See answer: Microscopic hematuria: very common in general population affecting ~2-5% overall with higher incidence in older adults. Usually clinically insignificant. Visible blood: more likely to have identifiable and/or significant cause. Many causes: too numerous to list. Testing (blood, imaging, and cystoscopy) done to rule out significant causes: uti, renal disease, stones, bladder and kidney cancer.
