Pyelonephritis
* Elderly may have what?
* CBC with what?
* UA shows what?
* Patients may have what?
- Elderly may have hypotension or mental status changes
- CBC with leukocytosis and left shift
- UA shows pyuria, bacteriuria, and possible hematuria
- Patients may have hydronephrosis secondary to obstruction.
Pyelonephritis
* What are the MC Organisms?
Pyelonephritis
* Txt based on what?
* Most patients require?
* Patients should respond to what?
- Blood cultures, UA, gram-stain, urine culture – adjust antibiotic regimen based on culture results
- Most patients require hospital admission and broad-spectrum IV antibiotics
- Patients should respond to proper therapy in 12 to 24 hours
Pyelonephritis
* If no or limited response in 3 to 4 days investigate further for what?
* Patient can be discharged when?
- If no or limited response in 3 to 4 days; investigate further for resistant organisms, abscess formation, obstruction, etc
- Patient can be discharged when clinically improving, meets criteria for IV to PO conversion, and oral antibiotic appropriate based on culture and sensitivity report
Pyelonephritis – Empiric inpatient treatment

* What is first line for High-risk resistant bacteria?
Low-risk resistant bacteria (MC)
* Ceftriaxone
* Ciprofloxacin
* Levofloxacin
High-risk resistant bacteria
* Ertapenem

* Cefepime
Pyelonephritis-Empiric inpatient treatment
* Uncomplicated: Duration txt?
* Complicated: Duration txt? What are things that classifed?
Pyelonephritis – Empiric outpatient treatment
* Low-risk resistant bacteria first line?
- Ciprofloxacin
- Levofloxacin
Pyelonephritis – Empiric outpatient treatment
* What is the duration for uncomplicated?
* What is the duration for complicated? What classifies complicated?
ABP treatment:
5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
* What is the MOA?
Inhibits 5-alpha reductase in prostate
* Decreases the conversion of testosterone to more potent dihydrotestosterone
* Decreases intraprostatic and serum DHT levels by 70 to 90%
* Decreases prostate size
* Decrease prostate specific antibody production by 50%
Alpha-1 blockers
* What is the MOA of selective?
Selective (α1a > α1b)
* BPH - alpha1 receptors in prostate (α1a)
* Relax smooth muscle of prostate and bladder neck
* Improve urinary flow and decrease BPH symptoms
Alpha-1 blockers
* What is the MOA of non-selective?
Non-selective (α1a = α1b)
* Block alpha-1receptors in prostate and
* Block alpha-1 receptors on vascular smooth muscle (α1b)
* Vasodilation – decrease SVR = decrease afterload = decrease blood pressure
Hypogonadism
* What is low?
* How do you dx it?
Hypogonadism:
* What are the sxs?
Hypogonadism:
* If testosterone is low obtain what? Why?
* What can be positive?
If testosterone is low obtain LH and FSH
* Differentiate between primary and secondary
±prolactin
Testosterone treatment
* Indicated for men with what?
* Testosterone treatment for men with what? (off label use)
- Indicated for men with hypogonadism secondary to a disorder of the testicles, pituitary gland, or brain
- Testosterone treatment for men with age-related low testosterone due to aging is considered off label use
Testosterone treatment
* What are the benefits?
Benefits:
* Increased libido
* Decreased erectile dysfunction
* Increased lean muscle
* Decreased total body fat
Testosterone treatment
* No good evidence for what? (2)

what is first line for ED?
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors – 1st line
* What is the MOA?
Prevent the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) enzyme from breaking down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)
* Results in an increase in the concentration of penile cavernosa cGMP causing prolonged smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum vasculature
* Increased erection hardness and duration in men with ED who have sufficient intact vasculature
