GU Flashcards
Urge incontinence do what first
Check UA
What is the problem with urge incontinence
Detrusor muscle over activity
Sensation proceeding urination
Age is a large risk factor ;; obesity ;; neuro ;; pregnancy
Pharm therapy two big meds for URGE incontinence
Oxybutin
Mirabegron
THINK ANTICHOLINERGIC CLASS
OVERFLOW INC. = WHAT SXS
Poor stream
Incomplete
Involuntary loss of pee
Bladder Distention
Overflow incontinence best test
Post void residual
Pee more than remaining = normal flow
Management of overflow incontinence
Self cath
Cholinergic agents = bethenachol
MC cause of hydrocele
Extension of the peritoneum from patent processes vaginalis
Open channel
is hydrocele painful
NO!
Communicating vs. non communicatin
Comm = expands with rising abdominal pressure
Non -comm = independent of abdominal pressure
Varicocele leads most commonly to what if untreated
Infertility
PAMPANIFORM PLEXUS
Is varicocele painful // does it illuminate
It can be dull ; Left is worse than the right
IT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE
Varicocele on the right =
Malignancy - abdominal mass
Definitive mangement of torsion
Surgical de torsion and orchiopexy
Tetsticular torsion has what testicular finding
Swelling in the scrotum
High riding testicle = risk factor
Reflexes lost in torsion
Cremaster = thigh ball rise
Prehn sign = rise the testicul = decrease in pain [this is not going to work in torsion]
Time to get de torsion in testicular torsion
6 hours
Epididymitis before age 35 is usually
C/G - STI
Over 35 = E. Coli
Epididymal pain is ;; U/S flow?
GRADUAL ;; slow ish
U/S = more blood flow
Epididymitis E. Coli antibiotic
FQ or Bactrim
BPH treatment of choice is
Alpha blockers -“zosin” = initial;
But Finasteride will shrink it!
Chronic bacterial prostatitis
Recurrent UTI
Usually no fever
Normal UA
At least 6 weeks
MC cause of acute cystitis
E Coli
Suprapubic discomfort think what
Cystitis
+ urine culture = how many CFUs
100,000
Complicated UTI think pregnancy think what drugs
Oral FQ or Bactrim
Pregnancy Cephalexin
how long can you use phenazopyridine
2 days
Organism in pyelo MC
E. Coli
It’s ascending infection
Type of casts in Pyelo
WBC casts ; nephron is effected.
Outpatient pyelo vs. in patient pyelo
PO FQ
In patient = IV Ceftriaxone// Cipro
Confirmatory test in pyelo
CT
MC presenting sxs of bladder cancer
Painless hematuria
Type of bladder cancer most common
Transitional cell carcinoma = 1st
Then SCC, adeno
Bladder cancer is pretty common in what job
Hair care ; because they work with chemicals
Gold standard imaging for bladder cancer
Cystoscopy
Prostate cancer most common cancer type
Adenocarcinoma
Prostate cancer most common in
AA
Most common risk factor = AGE
Prostate cancer with bone pain think what
Metastatic
What does a cancer prostate feel like ; get what for dx
Lumpy bumpy irregularly shaped
GET : BX
How do you stage prostate cancer
Gleason score
PSA screening in what ages
55-69
Men with family history of prostate cancer with AA race or have BRCA or BRCA1
Risk factors that high risk in prostate cancer
Men with family history of prostate cancer with AA race or have BRCA or BRCA1
MC type of testicular cancer
Germ cell
Testicular cancer effects what age ; what sxs
Med 15-35 ;dull to no pain with test mass ; negative illumination
2 markers elevated in testicular cancer
bHCG and AFP
MC type of kidney stone
Calcium oxalate
MC location for developing kidney stones
The UVJ = uterovesicular junction at the narrowest point
Recurrent UTI stone is what type usually
Struvite
Kidney pain is what
Sudden persistent and with hematuria
Stones = cant sit still!
