Objective To determine the diagnosis method for an elderly male patient with hematuria by means of evidence-based practice, so as to provide references for clinical diagnosis. Method We searched databases including PubMed, EMbase, and The Cochrane Library up to Nov. 2014, to collect relevant diagnostic evidence for elderly patients with hematuria. Results Compared with MRI, CT had higher sensitivity and specificity in determination of lesion location in where the hematuria was caused by tumor. Conclusions CT scan may be better for patients with hematuria to determine the location of lesion.
