The following are the most important diseases or complications that can be caused by hematuria (blood in the urine) as well:
Blood, blood-forming organs – Immune system (D50-D90).
- Anemia (anemia)
- Cardiovascular disorders due to rapid massive blood loss.
Neoplasms (C00-D48)
- Tumor diagnosis within three months of diagnosis of hematuria:
- 1.9% of patients invasive urinary bladder carcinoma (bladder cancer); cumulative incidence increased from 1.2% at one year to 1.4% at five years in women and from 2, 9% to 3.3% in men (3-12 months after diagnosis of hematuria: 9.28-fold increased risk; incidence at one to five years only twice that in the general population (SIR 2.11); thereafter, risk was approximately 20% increased (this affected more patients with macrohematuria than with microhematuria).
- 0.4% renal carcinoma
- 1.1 % prostate carcinoma
Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99).
- Ischuria (urinary retention) – due to blood clots interfering with urinary flow.
