ABSTRACT
In this study, 100 patients with negative labaratory test and without definitive diagnosis by imaging ,were evaluated by cystoscopy.
Hematuria was defined as the appearance of red blood cells equali to or more than two in high power field (hpf).
¼ of these patients had microscopic hematuria and ¾ of patients had macroscopic hematuria.
Male to female ratio increases significantly with age. In this study, bladder tumor was the most common cause of painless macroscopic hematuria.
If microscopic hematuria is asymptomatic and it appears accidentally, it is more likely that the result of cystoscopy is reported normal and the most common group with normal cystoscopy are females in childbearing age.
With comparison of diagnostic results, normal cystoscopy in female/ male is 6/1 and bladder tumor in M/F is 6/1 In 100 patients that were evaluted with cystoscopy, the most common cause of hematuria in males was blader tumor and in females was normal cystoscopy.
