What Could Be The Possible Cause For A Specialist To Suggest A CAT Scan Of Kidney And Bladder?

What would be the possible cause for a specialist to suggest a cat scan of kidney and bladder? I think on the form for the ct scan, it said gross hemorrhage of bladder. He said the bladder looked very infected. Nervous, I am... my family has lots of cancer, including kidney and pancreatic.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Your urinary bladder is very much infected and it leads to hemorrhage.
Your doctor wants to know complete status of Kidney,ureter,Urinary bladder (KUB region)as any of the mentioned sites can be the origin of infection.
You doctor also wants to see complications of infection and functions of kidney which can be assessed by CT Scan.
This is the reason for advising CT Scan of abdomen.
It is not related to cancer history in your family.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
