OBJECTIVE: To assess the contribution of a plain X-ray of the kidney, ureters and bladder (KUB) to the assessment of patients presenting with symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients presenting to the 'Prostate' clinic at Weston General Hospital during the 12 months from 1 May 1993 to 30 April 1994 were assessed clinically by a history, examination and routine investigations that included a KUB examined and reported by a radiologist. Patients were followed and treatment instituted as deemed appropriate. The contribution made to the management of the patient by the KUB was assessed.
RESULTS: Of the 292 patients, 234 had no relevant abnormality detected: four patients had evidence of a bladder calculus, whilst in four osteosclerotic areas were noted on the pelvis and lumbar spine. Of the remainder, 14 (5%) had upper urinary tract calcification. In no patients did the KUB influence their immediate management. Those with asymptomatic upper tract stones were offered a yearly follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: The routine use of the KUB as a means of investigating lower urinary tract symptoms in the male may no longer be necessary.
