What Causes Blood In Urine While Treating Bladder Cancer?
I was diagnosed with a small malignant tumor in my bladder three years ago this month. Have had 3 mo. checks since and one 6 mo. check. My annual physical indicated microscopic blood traces in my urine test. My urologist has ordered a CTscan this week, to look for a cancer indication in my kidneys or uretors. What might my symptoms be for kidney involvement?

All these work up needed because although trace but constant blood in urine is not normal condition ..
