Abstract
To present a problem-based algorithm in the work-up of patients with Hematuria. Since the 2010 Dutch Guideline on Hematuria was problem-based, this served as an illustration for such an approach.. The work-up of hematuria should be individualized and risk-based. Given the a priori low likelihood of cancer in hematuria, risk categories should be established and imaging algorithms should be tailored to populations at low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk for developing urothelial cancer.
