Comparing Air and Liquid During Bladder Inspection for Blood in Urine
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two different methods—using air versus liquid—during a bladder camera procedure to see which gives doctors a better view when you have visible blood in your urine. The goal is to find the safest and clearest way to diagnose what's causing the bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have visible blood in your urine (not just traces) that appeared or continued within 48 hours of hospital admission

This study looks at a simple urine test to see if it can help tell who might have bladder cancer when there is invisible blood in the urine. It is for people over 40 who have had this finding recently.
This trial tests if we can safely skip a bladder camera test (cystoscopy) for people who have microscopic blood in their urine. If you meet certain criteria, you may not need the procedure.
This study tests whether a special urine testing approach can better identify and sort risk in people (especially veterans) who were referred to urology for blood in the urine. It may help doctors decide who needs more urgent follow-up and which next steps to take.
This study looks at whether women over 50 with visible blood in their urine need extra tests after a bladder infection. It aims to find out if they need a camera test (cystoscopy) to check for cancer.
This study tests a new urine test called Cxbladder Triage Plus. The goal is to see if using this test can help some people avoid an unnecessary cystoscopy (a scope placed into the bladder) when they have invisible blood in their urine.
This trial is testing a urine test called Bladder EpiCheck to see if it can help find bladder cancer in people who have blood in their urine. You would give a urine sample and then have a standard cystoscopy as part of your care.
