25
How can we diagnose detrusor overactivity (=> urge incontinece) vs uretheral incompetence (=> stress incontinence?
Standing full bladder stress test: ask the patient to stand while coughing - immediate release of urine => urethral incompetence - few second delay release of urine => detrusor overactivity (uninhibited bladder contraction)
26
What distinguishes detrusor overactivity from underactivity and urethral incontinence?
Destrusor underactivity has a high postvoid residual (generally over 450 mL)
27
lab tests for incontinence
1. review meds 2. UA, urine culture for infection 3. Tests for hyperglycemia, hypercalcemia, DI
28
lab tests for incontinence
US to see if postvoidal residual
29
In regard to prostate cancer, the decision is always based on
risk vs benefit
30
______ is a pathologic process that contributes to the development of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)
BPH
31
LUTS are subdivided into what symptoms
Obstructive symptoms (urinary hesistancy, straining, weak stream, terminal dribbling, prolong voinding, incomplete emptying) irritative symptmos (increase in freq, urgency, nocturia, incontinence, small boided bolumes)
32
diagnostic symptoms score of BPH (AUA sx scale) = tells us sx severity and prostate cancer risk
0-7: mild 8-19: moderate 20-35: severe
33
In patients with symptoms, ___________ can identify those with normal flow rates who are unlikely to benefit from treatme
urine flow studies
34
_____________ can identify those with high postvoid residuals who may need intervention
bladder US
35
_____________studies detect primary bladder dysfunction
pressure-flow (urodynamic) studies
36
________ is recommended if hematuria is documented and to assess the urinary outflow tract before surgery
cytoscopy
37
___________ is advised for patients with hematuria, a history of calculi, or prior urinary tract problems.
imaging of upper tracts
38
Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia most often come from
1. blocked uretha | 2. Overworked bladder
39
_________ is the most common reason men seek treatment for BPH, and therefore the goal of therapy for BPH.
sympmatic relief ((alpha-adrenergic ANT) surgery is a 2nd line threapy
40
__________I as combination therapy seeks to provide symptomatic relief while preventing progression of BPH
alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonist and a 5ARI
41
First, avoid PSA in _______ Second, do not treat __________ 3rd; refer _______ to urologist
men with little-no gain 2nd: those who do not need tx; screen detected prostatte cancer does not need immediate treatment and can be managed w surviellence 3rd: refer men who do not need tx to
42
before performing PSA, do what?
determine pts risk for BPH and prostate cancer. DRE is likely not considered unless pt is high risk; even then does not impact decision making R
43
refer men with PSA of _______ to urology if symotom score is moderate -severe
4-7 ng/ml
44
DDx for cystitis
``` o Pyelonephritis o Urethritis o Vaginitis o Prostatitis o Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) ```
45
, ____ occurs in the absence of symptoms attributable to the bacteria in the urinary tract and usually does not require treatment, while _____ has more typically been assumed to imply symptomatic disease that needs ABX therapy.
ASB UTI
46
I often diagnose ASB in elderly patients or those with ________s. Often, they do not need therapy, such as antibiotics!
chronic indwelling catheters
47
patient does not have local or systemic symptoms referable to the urinary tract usually bacteriuria detected incidentally
ASB
48
The typical symptoms of cystitis are
dysuria, urinary frequency, and urgency
49
. _____ is the main feature distinguishing cystitis from pyelonephritis.
fever
50
prostatitis is almost always _______ in nature and will often compaoin of pain where
bacterial between scrotum and anus (perineal)
51
a symptomatic episode of cystitis or pyelonephritis in a pt with an anatomic predisposition to infection, with a foreign body in the urinary tract, or with factors predisposing to a delayed response to therapy.
complicated UTI
52
symptoms of LHF
1. breathless (dyspnea) 2. Orthopnea 3. PND 4. hemoptysis 5. high RR and HR 6/ rales 7 base of lungs are dull to percussion bc of congestion of luid in lungs
53
volume overload is a typical process that is commonly treated with ______ and other medications to_________, _______ afterload and _____ preload
diuretics increase contractility increase afterload decrease preload
54
why can HF lead to nocturia?
HF causes decrease renal perfusion during day when standing up; when laying down it goes back to normal => diuresis
55
essential of dx of kidney stone dz
1. severe flank pain 2. N/V 3. Id on non-constrast CT or US
56
Epidemo of kdinewy stones
male 30-40a hot summer months
57
struvite calci are most likely due to
urease producing organisms (proteus, pseudomas, providencia)
58
• Laboratory Tests for kidney stones
UA; will see gross/microscopic hematuria in 90% of pts urinary pH
59
Persistent urinary pH < 5.5 is suggestive of...
uric acid or cystine stones
60
Persistent urinary pH ≥ 7.2 is suggestive of a
struvite infection stone
61
Urinary pH between 5.5 and 6.8 typically indicates
calcium-based stones
62
what iwll detect most stones
plain film of abdomen (KUB; kidney, ureter, bladder)
63
b. Prevention of kidney stones
1. increase fluid intake to pee out 1.5-2 l 2. drink during meals, 2 hours after, before bed and at night 3. decrease Na+ intake 4. decrease animal protein
64
when to refer for kidney stones
1. urinary obstrauction 2. kidney stone + flank pain 3. abnormal kidney 4. concomiitant pyelonephritisi or recurrent infection
65

66
when to admit for kidney stones
1. N/V to manage sx | 2. Obstruction stone with sign of infection (CONSULT UROLOGY ASAPROONY)
67
acute bacterial prostatits mcc
e.coli and pseudomas
68
Prostatitis, Acute Bacterial • Essentials of Diagnosis
``` o Fever o Irritative voiding symptoms o Perineal or suprapubic pain o Exquisite tenderness on rectal examination o Positive urine culture ```
69
acute bacterial prostatits CBC: UA: Urine culure
CBC: leukocytosis and left shift UA: pyuria, bacteruria, hematuria culture: +
70
why can diabetic pts experience nocturia
DB => hyperglycemia => high glucose => osmotic diuresis => nocturia
71
why can diuretics cause nocturia
HF pts are congested; diuretics restribute volume => lying down changes venous pressure and increases VR => kidneys filter more fluid at night
