Understanding Haematuria: Blood in the Urine
Haematuria is the presence of blood in the urine. It may be:
- Visible haematuria: urine appears pink, red, or cola-colored
- Non-visible haematuria: detected only via laboratory tests
Common causes include:
- Urinary tract infections
- Kidney stones
- Prostate enlargement in men
- Bladder inflammation
- Bladder or kidney cancer
Blood may appear at the beginning, throughout, or at the end of urination. Some patients experience painful haematuria, others painless bleeding. Patterns provide important clues to the source.
Mr Khan ensures systematic, evidence-based diagnosis, rapid access to investigations, and clear explanations at every stage. His expertise in bladder conditions and walk-in clinics for urological cancers minimises delays in getting answers and treatment.
- m review – nature of bleeding, risk factors, general health
- Physical examination – abdomen, bladder, and prostate assessment
- Laboratory tests – urine and blood tests for infection, inflammation, kidney function
- Imaging – ultrasound or CT urography of kidneys, ureters, and bladder
- Cystoscopy – flexible cystoscopy in outpatient setting for direct visualisation of bladder and urethra
For therapeutic needs, TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumours) may be performed under general anaesthetic as a day-case or short-stay procedure.
Bladder Cancer Assessment and Treatment
Although most haematuria is benign, bladder cancer must be considered. Signs include painless visible haematuria, particularly in patients over 50 or with risk factors like smoking or chemical exposure.
Mr Khan provides:
- Rapid diagnostic pathways
- TURBT for minimally invasive tumour removal
- Staging investigations and multidisciplinary treatment planning
- Collaboration with oncologists for additional therapies (intravesical chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radical surgery)
His research and academic involvement ensure the latest evidence-based practices are applied to every patient.
Treatment of Non-Cancer Causes of Haematuria
Benign causes are treated effectively:
- UTIs: appropriate antibiotics
- Kidney stones: ureteroscopy or other minimally invasive procedures
- Enlarged prostate: laser prostatectomy
- Bladder inflammation/cystitis: lifestyle modifications, medications, or procedures
- Medication-related bleeding: coordinated care to balance anticoagulation and bleeding risk
For benign haematuria with no identifiable cause, Mr Khan provides reassurance and a surveillance plan to monitor future changes safely.
