title: [Hematuria and diagnostic procedures].
abstract: In the past ten years the strategies for evaluation of hematuria seem to have quite changed. Lately published articles show diverging opinion especially concerning the value of IVP and sonography. We propose an evaluation procedure with regard to the practitioner and the everyday routine using urinalysis including search for dysmorphic erythrocytes and cytology, sonography, IVP and cystourethroscopy for screening. Sonography and IVP are in our opinion complementary tests regarding accuracy of screening the renal parenchyma and the urothelial channel respectively. and the urothelial channel respectively. Other tests are used only specifically for detailed information about pathological findings during evaluation.
