Abstract

Background: Hematuria can indicate serious diseases such as bladder cancer, upper urinary tract urothelial cell carcinoma (UUT-UCC), renal cell cancer, or urinary tract stones. Aim and Objective:To study the role of CT urography in haematuria in terms of diagnosis. Material and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Radio-Diagnosis, Mayo Institute of Medical Sciences, Gadia, Barabanki. The data was collected from 60 patients with Haematuria from the OPD of the hospital. The patient underwent a CT examination after obtaining a detailed clinical history. Results: In the present study, the most common age group presented with hematuria was between 30 and 40 years old and constituted about 38.33% of the total number of cases. In this study, there was a male (43) preponderance over females (17). The most common cause of hematuria in the present study was urolithiasis, which contributed to 40% of total cases. The most common location of urolithiasis is the ureteric. Conclusion: The CT scan capabilities are highly accurate and specific in detecting the causes of haematuria . It can demonstrate the exact site of involvement in a very high percentage of cases. In addition to haematuria, multidetector computed tomography can detect various associated and incidental findings that may not be suspected clinically.
