A Ten-Year Study

Richard H. Bard, MD

Arch Intern Med. 1988;148(12):2629-2632.

Abstract
• A prospective study of 177 women with asymptomatic microhematuria was carried out over a ten-year period. The implications of asymptomatic microhematuria in this population indicate that endoscopic evaluation of the bladder may be unnecessary, as no vesical neoplasms were discovered. It seems that cytologic examination of the urine may be a simpler, more cost-effective method for screening the female population with microhematuria.
