Abstract
Haemorrhagic cystitis following radiotherapy is fortunately relatively uncommon. When it does present it represents a therapeutic challenge. We have managed 14 patients with haemorrhagic cystitis of varying severity with sodium pentosanpolysulphate. Complete control of haematuria was achieved in 10 patients and partial control in 3 patients. This medication is effective, safe and merits further investigation.
