Abstract

Hematuria can signify serious disease such as bladder cancer, upper urinary tract urothelial cell cancer (UUT-UCC), renal cell cancer or urinary tract stones. Objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyse the main role of CT urography in case of haematuria. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Department of Urology University College of Medicine, University of Lahore during January 2020 to June 2021. The data was collected from 50 patients of haematuria from the OPD of the hospital. The patients was undergo CECT examination after obtaining detailed clinical history. Results: The data was collected from 50 patients. There were 38 females and 12 males. The most common cause of obstructive uropathy was stone disease i.e. renal, ureteric or both and 75.0% patients in group A and 65.0% in group B, presented with it followed by other causes i.e. carcinomas, pyonephrosis and PUJ obstruction. Conclusion: It is concluded that multidetector CT urography detects the entire spectrum of urinary tract pathologies causing haematuria with high accuracy.
