Abstract
Hematuria may suggest bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma, UUT-UCC, or urinary tract stones. Therefore, it is of interest to use Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) to determine the cause of hematuria in children and connect MDCT results with cystoscopic and histological findings. The study included 110 young people under 40 with microscopic or macroscopic hematuria. A clinical exam and complete history were recorded. MDCT data from non-contrast and contrast-enhanced scans were properly documented. Histopathological and cystoscopic findings were noted alongside MDCT data when appropriate. The study's typical patient was 26 years old, 66% male. Eighty of the cases had hematuria as the cause. In 66 of 80 individuals, renal or ureteric calculi were the most common clinically relevant outcomes. There were four renal and four UB masses. Two cases of renal papillary necrosis and four of pyelonephritis/renal abscess were identified. MDCT diagnosed renal and vesical masses 100% accurately. MDCT can diagnose and treat hematuria, especially in young men, according to one study. The findings emphasize clinical awareness and targeted diagnosis. Further research is needed to determine hematuria causes and prevention across demographics.
