BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic radiation cystitis (HRC) is a significant clinical problem that occurs after pelvic radiation therapy and is often refractory. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) for HRC. METHODS Daily 90 minute sessions of HBO at 2 ATM 100% oxygen were given to 32 HRC patients with ASTRO grades 3-4 hematuria. RESULTS The median age was...

BACKGROUND We determine the utility of serial urinary cytologies in patients presenting with microscopic hematuria who were evaluated with upper and lower urinary tract studies to rule out a malignancy. METHODS Two hundred and thirty-seven patients with the diagnosis of microscopic hematuria were evaluated at an inner-city tertiary care hospital. Of these 239 patients, 182 patients had 405 cy...

INTRODUCTION Visible hematuria is not rare in patients on anticoagulant therapy. There is no consensus regarding the diagnostic approach for them; some authors suggest restricted volume of diagnostic procedures because of the low number of urological etiology found. Some antibiotics have been reported to potentiate the effect of oral anticoagulants. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study addresses th...

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to assess short and mid-term clinical efficacy of external beam radiation therapy to achieve hemostasis in patients with bladder-cancer related gross hematuria who were unfit for surgery. We also assessed hypofractionation as a possible alternative option for more severe patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-two patients were included for hemostatic radiatio...

We have further explored the immunocytochemical staining method to discriminate renal and nonrenal hematuria, reported by Abrass and Laird (Am J Kidney Dis 1987;9: 44-50). After fixation on slides with acetone, erythrocytes in urine were stained with antiserum against human Tamm-Horsfall protein. Reactions were made visible by using either a fluorescent second antibody or a biotinylated second ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic performance of hematuria as a screening test for urinary bladder infiltration in cervical cancer patients with a prospective study design. MATERIALS AND METHODS Newly diagnosed cervical cancer patients at Srinagarind hospital from 14 June 2011 to 30 April 2012 were enrolled in this study.
