25
Q

Persistent Hematuria in Children

Alport Syndrome

Heterozygous females have hematuria without progressive kidney disease

26
Q

Causes of transient hematuria

A

UTI

Trauma

Fever

Exercise

27
Q

Nephrolithiasis

Evaluation after acute episode

A

Try to prevent recurrence

Thorough history for risk factors

Identify stone type (examine stone or urine sediment for crystals)

28
Q

Nephrolithiasis

What meds are used to help pass stones

A

Antispasmodic agents

Ca channel blockers

Alpha blockers

29
Q

Symptomatic microscopic or gross hematuria in children

Evaluation

Unilateral flank pain radiating to groin

A

Suggests obstruction (stone)

30
Q

Asymptomatic isolated microscopic hematuria in children

Evaluation

A

Check BP and urinalysis weekly X 2 then q 3 months

Check urine culture

Further work up if BP inc, gross hematuria or proteinuria

If persists for 1 yr check for hypercalcuria, check relatives (BMD, hereditary nephritis), sickle trait, nutcracker syndrome

31
Q

Only test that visualizes urethra and prostate

A

Cystoscopy

32
Q

If isolated (no proteinuria or renal insufficiency) persistent hematuria think…

A

IgA nephropathy

Alport syndrome (hereditary nephritis)

Thin basement membrane nephropathy (benign familial hematuria)

33
Q

Nephrolithiasis

Symptoms

A

Pain (from obstruction, mild to excruciating,may wax and wane)

Nausea, vomiting

May be asymptomatic

Only symptom may be stone passing

34
Q

Renal ultrasound

Characteristics

A

Not sensitive for small tumors

35
Q

Symptomatic microscopic or gross hematuria in children

Evaluation

Flank pain with fever

A

Pyelonephritis

36
Q

If isolated (no proteinuria or renal insufficiency) transient hematuria think…

A

Post infectious glomerulonephritis

Exercise induced hematuria

37
Q

Persistent Hematuria in Children

Nutcracker syndrome

A

L renal vein compression by aorta and sup mesenteric artery

Can also have proteinuria

38
Q

Nephrolithiasis

MC stone

A

> 80% calcium oxalate

39
Q

Nephrolithiasis

Acute therapy

A

Pain control (NSAIDs, opioids)

Hydration

Meds to pass stone

Strain urine and save any stones

40
Q

Symptomatic microscopic or gross hematuria in children

Evaluation

Hx of pharyngitis or impetigo 2-3 wks earlier

A

Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis

41
Q

Symptomatic microscopic or gross hematuria in children

Evaluation

New incontinence, dysuria, frequency, urgency

A

UTI

42
Q

Nephrolithiasis

When to use immediate expulsion therapy

A

Pts with sepsis, acute renal failure, anuria, relentless pain and nausea

43
Q

Struvite stones

Characteristics

A

“Staghorn Calculus”

Infxn induced

usually don’t cause pain

F>M (UTI?)

Should be removed

44
Q

Nephrolithiasis

Risk Factors

A

Urine composition

Prior nephrolithiasis

Family Hx

Gastric bypass/bariatric surgery

Acyclovir

Low fluid intake

Acidic urine

Upper tract UTI

Q

Cystoscopy

When to use

A

ALL adults with unexplained hematuria

Video-assisted flexible cystoscopy under local anesthesia

46
Q

Macroscopic hematuria (gross hematuria)

Characteristics

A

Red or brown urine

If clots, lower tract source

Color change doesn’t reflect large degree of blood loss

Centrifuge to see if truly blood

Rarely needed

Consider biopsy if progressive disease

48
Q

US

A

PROCEDURE OF CHOICE for those needing to avoid radiation (pregnancy)

May miss small stones and urethral stones

49
Q

Nephrolithiasis

Hematuria

A

Usually gross hematuria

Present in most pts but absence doesn’t rule out

Present in 95% day one and 65% day four

50
Q

Urinalysis

Extraglomerular bleeding

A

Not common

BLOOD CLOTS. Clots never come from glomerular disease

Q

Nephrolithiasis

When do you have dysuria and urgency?

A

When stone in distal ureter

52
Q

Extraglomerular Disease

If absence of symptoms or signs…

A

No cause of low level hematuria that requires immediate diagnosis

Repeat in a few days to determine transient or persistent
