Overview
Risk Factors
People of all age groups, including children, can have hematuria. Certain factors increase the chance of hematuria:
- Recent infection: Post-infectious glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy
- 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.
Common risk factors for urinary tract malignancy in patients with hematuria:[1]
- Age older than 35 years
- Analgesic abuse
- Exposure to chemicals or dyes (benzenes or aromatic amines)
- Male sex
- Past or current smoking
History of any of the following:
- Chronic indwelling foreign body
- Chronic urinary tract infection
- Exposure to known carcinogenic agents or alkylating chemotherapeutic agents
- Gross hematuria
- Irritative voiding symptoms
- Pelvic irradiation
- Urologic disorder or disease
