Abstract

Tranexamic acid has been advocated for patients with severe bleeding tendency due to thrombocytopenia not responding to platelet transfusions. Macroscopic haematuria is a well-known contraindication for its use in such patients. We present three clinical cases with microscopic haematuria, in whom tranexamic acid caused problems of clot formation in the urinary tract, indicating that microscopic haematuria should also be considered as a contraindication for tranexamic acid
