Hematuria in a young recreational runner.
A 27-year-old recreational jogger developed gross hematuria following a 2-mile run. Evaluation revealed a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Etiologies for pigmenturia and the pathogenesis of exertional hematuria are reviewed. The need to exclude other causes of hematuria before attributing the finding to exercise is emphasized.
