ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the
frequency of urological carcinomas in patients with gross haematuria.
Study Design: Prospective study
Place and Duration: Swat Urology Ward Saidu Group of
Teaching Hospital, Swat for the duration of six months from 1st April 2021 to
31st September 2021.
Material and Methods: There were one hundred and forty five
patients with ages 20-55 years were presented in this study. All the included
patients had blood in urine.After receiving informed written permission,
detailed demographic information about the recruited patients, including age,
gender, body mass index, and causes of haematuria, was compiled.Urine cytology
and microscopy were used to rule out the presence of malignant cells in
haematuria. Every time a cystoscopy or computed tomography (CT) scan was needed
to monitor the health of our patients, we sent them for an ultrasound.Frequency
of urological carcinomas was calculated. SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze all of
the data in the study.
Results:There were 90 (62.1%) males and 55 (37.9%)
females in our study. Mean age of the patients was 41.8±5.54 years with mean
BMI 24.5±4.76 kg/m2. 80 (55.2%) patients were literate. Most common
cause was urinary tract infection found in 50 (34.5%) cases, trauma in 45
(31.03%), urolithiasis in 30 (20.7%) cases and smoking in 20 (13.8%)
patients. Prevalence of urological carcinoma was found in 27 (18.6%) cases.
Conclusion:We found a significant incidence of
urological carcinomas in our research. Gross haematuria was most often caused
by urinary tract infection or trauma.
