dysuria, urinary frequency + urgency, suprapubic pain without systemic signs (fever)

A

cystitis

28
Q

urianalysis findings of cystitis

A

cloudy urine with > 10 WBCs/hpf

29
Q

Positive leukocyte esterase (due to pyuria) and nitrites (bacteria convert nitrates to nitrites)

A

dipstick findings of cystitis

30
Q

culture findings of cystitis

A

> 100,000 colony forming units (gold standard)

31
Q

causal agents of UTI

A
e coli (80%0
staph saprophyticus
klepsiella pneumonia
proteus mirabilis
enterococcus faecalis
32
Q

pyuria

A

pus in the urine

33
Q

distinguishing feature of proteus mirabilis cystitis

A

alkaline urine w/ ammonia scent

34
Q

sterile pyuria (pyruria w/ negative urine culture)

A

urethritis due to chlamydia or N gonorrhoeae

35
Q

dominant presenting sign of urethritis

A

dysuria

36
Q

pyelonephritis

A

infection of the kidney

37
Q

vesicoureteral reflux

A

reflux from bladder up to ureter

38
Q

fever, flank pain, WBC casts and leukocytosis

A

pyelonephritis

39
Q

most common pathogens causing pyelonephritis

A

E coli (90%)
Enterococcus faecalis
Klebsiella species

40
Q

scarring at upper and lower poles of kidney

A

characteristic of vesicoureteral reflux

41
Q

leads to renal cortical scarring with blunted calyces

A

chronic pyelonephritis

42
Q

“thyroidization” of the kidney (atrophic tubules containing eosinophilic proteinaceous material resemble thyroid follicles)

A

chronic pyelonephritis

43
Q

interstitial fibrosis and atrophy of tubules due to multiple bouts of acute pyelonephritis

A

chronic pyelonephritis

44
Q

causes of chronic pyelonephritis

A

vesicoureteral reflux in kids or obstruction (BPH or cervical carcinoma)

45
Q

precipitation of a urinary solute as a stone

A

nepholithiasis

46
Q

risk factors for nephrolithiasis

A

47
Q

nephrolithiasis presentation

A

colicky pain with hematuria and unilateral flank tenderness

48
Q

what happens if someone does not pass a kidney stone within hours?

A

may require surgical intervention

49
Q

most common type of kidney stone

A

calcium oxalate and/or calcium phosphate

50
Q

cause of calcium oxalate and/or calcium phosphate stone

A

idiopathic hypercalcemia + Crohn

51
Q

Treatment of calcium oxalate and/or calcium phosphate stones

A

Hydrochlorothiazide (calcium sparing diuretic)

52
Q

Most common cause is infection with urease positive organisms (Proteus vulgarism or Klebsiella); alkaline urine leads to formation of stone

A

ammonium magnesium phosphate stone

53
Q

staghorn calculi in renal calyces, wh/ act as nidus for urinary tract infections

A

ammonium magnesium phosphate

54
Q

treatment of ammonium, magnesium, phosphate stones

A

surgery to remove stone (due to size) and eradication of pathogen (to prevent recurrence)

55
Q

Radiolucent kidney stone

A

uric acid kidney stone

56
Q

risk factors for uric acid stone

A

hot, arid climates, low urine volume, acidic pH

57
Q

most common stone seen in patients with gout; hyperuricemia (in leukemia or MPD) increases risk

A

uric acid stone

58
Q

treatment of uric acid stone

A

hydration and alkalization of urine (potassium bicarbonate); allopurinol is also administered in patients with gout

59
Q

associated with cystinuria (a genetic defect of tubules that results in decreased reabsorption of cysteine)

A

cysteine kidney stones

60
Q

treatment of cysteine kidney stone

A

hydration and alkalinization of urine; note cysteine may also form staghorn caliculi

61
