Introdaction and objectives: The aim of the survey was to obtain information on treatment of patients admitted to Moscow urology departments with gross hematuria (GH).

Methods: A survey was sent to 17 urologic departments within Moscow. The questionnaire contained questions on medical, technical and organizational aspects of gross hematuria management. 189 questionnaires were available for analysis.

Results: The mean age was 66.6 years, mean hospital stay was 6.5 days. Mortality rate was 0.53%. The mean hemoglobin level at the admission was 127.5. Clot retention was observed in 17 (9%) patients. In most cases GH was caused by urinary infection 25 (27.5%), bladder tumor was detected in 45 (23.81%) cases. GH was managed conservatively in 133 (70.3%) patients, 56 (29.7%) patients underwent surgery due to GH. 13 (6.9%) patients required hemotransfusion. Etamsylatum and tranexamic acid 96 (50.8%) were the mostly used medications for GH management, while recombinant factors were used only in 3 (1.6%) patients.

Conclusions: The present survey shows that the almost 70% of patients with GH do not require surgery or hemotransfusion, and could be discharged within 1-2 days. Very few patients are administered recombinant factors as a hemostatic therapy. More active recombinant factors administration may potentially decrease surgery and hemotransfusion rates. Patients with bladder tumor have highest risk to undergo surgery.
