Hi,
The likelihood of Ecosprin causing micro-hematuria is particularly in persons above 65 years. Also, the other cause of this may be Ceruvin, you are taking, as it is also a blood thinner. In my opinion, if it is more than one year since your angioplasty and you are having micro-hematuria, then the dose of Ecosprin and Ceruvin may be decreased to Ecosprin 81 mg daily and Ceruvin 75 mg on alternate day. However, this dose reduction is always to be done under guidance of your treating doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
