name 4 features of kidney dysfunction
- Fatigue
- anemia
- Uremia
- elevated creatinine
Pt in long-term use of NSAID and aspirin-caffeine causes analgesic nephropathy due to
inhibition of prostacyclin production - shrunken kidneys with irregular contours and capillary calcifications
Initial hematuria, cleared by the end of the stream is
hematuria from urethral origin (or prostate)
The tx of choice for castration-resistance prostate cancer with localized skeletal metastasis
External beam radiotherapy (EBRT)
Indicated to rapidly decompress the renal collecting system to prevent permanent kidney injury from urinary tract obstruction
percutaneous nephrostomy
indicated for emphysematous pyelonephritis and acute renal failure or septic shock
nephrectomy

Radical cystectomy
treatment for low grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer
