Does labetalol tablets for high blood pressure cause chronic microscopic hematuria . I wan't to know because i read about labetalol tablets and i read about the side effects they cause it said that labetalol cause easy bruising and ashma symptoms and bleeding.Do you think that the labetalol tablets that i have been taking for 21 years for my high blood could have caused my chronic microscopic hematuria.

	Answer by Dr Noopur S, MD (doctor) on Thu 08, Jan 2009 05:33am: Hi, Thanks for writing in. Microscopic hematuria is seen in patient with hypertension especially when there is kidney damage.Glomerulonephritis can occur in long standing hypertension which is manifested as microscopic hematuria. This usually indicates a chronic kidney disease. I would suggest you to get a urological evaluation done to rule out kidney diseases. Let us know if you need more information.
