**** Design: prospective cohort study
**** Population: 1,930 patients with microscopic and macroscopic hematuria attending a clinic
**** Results:
***** No disease found in >60%
***** UTI in 13%
***** Bladder cancer in 12%
***** Renal disease in 10%
***** Stones in 3.5%
***** Kidney cancer in 0.6%
***** Prostate cancer in 0.4%
***** Upper tract urothelial carcinoma in 0.1%
***** A review of 1,168 patients with no diagnosis (follow-up range 2.5 to 4.2 years) has revealed no subsequent neoplastic disease.
