| Popis: | We evaluated multiphasic helical computed tomography for the detection and characterization of lesions responsible for hematuria not diagnosed on prior urological surveillance studies.A total of 393 men and 207 women with recurrent microscopic hematuria but negative urological surveillance studies were examined at 4 participating institutions by multiphasic helical computerized tomography, consisting of pre-enhancement, arterial corticomedullary, parenchymal and excretory phase sequences generating 2 to 5 mm slices through the kidney and lower pelvis.The cause of microscopic hematuria was established in 256 of 600 patients with prior negative urological surveillance examinations with 0.91 sensitivity and 0.94 specificity. The diagnosis was correct in all subsequently proven cases of calculous and renal vascular disease. A total of 67 of 70 inflammatory kidney lesions, 24 of 25 renal neoplasms, 15 of 16 bladder neoplasms, 27 of 35 inflammatory bladder conditions and 21 of 23 ureteral lesions were also correctly diagnosed. The diagnosis of renal medullary and papillary necrosis, and neoplastic lesions of the kidney and bladder allowed the early institution of medical therapy or appropriate surgery.Multiphasic helical computerized tomography diagnosed lesions responsible for microhematuria in 42.6% of 600 patients with negative urological surveillance examinations. This relatively low cost and low co-morbidity examination is advocated for patients with negative urological surveillance examinations or even as a first examination. |
