Haematuria work ‐up in general care—A German observational study

ConclusionsThe high incidence of urinary tract cancer in the data presented here support the rationale for diagnostic work‐up of patients with micro‐ or macrohaematuria. Prospective randomised trials are necessary to identify index patients for second work‐up after a primarily negative investigation as well as the role of molecular markers, which possibly enable to omit invasive work‐up.
