TLDR
Between March 1976 and June 1985, 1,000 consecutive adults with asymptomatic gross or microscopic hematuria in the absence of proteinuria were evaluated urologically, finding a significant finding and warrants evaluation from a risk-benefit and cost- effectiveness standpoint.About:

Urinalysis: A Comprehensive Review
TL;DR: A complete urinalysis includes physical, chemical, and microscopic examinations, and specific gravity provides a reliable assessment of the patient's hydration status.

Guidelines on Bladder Cancer
Willem Oosterlinck,Bernard Lobel,Gerhard Jakse,Per-Uno Malmström,Michael Stöckle,Cora N. Sternberg +5 more
TL;DR: Recommendations are developed for diagnosis for bladder cancer in general, treatment of superficial and infiltrative bladder cancer, and follow-up after different types of treatment modalities, such as intravesical instillations, radical cystectomy, urinary diversions, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective analysis of 1,930 patients with hematuria to evaluate current diagnostic practice.
TL;DR: It is suggested that cystoscopy cannot be safely avoided even in younger patients with microscopic hematuria and only a combination of ultrasound and IVP detected all upper tract tumors.

Detection of bladder cancer using a point-of-care proteomic assay.
H. Barton Grossman,Edward M. Messing,Mark S. Soloway,Kevin Tomera,Giora Katz,Yitzhak Berger,Yu Shen +6 more
TL;DR: The noninvasive point-of-care assay for elevated urinary NMP22 protein can increase the accuracy of cystoscopy, with test results available during the patient visit.

Diagnostic tests and algorithms used in the investigation of haematuria: systematic reviews and economic evaluation
Mark Rodgers,John Nixon,Susanne Hempel,Tevita F. Aho,John D. Kelly,David E. Neal,Steven Duffy,G Ritchie,Jos Kleijnen,Marie Westwood +9 more
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that urine cytology has no application in ruling out malignancy or excluding patients from further investigation and the economic model for the detection of microhaematuria found that immediate microscopy following a positive dipstick test would improve diagnostic efficiency as it eliminates the high number of false positives produced by dipstick testing.

The Role of Anesthesia in Surgical Mortality
TL;DR: The role of anesthesia in contributing to surgical mortality has been studied in 33,224 patients given either spinal anesthesia or a general anesthetic to which muscle relaxants were added, and when deaths were related to the use of muscle relaxant, errors of omission or commission were always apparent.

Asymptomatic Microhematuria and Urologic Disease: A Population-Based Study
TL;DR: The frequency of serious urologic disease in patients with asymptomatic microhematuria was 2.3%; only 0.5% had bladder or renal cell carcinoma and there was a trend toward more serious diseases in those with higher grades of hematuria.
Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of the complications of percutaneous retrograde arteriography: seldinger technic.
TL;DR: The present paper attempts to arrive at a comparable estimate of the dangers of percutaneous retrograde arteriography.

Renal Injury Associated with Intravenous Pyelography in Nondiabetic and Diabetic Patients
TL;DR: Pyelography cannot be considered absolutely safe for nondiabetic patients at risk of renal functional deterioration after intravenous pyelography, and alternative diagnostic procedures or caution with contrast dosage and patient preparation may be wise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptomatic Microscopic Hematuria
TL;DR: A method of following patients with unexplained microhematuria that may clarify the implications of this disorder is proposed.
