Abstract
Kidney stone is a common cause of acute pain in the abdomen in patients presenting to casualty. Being present in roughly 12% of the world's population makes it the most prevalent pathology of the urinary system. The ureters, kidneys, and bladder frequently develop calculi, resulting in hematuria. The most effective imaging technique for evaluating calculi is unenhanced helical computed tomography. The population, intervention, control, and outcomes (PICO)-formatted question was used to generate methodological medical subject heading (MeSH) phrases, which increased the search strategy's sensitivity in finding research. Some of these names ("hematuria") included "renal calculi" (MeSH) and "cone-beam computed tomography" (MeSH). Studies that satisfied these requirements were subjected to critical evaluation. The merits of the listed studies were evaluated using a unique quality assessment scale. The most accurate imaging diagnostic test for people with hematuria is multidetector computed tomography. If a patient over 40 presents with microscopic hematuria, a non-contrast computed tomography or ultrasound study should be performed, and if gross hematuria is observed, cystoscopy should be added. Pre- and post-contrast computed tomography scans and cystoscopy should be carried out on elderly patients.
