[Macroscopic painless hematuria in urologic neoplasms]

A group of 100 patients with urinary system tumours and asymptomatic macroscopic haematuria in the past were analysed retrospectively. The analysis showed that the time between the appearance of macroscopic haematuria and the final diagnosis and treatment was from 18 to 560 days. The authors suggest ultrasonographic examination and urography in each case of macroscopic haematuria, and possibly early referral of the case to specialist in urology.
