The urological examination was performed on 637 patients who visited our department for the past 3 years with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria (micro group) and the result was compared to that of 221 patients with macroscopic hematuria (macro group).
1) The significant urologic lesion was found in 81 patients (12.7%) in micro group and in 101 patients (45.7%) in macro group.
2) The malignant tumor, apparently most important in routine check up, was found in 61 patients (23.5%) in macro group and in 8 patients (1.3%) in micro group.
3) Idiopathic hematuria, the cause not determined by various urological procedure, was found in 61 patients (27.6%) in macro group, while this was more frequent in micro group (332 patients, 52.1%).
4) No particular changes were found in all the patients during the follow-up studies on idiopathic hematuria of both groups (143 patients for more than 1 year, 67 patients for more than 2 years and 30 patients for over 3 years).
