Abstract
Our results show that MH is common in patients with HHT. This might indicate the possibility of weak urinary tract bleeding due to telangiectases and/or small arteriovenous fistulas, which are typical HHT lesions. Therefore, HHT should be considered among the causes of MH. Urinalysis should always be performed when there is severe anemia in HHT patients with HHT, particularly those without other apparent bleeding sites.
