Oxybutynin (Ditropan XL)
Solifenacin (Vesicare)

25
Q

26
Q

Causes of hematuria

A

Isolated- bleed anywhere from renal pelvis to the urethra.
RBC casts- injury to nephron.
Gross hematuria- acute cystitis, urethritis.
Proteinuria and hematuria- glomerular or interstitial nephritis.
Colicky flank pain- urethral stones

27
Q

Meds/foods that may cause hematuria or act as bladder irritants

A

Meds- beta-lactam antibiotics, sulfonamides, NSAIDS, rifampin, cipro, zyloprim, Tagamet, Dilantin, anticoagulants.
Foods- caffeine, spices, chocolate, ETOH, citrus, soy sauce

28
Q

Causes of proteinuria

A

If more than 2g in 24 hrs, glomerular cause is most likely.
Benign functional- orthostatic proteinuria, environmental conditions, fever, acute illness.
*When found in a low-risk patient, urine should be tested for Bence-Jones protein (associated with multiple myeloma)

29
Q

Proteinuria 3-3.5 g/day is inductive of what condition?

A

Nephrotic syndrome

30
Q

Nephrotic syndrome definition

A

Syndrome in which protein is lost through the kidney (proteinuria), this causes low protein in the blood (hypoalbuminemia), this causes water to shift to soft tissue (edema).
*refer to nephrology

31
Q

Pyelonephritis definition

A

Upper UTI, infection of the kidney, characterized by infection within the renal pelvis, tubules or interstitial tissue.
Acute- infection ascending from the bladder
Chronic- usually no specific pathological explanation

32
Q

UA findings with pyelonephritis

A

Positive bacteria, proteinuria, leukocyte esterase, urinary nitrates, hematuria, pyuria, and WBC casts.

33
Q

What finding can help differentiate pyelonephritis from cystitis?

A

WBC casts. This is seen with pyelonephritis and it indicates inflammation of the kidney- such casts will not form except in the kidney.

34
Q

What “zone” does BPH develop? CA develop?

A

BPH- transitional zone

Prostate CA- peripheral zone

35
Q

BPH diagnostics

A

UA to rule out infection (prostatitis)
PSA- usually less than 10ng/ml
Urine cytology should be performed to rule out carcinoma particularly when hematuria is present

36
Q

BPH sx

A 
Nocturia
Urine frequency
Urgency/dysuria
Urge incontinence/retention 
Decreased force of stream 
Hesitancy 
Post-void dribbling
37
Q

BPH treatment

A

Alpha1-adrenergic agonists (Minipress, Hytrin, Cardura)

Subtype alpha1a- adrenergic receptor targets (Flomax, Uroxatral)

5-alpha reductase inhibitors (Proscar, Avodart)

38
Q

A 
BG to rule out DM 
Lipid profile 
TSH

45

T2DM, CAD, Metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance, 2.7 fold increased risk of endometrial CA, mood disorders (anxiety/depression)

46
Q

Management of PCOS

A
