Q

Prostate Cancer symptoms

A
  • can be asymptomatic until later in the disease
  • First symptom may be bone pain…metastases
  • Hematuria
  • Hematospermia
  • Weight loss
  • Fatigue

DRE = indurated, hard nodules, asymmetric

24
Q

PSA recommendation per American Cancer Society

A
  • offer annually for average risk men > 50 yo, up until 76 yo (if > 10 year survival rate)
  • DRE is controversial, but still recommended by ACS*

> 4 ng/mL can be concerning for prostate cancer…
10-20 = 50-75% chance
20 = 90% chance

25
Other PSA Testing for Prostate Cancer
- Free vs. Bound PSA = higher % bound to protein w/ cancer - PSA Density = higher density w/ cancer - PSA velocity = rate of increase over time, requires 3+ measurements over 18 mo...yearly >0.75 ng/mL increases likelihood of CA when PSA is still within normal limits
26
Imaging to assess for Prostate Cancer
- CT, MRI, or transrectal U/S | - Bone scan for mets
27
When should you refer someone to urology for BPH or suspected prostate cancer?
- PSA > 7 - Any rise in PSA while taking Fenasteride - Abnormal DRE regardless of PSA - Severe, intolerable symptoms of BPH
28
Management of Prostate Cancer
Depends on stage, life expectancy, pt preference - Radical prostatectomy if life expectancy >10 yrs - Radiation - Hormone therapy - chemotherapy
29
BPH management options
Lifestyle = avoid caffeine, alcohol, foods or meds that will make it worse -- ex: cold & allergy meds, diuretics Drugs for mild-to-moderate symptoms - alpha blockers = Tamsulosin, Doxazosin - 5-alpha reductase inhibitors = Finasteride - Tadalafil = BPH + ED If unresponsive to medical therapies = TURP
30
______ & _____ drugs will reduce PSA, causing a falsely low reading
Dutasteride & Finasteride 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors block conversion of testosterone to DHT...reduce size of prostate
31
MCC of Pyelonephritis
Gram neg bacilli (95%) - Ecoli - Klebsiella
32
Triad of Pyelonephritis symptoms
-Fever -Tachycardia -Flank pain +UTI symptoms (dysuria, frequency, urgency)
33
Lab work up for Pyelonephritis
- Urinalysis = pyuria + leuks + WBC casts + microheme - Urine culture - Urine HCG if childbearing age
34
Imaging for Pyelonephritis
*Most do not require imaging* If no sign of improvement within 72 hours = CT Complicated pt w/ hx of urologic problems = CT CT looking for hydronephrosis, stone, anatomic abnormalities, abscess, etc.
35
Treatment for Pyelonephritis
Uncomplicated = Ceftriaxone IM + Fluro (Cipro or Levo) if cannot tolerate fluoro...Bactrim or Augmentin 875
36
When should you admit a patient with Pyelonephritis?
- Bacteremia - Inability to tolerate oral fluids - Immunocompromised - Pregnant** IV Cipro/Levo, Zosyn, Carbapenem etc.
37
Complications of Pyelonephritis
- renal abscess formation - Sepsis - Papillary necrosis - Acute renal failure * Emphysematous pyelonephritis*- necrotizing infxn - seen in diabetics
38
Distribution of Pyelonephritis in females & males
Females trimodal = 0-4; 15-35; >50 yo males bimodal = 0-4; >35 yo *Women are 5x more likely to be hospitalized*
39
What is the most important risk factor for a Complicated UTI?
**Urinary tract obstruction** - Sexual intercourse...esp with new partner - Use of spermicide - DM - Urinary incontinence
40
MC organisms for DM pt w/ Pyelonephritis
- Klebsiella - Enterobacteriaceae - Clostridia - Candida
41
Sepsis Criteria
SIRS criteria + Source of Infection SIRS = ≥ 2 - temp > 100.4 F - HR >90 - RR > 20 - WBC >12,000
42
What analgesic can be specifically helpful for patients with dysuria symptoms? (pyelo)
Pyridium (aka AZO)
43
Simple cystitis vs. Pyelo
Pyelo will have HIGHER fever, CVA tenderness, more ill appearing
44
Polycystic Kidney Disease definition
Autosomal dominant disease (PKD1 or PKD2 gene mutation) MC inherited kidney disease Leads to continual fluid-filled yst formation and growth in kidneys + other organs (liver, spleen, pancreas) Will eventually progress to ESRD
45
Common Symptoms of PCKD
Most are asymptomatic for first 3 decades of life - Gross hematuria (cyst rupture) - Flank mass/pain - Nephrolithiasis (stones) - Elevated BP (RAAS system) - Polyuria - Nocturia - Increased thirst
46
Dx of PCKD
Renal U/S Criteria by age 15 - 39 = at least 3 unilateral or bilateral cysts 40-59 = at least 2 cysts per kidney 60+ = at least 4 cysts per kidney - CBC - CMP --> BUN, Cr elevated - Urinalysis
47
Management of PCKD
HTN control = ACE....goal BP 110/75 - Restrict sodium intake - increase fluid intake >3 L per day - Pain control -- Acetaminophen *May aspirate or surgically intervene for particularly large and painful cyst
48
Patient Education of PCKD
Their kids have a 50% chance of getting it No cure -- important to follow management closely to slow disease progression
49
If PCKD progresses what treatment options exist through nephrology?
- if in ESRD = dialysis - kidney transplant - nephrectomy - aspiration of cysts
50
Extra-renal complications of PCKD
- intracranial hemorrhage leading to SAH - Diverticulosis - Aneurysms - Cardiac abnormalities = MVP, AR
51
Ovarian Torsion definition
Twisting of ovary and tube Rotation around infundibulopelvic & utero-ovarian ligament -slows venous drainage --> congestion --> Infarction
52
Which side is ovarian torsion MC on? And what age range is MC?
- Right | - Women of reproductive age
53
Dx of Ovarian Torsion
Transvaginal U/S with Doppler Flow - CBC - BMP - Urine HCG - UA - Lactic acid = looking for tissue necrosis
54
Management of Ovarian Torsion
Admit! Call OBGYN/Surgery - NPO - IV access x2 - IV Morphine 4mg - IV Zofran Surgery for immediate detorsion + cystectomy if mass is present -if post-menopausal salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended (remove ovaries & tubes)
55
How to prevent recurrence of Ovarian Torsion
-High dose oral contraceptives w/ >50 mcg estrogen | -Oophoropexy = tacking ovary to abdominal wall common in children w/ torsion
56
Pregnancy is associated with a ______ risk of ovarian torsion
Increased!
