Disease/Condition Glossary
Ifosfamide-induced Hemorrhagic cystitis: It is a condition that causes bleeding in the urine due to the effect of anticancer agents (Ifosfamide). It occurs when an individual undergoes planned chemotherapy (for cancer treatment). During chemotherapy, an anticancer medication called 'ifosfamide' causes inflammation and bleeding of the bladder, which is passed into the urine. The colour of urine may vary from pink to red in colour.
