Why Even a Single Episode of Hematuria Needs Investigations?

Hematuria can occur due to various reasons. Out of these reasons urinary tract tumors palys a leading role. Unlike other causes of hematuria, tumors of urinary tract are detrimental unless identified and treated as soon as possible.

Renal cell carcinoma is one such tumor. Renal cell carcinoma is characterized by intermittent episodes of hematuria. Some people can neglect a single episode of hematuria because it can subside without any treatment, but this should not happen. If you ever develop hematuria, you should seek immediate medical help. If not, it will be too late once the tumor has spread throughout the body.
