Abstract

A descriptive study was conducted in Zain Al-Abidin and Al-Hussein Al-Turki Hospital-based cross-sectional, and The main objective is to determine the accuracy of computed tomography examination in the case of hematuria in hemorrhaging. This study was conducted on 50 patients, the age group between 20-75 years, including males and females, in the period of November 2022 to March 2023. All patients suffering from urinary bladder hematuria who were referred for CT scans at the Radiology department. Haematuria is a medical term utilised to describe the presence of blood in the urine, which could indicate an underlying medical condition and is an alarming symptom. It is imperative to identify the cause of haematuria by undergoing various tests to ensure the appropriate treatment. Haematuria is categorised into two types: gross haematuria, where blood is visible to the naked eye, and microscopic haematuria, where blood is only detectable under a microscope. The total number of patients were (50) including females (31) and males (19), and their age was ranged from (20_75 to) years. All patients were investigated by CT SCAN to evaluate the ability of this device in the diagnosis of bladder hematuria. In our study on 50 patients with hematuria in the bladder, where they were divided according to the most common diseases of hematuria and the less common diseases of hematuria, it was found that this disease affects females (31) more than males (19), and this is not consistent with previous studies that It showed that the percentage of males is more than females because of prostate enlargement, urinary tract infections, bladder infections, kidney infections, bladder or kidney stones, bladder or kidney trauma, and some medications. It was found that this disease affects the average age from 40-49 years, and this study It was consistent with previous research and studies that proved to infect the Middle Ages due to an enlarged prostate gland and a urinary tract infection
