acanthocytes (dysmorphic urine RBC)
Red Cell Casts
New Proteinuria
Elevated Serum Creatinine
Non-glomerular: more likely to have visible BC
________- is one of first things to consider in workup of hematuria
urine culture
Most hematuria is found on _______ and can easily be diagnosed by ________
- routine urine exam
- ruling out infection
____________ is size and stage tumor in RCC
CT abdomen
In patients patients WITHOUT symptoms of dysuria, nocturia or incontinence, what is NOT recommended?

What will pt with Urinary Tract Stone Disease
present on in PE
- Severe flank pain that radiates to groin
- Urinary frequency, hesitancy, hematuria
- N/V
What can we use on a pt with Urinary Tract Stone Disease to see stones on imaging?

UD
There are 7 ________ causes of geriatric urinary incontinence (aka ____________)
- reversible
- transient urinary incontinence
What are the 7 reversible causes of transient urinary incontinence?
DIAPPERS
Delirium Infection Atrophic vaginitis Pharmaceuticals Psychosocial/Psychiatric Excess urine: diuresis, hyperglycemia Stool impaction
MCC of fever
infection
Other causes of fever
- AI disease
- CNS disease (head trauma, lesion)
- Cancer (esp lymphoma, leukemia, RCC, primary or metastic liver cancer
Nocturia
getting up to pee more than 2x/night, which often occurs in the setting of dysuria and/or UI
Dysuria
hard time peeing, occurring at more external locations like urethra, bladder and suprapubic area or as the urine exits the body
Urinary incontinence
can’t control the flow of urine
Leaking of urine when coughing, sneezing or standing
stress incontinence
urgency and inability to hold pee
caused by?
urge incontinence
_____ incontinence has variable presentation
overflow incontinence
What is the MCC of established geriatric incontinence (2/3 of cases?
Detrusor overactivity (urge incontinence)
What are the causes of:
- Stress incontinence
- Urge incontinence
- Overflow incontinence
- Stress incontinence is d/t urethral incontinence (urethral obstruction, prostate enlargement, stricture, bladder neck contraction)
- Urge incontinence is d/t detrusor overactivity
- Overflow incontinence is d/t detrusor underactivity
What is the LCC of incontinence?
Detrusor overactivity
Dysuria DDx
o Cystitis o Uretheritis (gon or chlamydia) o Pyelonephritis o Vaginitis o Epididymis o Balantis o Prsastitis o URetheral syndrome o Genital herpes o Reactive arthritis (reiters syndrome)
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)
What distinguishes detrusor overactivity from underactivity and urethral incontinence?
Destrusor underactivity has a high postvoid residual (generally over 450 mL)
lab tests for incontinence
- review meds
- UA, urine culture for infection
- Tests for hyperglycemia, hypercalcemia, DI
lab tests for incontinence
US to see if postvoidal residual
