evaluation
Describe causes and differential diagnosis
Indications for urologic evaluation/referral
Advances in kidney cancer
Update on bladder cancer
Hematuria: Definitions
Gross or microscopic blood in the urine
3 or more RBC/HPF in 2 of 3 specimens, or 4 or
more RBC/HPF
Normal: up to 100,0000 rbc excreted per 12 hours
Microhematuria occurs in 2.5 to as much as 21%
of the population
1ml or less of blood is visible
Hematuria
Other causes of urine discoloration: pigment from
Hematuria
10% or more have benign hematuria or hematuria
of unknown cause
Symptom of bladder cancer, kidney cancer,
infection, stones, etc. guide workup
Risk factors for cancer: smoking, radiation,
chemical exposure, age

Workup of Hematuria
History and physical exam
Urinalysis for protein, crenated RBC, RBC casts,
bacteria
Cytology
Creatinine
Imaging studies: ultrasound, IVP, CT, MRI, RPG
Cystoscopy

Negative Evaluation?
Found in at least 10% of cases
Cancer later found in 1-3% of these patients
Consider repeating UA and cytology in 6, 12, 24,
36 months
Consider immediate repeat evaluation for recurrent
gross hematuria, abnormal cytology, or lower
urinary tract symptoms of frequency and dysuria
Unexplained Hematuria
Focal glomerulitis
Metabolic predisposition to stone formation
Children: one third of idiopathic hematuria
is due to hypercalciuria; 5-20%
hyperuricosuria; rarely hypocitruria
AV malformations/fistula- usually gross
hematuria
Asymptomatic Microhematuria
8 urinary calculi
3 kidney tumors
2 bladder tumors
Persistent Microhematuria
CT for Microhematuria
115 pts: CT with 5mm cuts plus IVP
Xray abnormalities: 38%. 100% sensitivity for CT
Partial nephrectomy
Laparoscopic nephrectomy
Nephrectomy in metastatic renal cell
carcinoma
Resection of solitary and multiple
metastasis

Bladder Cancer
Signs and Symptoms
85% present with gross or microscopic hematuria.
CT Scan 11/03: CR
after 4 cycles of CGP
TUR 11/3: 6 of 40 +TCC
XRT to prostate, nodes
TUR 3/4: bladder and
prostate negative
Diagnosis
Cystoscopy is key: papillary tumors are easily
TURBT
Risk Groups
Improve Treatment Selection
Low risk: G1,TA solitary tumor with no
recurrence at 3 months
Intermediate risk: multiple or recurrent G1,TA;
G2,TA
High risk: any G3, lamina propria invasion (T1),
CIS, or 3 month recurrence
