Description

Fifteen patients with severe haematuria due to causes other than malignant disease were seen between 1981 and 1989. Arteriography was done in an attempt to treat these patients with superselective embolization. In 7 patients, the cause of bleeding was due to injuries of iatrogenic origin and of the remaining 8, 2 had been in a car accident, 2 had knife stabwounds, 3 angiomatous malformations and 1 tuberous sclerosis. Twelve of the 15 patients were treated successfully with superselective embolization with steel coils. We consider angiography followed by superselective embolization to be the method of choice for the diagnosis and treatment of haematuria due to renal injury or other benign conditions. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

In der Zeit von 1981 bis 1989 wurden 15 Patienten mit schwerer, nicht durch maligne Erkrankung verursachter Haematurie untersucht. Beim Therapieversuch mit superselektiver Embolisation wurde bei 7 Patienten eine Angiographie durchgefuehrt, wobei iatrogene Blutungen auftraten; von den uebrigen 8 Patienten hatten 2 einen Autounfall, 2 wiesen Verwundungen durch Messerstiche auf, 3 angiomatoese Missbildungen, 1 Patient litt an tuberoeser Sklerose. Bei 12 von 15 Patienten war der Therapieversuch (Embolisation mittels Stahlspirale) erfolgreich. Die Autoren sind der Auffassung, dass Angiographie mit anschliessender superselektiver Embolisation zur Diagnose und Behandlung von Haematurien aufgrund von Nierenverletzungen oder anderer gutartiger Ursachen die Methode der Wahl ist.
