Overview

Other imaging studies for hematuria include intravenous urography and endoscopy.[1]

Other Imaging Findings

Intravenous Urography (IVU)

Advantages

  • IVU is good at detecting abnormalities of the urothelium (UCC of the ureter and renal pelvis) and stones.[2]

Disadvantages

  • Poor at detecting small renal parenchymal lesions that do not distort the renal outline.
  • It cannot distinguish cystic from solid masses.

Endoscopy/ Fluoroscopy

Advantages

  • Used to investigate intravenous urography filling defects and to treat stones.
  • In patient with continued undiagnosed hematuria, this can be used to collect urine or brushings from each ureter, allowing cytology to determine the site of bleeding and the presence of very small tumors of carcinoma in-situ.[3]

Disadvantages

  • Requires general anaesthesia for the procedure.
