Description
Simone Sim and Shahzad Ahmad audit how well scans find the cause of visible blood in urine at one UK hospital, in a paper from 2025. Blood that can be seen in urine is a common warning sign of urinary cancer. New national guidance favors ultrasound first and reserves CT scans for high risk patients, to cut radiation and cost.
Their hospital still gave a CT scan to every such patient with sound kidneys. The audit covered all patients sent to a nurse led phone clinic over three months in 2025. Records gave ages, risk factors, camera exam results, and scan findings. The team then judged how much the scans actually found. The results feed a review of the local pathway against the greener national guidance.
