B5-082 CBCL Hematuria Flashcards
cubiform clot is likely from the
bladder
vermiform clot is likely from the
upper urinary tract
hematuria at the start of urination may indicate
urethral/prostate issue
hematuria at termination of urination may indicate
bladder neck issue
oxidation of the indicator strip can be caused by
3
hematuria
myoglobin
providone-iodine antiseptics
confirm on centrifuged mid stream urine
definition of microscopic hematuria
greater than 3 RBC/hpf
standard work up of gross hematuria
- cystoscopy
- CT urogram or MR urography
- cytology
standard workup of microscopic hematuria depends heavily on
2
H&P
risk stratification
if a patient with microscopic hematuria is determined to be low risk
repeat urinalysis in 6 months
or cystography/US
if a patient with microscopic hematuria is determined to be intermediate risk
cystoscopy and renal US
if a patient with microscopic hematuria is determined to be high risk
cystoscopy and CT urogram
factors that differentiate low risk vs high risk microscopic hematuria
4
- age
- smoking status
- number of RBC/hpf
- relevant history
abnormal urinalysis after strenous exercise
exercise induced hematuria
non glomerular medical
- gross hematuria, CT shows filling defect
- flank pain, AA, analgesic abuse, diabetes
papillary necrosis
non glomerular medical
- renal stones on CT, IVP showing pathopneumonic brush stroke papilla
- flank pain, recurrent UTIs, urolithiasis
medullary sponge kidney
non glomerular medical
family history of renal cystic disease
PKD
non glomerular medical
- renal artery embolus, vein thrombus, AV fistula
- a fib, dehydration, bruit
renovascular disease
non glomerular medical
- urine dipstick + for nitrates, positive urine culture, leukocytosis
- dysuria, fever
UTI
non glomerular surgical
- CT scan demonstrating stone, hydronephrosis
- flank/groin pain, nausea/vomiting, fever
urolithiasis
non glomerular surgical
- demonstrated on CT, cystoscopy, ureteroscopy
- constitutional symptoms, blood clots, pain
urologic malignancy
non glomerular surgical
- enlarged prostate on DRE
- obstructive urinary symptoms
BPH
non glomerular surgical
- friable tissue on cystoscopy
- history of pelvic radiation
radiation cystitis
non glomerular surgical
- demonstrated on retrograde urethrogram
- obsructive urinary
urethal stricture
non glomerular surgical
does anticoagulation therapy cause denovo hematuria?
no
however, can worsen it
if a dipstick is positive, must be confirmed with
microscopic analyisis of urine
chemotherapy that can cause hematuria
2
- mitotane
- cyclophosphamide
common risk factors for urinary tract malignancy in patients with microscopic hematuria
- over 35 years old
- analgesic abuse
- exposure to benzenes or aromatic amines
- male
- smoking
- history of irritation to GU tract
upper tract imaging of choice
CT urogram
lower urinary tract test of choice
cystoscopy
patients that catheterize themselves or elderly women may have
asymptomatic bacteriuria
colonization
infection associated with anatomical/functional abnormality of the urinary tract, immunocompromised host, or MDR bacteria
complicated UTI
type P fimbriae is most commonly associated with
pyelonephritis
pathogen commonly causing UTIs in women of childbearing age
staph. sapro
best way to assure your getting urine from the bladder for urinalysis
catheterization
greater than 10 WBC/hpf is most sensitive for
pyuria
UTI
management of uncomplicated UTI
nitrofurantoin x 5 days OR
TMP/SMX x 3 days
nitrofurantoin should not be used to treat
complicated UTI
how long should complicated UTI be treated for?
2 weeks
most common type of stone
calcium oxalate
precipitates with hypocitraturia
calcium oxalate
stone shaped like envelope or dumbbell
calcium oxalate
what stones can results from ethylene glycol, vitamin C over use, hypocitriuria, or malabsoprtion
calcium oxalate
treatment for calcium oxalate stones
- increase fluids
- decrease urinary calcium
- increase citrate
what stones form in acidic urine at a pH less than 6?
uric acid
rhomoid or rosette stones
uric acid
what stones are associated with a high protein diet, hyperuricemia (gout) hyperuricosuria, insulin resistance, leukemia
uric acid
treatment for uric acid stones
alkalization of urine
what type of stones are caused by urease-producing organisms
struvite
proteus causes
struvite stones
staghorn calculi
struvite stones
treatment of struvite stones
surgical removal and agressive treatment of infection
does E. coli produce urease?
no
- form in alkaline urine
- usually associated with metabolic disorders
calcium phosphate
treatment of calcium phosphate stones
manage underlying disorder
caused by AR disease cystinuria
cystine stones
in cystinuria, what 4 amino acids are unable to be transported normally?
- Cystine
- Ornithine
- Lysine
- Arginine
COLA (all dibasic)
cystine stones appear in patients that are […] for the recessive gene
homozygous
hexagonal cystals