Management of kidney stone
Less than 5 mm = on its own
5-10 mm less likely to pass its on its own
Initial management :
-alpha blocker
Lithotomy or Lithotripsy = definitive for large stones over 10mm
Treatment for paraphimosis commonly
Surgical reduction
Para vs. Phimosis
Para = around the base of the glands with swollen fore skin
Phimosis = cant pull the fore skin back
2 labs to understand why they have phimosis
Diabetes
A1C and Serum glucose
Which foreskin patholog you is a urological emergency
Paraphimosis
With neurogenic bladder think brain cause for
Overflow incontinence
DRE for BPH and characteristics
Smooth rubbery prostate that is symmetric
Benign tumor
FUD sxs
Management BPH
Alpha blockers
5 alpha reductase
PDE-5 - tadalafil
Surgery = TURP , Laser, Prostatectomy
What type of waste is built up in AKI
Nephrotoxic —> nitrogenous waste
6 nephrotoxins to be aware of
ACE/ARBs
NSAIDs
Lithium
Some ABX
IV contrast dye
Loop and Thiazide diuretics
Defintion of oliguria
Greater 15 mL/hour
What can detect AKI 1-2 days before Creatinine
Serum cystatin C
MC location for AKI
Pre renal
MC cause of prerenal Azotemia
Volume Depletion = (Dehydration, Burns, GI losses, Hemorrhage)
↓ Effective Circulating Volume = (CHF, Ascites, Nephrotic Syndrome)
Impaired Renal Blood Flow = (ACEI’s, NSAID’s, Renal Artery
Stenosis)
Systemic Vasodilation = (Sepsis, Vasodilatory Drugs)
Post renal Azotemia think what
BPH
Nephrolithiasis/Bladder Outlet Obstruction BILATERALLY
Endogenous vs. Exogenous causes of ATN
Endogenous = rhabdo; hemolysis
Exogenous = cisplatin , amphotericin B , contrast Dye
ischemia and sepsis
Main cause of interstitial nephritis =
Drugs = Penicillin, cephalosporins, sulfa, NSAID’s
Glomerulonephritis think what 4 causes
IgA Nephropathy
Post Strep
GPA/Goodpastures
HUS - Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
MC UA finding for ATN
Muddy brown casts
Renal tubular epithelial cells/ granular casts
ATN Labs =
BUN : Cr < 20:1
ATN treatment
Prevent Further Kidney Injury: Remove Toxins, Treat Cause
Loop Diuretics
Low protein diet
Correct electrolytes
Dialysis if necessary
Reversible unless cortical necrosis (rare and assoc with anuria)
UA and labs for Interistial nephritis ?
UA = Eosinophils and WBC casts
Labs = peripheral blood EOSINOPHILIA
think drug reaction
Assoc. with URI symptoms,(H flu), gastroenteritis
Presents with intermittent hematuria
Most common cause worldwide
IgA Nephropathy/ Bergers
Glomerulonephritis
(+) ASO Titer, ↑C3
Develops 2-6 wks post-impetigo and 1-3 wks post-strep pharyngitis
Prognosis good in children, not as good in adults
PSGN
TXM = Low protein, Low sodium diet, manage HTN,
Steroids NOT
helpful for PSGN
Good pasture syndrome treatment =
Plasma exchange
Formerly known as Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Effects small and medium sized vessels
Associated w/granuloma formation airway, lung, skin ↑ c-ANCA
Associated with URI sx’s; Rhinitis most common first symptom
GPA !
2 associations other than uremia for hemolytic uremic syndrome
Hemolytic anemia
Low platelets
Symptoms related to underlying cause
Hematuria, HTN & Edema: periorbital and scrotal edema, flank
pain
Glomeruloneprhitis
Urinalysis: Tea-colored/Coca Cola urine with Red Cell Casts,
proteinuria, hematuria
Other labs depend on cause: CBC, Complement levels, ASO
Titer, anti-GBM antibodies, ANCA, ANA
Glomerulonephritis
Glomerulonephritis can be treated with what
High dose steriods
Few Hyaline Casts, Possible RBC, No
protein
<1 Early
>1 Late
None or Trace Oligo- / Anuria
+/- HTN
Post renal Azotemia think : BPH
What metabolic waste is MC built up in CKD
Uremia
Think : Metallic taste and Edema !
Lab findings consistent with CKD
U/S Finidings ?
Renal Function: ↑ BUN/Cr, ↑ creat,↓ GFR (for 3 or more mo.)
Other lab abn: Anemia, ↑ K, ↑Phos, ↓ Ca2+ , met acidosis
Urinalysis: proteinuria
U/S may show echogenic kidneys
TXM vs. Prevention for CKD
TXM = low protein, sodium water potassium phosphate diet
Dialysis // Transplant
Prevention = Treat HTN , ACE-I or ARB to delay progression
What GFR is indicated for hemolysis and what is normal?
Hemolysis = 15
Normal = above 90
