Abstract

Haematuria following decompression of a distended bladder is a well known condition. The bleeding in such cases originatesin the bladder and resolves spontaneously. We describe an elderly man who had bleeding from the kidney following decompression of the bladder. This resulted in an extensive search for an upper tract tumour as a cause for haematuria.
