tract infections.
