Overview
Asymptomatic hematuria is common in clinical practice, with a prevalence ranging from 0.18% to 38.7%.[1]
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.
