4. More Causes of Hematuria

  • An enlarged prostate can push against the urethra and block the stream of urine, at least partially. Both benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer can lead to hematuria.
  • Both kidney disease and cancer of the bladder or kidneys can cause hematuria.
  • Inherited or hematologic disorders (those affecting the blood or blood-forming organs) can affect the ability of blood to clot, which can lead to hematuria. Sickle cell disease is just one type of hematologic disorder associated with blood in the urine.
  • Any type of trauma or injury to the urinary tract might cause blood in the urine.
