Overview
Common risk factors in the development of hematuria include recent infection, strenuous exercise or normal exercise under extreme circumstances, males > 50 years old, and female sex (due to the higher prevalence of urinary tract infection). Common risk factors for urinary tract malignancy in patients with hematuria include age >35, analgesic abuse, exposure to chemicals or dyes (benzenes or aromatic amines), male sex, and smoking history.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of hematuria include:
- 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 lifetime, which can also cause urinary bleeding.
- 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
