Blood in urine in older women: is more testing needed?
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether women over 50 with visible blood in their urine need extra tests after a bladder infection. It aims to find out if they need a camera test (cystoscopy) to check for cancer.

This trial tests if we can safely skip a bladder camera test (cystoscopy) for people who have microscopic blood in their urine. If you meet certain criteria, you may not need the procedure.
This study tests a simple urine test that may help figure out if people with tiny amounts of blood in their urine (not visible to the eye) are at risk for bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors decide who needs more checks.
This trial checks whether a new lab test on urine can help sort out which people with small amounts of blood in the urine (microscopic hematuria) might have bladder cancer. It may help doctors evaluate symptoms more accurately and decide who needs further testing.
This trial is testing a urine test called Bladder EpiCheck to see if it can help find bladder cancer in people who have blood in their urine. You would give a urine sample and then have a standard cystoscopy as part of your care.
This study is looking at why people are admitted to the hospital as an emergency because of blood in their urine (hematuria). If you are being cared for by the urology team and stay for at least a day, you might be able to join.
This study collects urine samples to test UroAmp, a new genetic test that may help detect and monitor bladder cancer. It is for people with bladder cancer or blood in urine who want to help improve cancer detection.
