摘要

A 58-year-old white male presented with gross he-maturia. At hospitalization hematocrit was 26, hemoglobin was 9.6 gm and urinalysis revealed greater than 100 red blood cells per high power field with multiple clots. Cytology identified abnormal cells consistent with transitional cell carcinoma, cellular debris and bacteria on high power field. Serum albumin was low, creatinine was 1.4 mg/dl and blood urea nitrogen was 24 mg/dl.
