  1. Imaging in Haematuria Dr. Jaswinder Singh Consultant Radiologist West Hertfordshire Trust Hospitals

  2. Types of haematuria • Visible haematuria (VH): also called macroscopic haematuria or gross haematuria. • Non-visible haematuria (NVH): also called microscopic haematuria or dipstick positive haematuria: • Symptomatic non-visible haematuria (s-NVH): associated symptoms include voiding lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS): hesitancy, frequency, urgency, dysuria. • Asymptomatic non-visible haematuria (a-NVH): incidental detection in the absence of LUTS or upper urinary tract symptoms.

  3. Significant haematuria is defined as: • Any single episode of VH. • Any single episode of s-NVH (in absence of UTI or other transient causes). • Persistent a-NVH (in absence of UTI or other transient causes). Persistence is defined as 2 out of 3 dipsticks positive for NVH.

  4. Investigations and management Transient causes need to be excluded • All children with haematuria should be referred. • All definite haematuria, whether macroscopic or microscopic, requires investigation. • Patients on anticoagulants should also be investigated.

  5. NICE referral guideline The NICE Cancer Referral Guidelines recommend urgent referral for: • Patients of any age with painless macroscopic haematuria. • Aged 40 years and older who present with recurrent or persistent urinary tract infection associated with haematuria. • Aged 50 years and older who are found to have unexplained microscopic haematuria. • With an abdominal mass identified clinically or on imaging that is thought to arise from the urinary tract.

  6. Joint Consensus Statement on the Initial Assessment of HaematuriaPrepared on behalf of the Renal Association and British Association of Urological Surgeons.Issue date July 2008

  7. Imaging protocol Painless Haematuria Macroscopic Microscopic must be proven (i.e. on microscopy) & negative MSU Age<50 Age> 50 CTE CTE USRE further imaging only at specialist request
