AI Article Synopsis
- The study involved 659 adult volunteers who were assessed through renal sonography and urine tests for hematuria using a dipstick.
- 5% of participants tested positive for hematuria, with abnormal renal findings in both hematuria-positive (10%) and hematuria-negative (8%) groups.
- The findings indicate that using dipstick hematuria testing in mass-screening programs may not effectively identify structural renal abnormalities.
Article Abstract
The present study presents data from a population study of 659 randomly selected adult volunteers. All participants had a renal sonographic examination and at the same time had their urine tested for hematuria by dipstick. Thirty participants (5%) had dipstick hematuria. Similar rats of abnormal renal findings were obtained in the hematuria-positive and hematuria-negative groups, 10% and 8%, respectively. Our results suggest that dipstick investigation for hematuria in mass-screening programs is not effective for the detection of structural renal abnormalities.
