GU Flashcards
GU radiology guidance - use what 1st?
1L - U/S (cant detect scars however)
2L - VCUG (voiding cysourethrogram - reflux/urethra)
3L - CT/MRI - kidney structure/Fx
4L - Radionuclide studies (Kidney size, scars, Fx)
UTI occurs MC in what pop?
Girls
Boys if uncircumcised
S/S of neonate w/ UTI?
FTT, fever, feeding problems (No localizing S/S)
S/S of 1mo-2yo w/ UTI?
FTT, Fever, feeding problem, - N/V/D
S/S of >2yo w/ UTI?
Classic S/S
- Urgency/frequency
- Dysuria
- ABD pain or Back pain
Suspect UTI in all?
Infants/children w/ unexplained fever OR congenital urinary anomalies
UTI Dx requires what?
> 50k CFU and pyuria = infant/young
100k CFU and pyuria = Older/Adolescents
AND
UA - leukocyte esterase AND nitrite
Best way to collect UA in PEDs?
Transurethral cath
GOLD standard of UA Cx results for Dx?
> 50k CFU + pyuria - cath specimen
100k CFU (older/adolescent PEDs)
1-50k CFU if suprapubic tap (RPT Cx otherwise)
TXT of UTI?
PO Abx - Older PEDs and not Ill w/ POS UA Cx
Parenteral Abx - Toxic/dehydrated
Duration of Parenteral Abx for TXT of UTI?
Neonates - 10-14d
Older - 7-14d
When should F/U be made for UTI after initiation of Abx?
2d - assess improvement or not - REEVAL if not
When is RAD warranted for assessment of UTI?
Renal/Bladder U/S for
- ALL boys w/ UTI
- Girls depending on severity
IF U/S is ABNL what is next step of care?
VCUG (voiding cystourethogram)
Purpose of VCUG?
Eval recurrent UTI - despite NL U/S
Visualize for +- vesicoureteral reflux
Likelihood of VUR being present depends on?
The younger the pt the more likely
What is VUR?
Retrograde flow from bladder up to ureter or kidney
Causes of VUR?
Congenital (UVJ) Ureterovesical Jx incompetence Outlet Obstruction (acquired or cystitis)
VUR is classified how?
Graded on how far reflux reached GU
I – Ureter only
II – Ureter, pelvis, calyx - NO Dilation
III – U/P/C - Mild/Mod Dil/Tortuosity - (Slt blunt fornices)
IV – U/P/C - Mod Dil/Toruosity - (Fornice angles gone - but maintains papillary impressions)
V – U/P/C - gross dilation/toruosity w/ fornice angles gone and papillary impression loss)
VUR mgmt?
Grade I/II - resolves w/out surgery
High grade VUR or recurrent UTI = Prph Abx
What procedure is used to correct VUR?
Dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Mild/mod)
Controversial
Complications of VUR?
HTN
CKD
Nephrotic syndrome attributes?
NO BLOOD in urine Heavy proteinuria (ALB mostly) >2g/24h (UA up) HO-proteinemia (Blood down) HYP-Cholesterolemia Edema
What lab/cell marker ass/w nephrotic syndrome?
HLA
Nephrotic syndrome pathophys?
Increased GFR permeability > Proteins leak out - (Increased UA/ decreased blood) > Reduced plasma oncotic pressure > Fluid to interstitial spaces > Decreased volume in BVs activates RAAS > Increases NaCl reabsorption AND Hypoproteinemia increases hepatic lipoprotein synth > Liver makes ALB and Lipids > Hypercholesterolemia
Nephrotic syndrome classified how?
Primary
Secondary
Types of primary nephrotic syndrome?
(MCNS) - Minimal change Nephrotic syndrome
(FSGS) - Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy
MC form of Nephrotic syndrome?
MCNS
MCNS presents as?
No hematuria
Renal insufficiency
HTN
HO-Complementemia (NOT C3 tho)
Which primary Nephrotic syndrome is ass/w persistence/renal failure over time?
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Which primary Nephrotic syndrome is ass/w systemic infections in adolescents/children?
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy
Standout 2ndy Nephrotic syndrome causes?
SLE
HSP
DM
Nephrotic syndrome presents as?
Sudden onset - pitting edema or ascites (MC)
Anorexia, Malaise, Abd pain
HTN > Decline in ALB and Volume > HOTN
Diarrhea
Respiratory distress - (Pulm edema or Pleural effusion)
MC S/S of Nephrotic syndrome?
Sudden onset - pitting edema or ascites
Dx of Nephrotic syndrome?
2-3 random UA - w/ 2+ protein on each
UA protein/creatinine ratio >0.2 1st AM UA
>2 nephrotic range proteinuria
Low blood - protein/albumin
24h UA protein >50
Fasting cholesterol - still HYP-cholesterol/lipid
HO-complement C3 (Not w/ MCNS)
What Rads are indicated for Nephrotic syndrome?
Renal Bx (not if MCNS) Renal U/S
TXT of MCNS?
Prednisone w/out renal Bx (12w)
Edema - Salt restriction - Loop diuretics
HTN - BB or CCB - ACEI if refract HTN
Immunosupressives - refract Nephrotic syndrome
TXT of all other primary Nephrotic syndrome?
Renal Bx 1st > CCS (prednisones
Edema - Salt restric/loop diuretics
HTN - BB/CCB/ACEI (refract)
Immunosuppresives - refract Nephrotic syndrome
Cardinal features of Glomerulonephritis
BLOOD in urine Oliguria Proteinuria HTN Edema Renal insufficiency
Types of Glomerulonephritis?
IgA nephropathy (Bergers disease)
Hereditary Nephritis (Alport syndrome)
Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Rapidly progressive Glomerulonephritis
MC type of CHRONIC Glomerulonephritis?
IgA nephropathy (Bergers disease)
