Renal and urology Flashcards
Criteria for AKI
- Rise in creatinine >26micromol/l in 48hrs
- Rise in creatinine of >50% in 7 days
- UO < 0.5ml/kg/hr in 6 hours
RF AKI
- age
- sepsis
- CKD
- HF
- DM
- Liver disease
- COgnitive impairement
- Meds
- radiocontrast
pre renal causes AKI
- dehydration
- shock
- HF
- renal artery stenosis
Insufficient blood supply to kidneys (hypoperfusion/ischaemia)
Renal causes AKI
Intrinsic disease
- glomerulonephritis
- nephritis
- HUS
- rhabdomyolysis
- acute tubular necrosis = death of epithelial cells in rt
- renal artery stenosis
post renal causes AKI
Obstruction to outflow
- stones
- tumours
- strictures
- BPH
- neurogenic bladder
Tx AKI
- IV fluids
- Withhold nephrotoxic meds
- relive obstruction
- dialysis if severe
assessment of AKI patient
- current sx, fluid intake, output, RF, meds
- volume status = urological obstruction
- renal function and K level
- Urine dipstick
Ix AKI
- urinalysis
- USS urinary tract
causes CKD
- DM
- HTN
- Meds
- Glomerulonephritis
- PCKD
Presentation CKD
- Asymptommatic
- Fatigue
- Pallor
- Proteinuria, polyuria
- Pruritis
- oedema
Diagnose = chronic reduction in kidney function >3 months
Ix CKD
- eGFR = serum creatinine, age, gender
- early morning urine to measure ACR
- Proteinuria
- Haematuria = dip or micro
- Renal USS
- BMI, HbA1c and lipids
Diagnosis CKD
- eGFR <60 sustained
- ACR >3 mg/mmol sustained
Mx CKD
- kidney failure risk equation for 5yr risk dialysis
Refer when - eGFR <30
- Urine ACR >70
- Accellerated progression
- 5yr risk >5%
- uncontrolled HTN despite 4+ meds
Meds - ACEi
- SGLT2 inhib
stage 1 CKD
- > =90
stage 2 ckd
60-89
stage 3a ckd
45-59
stage 3b ckd
30-44
stage 4 ckd
15-29
stage 5 ckd
- <15
BP target CKD
<130/80 if under 80 with ACR >70
drug to reduce complications CKD
Statin 20mg
when to offer ACEi in CKD
- DM plus ACR >3
- HTN plus ACR >30
- ACR >70
renal bone disease
- high serum phosphate
- low vit D activity
- Low serum calcium
Assessment of patient with LUTS
- DRE
- Abdo exam
- Urine output chart
- Urine dipstick
- PSA
Common causes raised PSA

- BPH
- Prostatitis
- UTI
- Exercise
- Recent ejaculation
Medical Mx BPH

- combination
- antimuscarinic
surgical mx BPH
- TURP
- TEVAP
- HoLEP
- Prostatectomy
RF bladder cancer
- smoking
- Age
- Aromatic amines = dye and rubber
- Schistosomiasis
most common type of bladder cancer
- transitional cell carcinoma 90%
S+S bladder cancer and when 2ww
- painless haematuria
2ww when - 45 or over with unexplained visible haematuria
- 60 or over with microscopic haematuria PLUS dysuria or raised WCC
diagnosis and mx of bladder cancer
- cystoscopy to diagnose
- tx = TURBT, chemo, BCG, cystectomy

- E coli
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhoea
- Mumps
S+S epididymo-orchitis
- testicular pain
- dragging sensation
- swelling testicle
- tender palpation
- discharge
- systemic
Ix epididymo orchitis
- urine MC&S
- STI screen and charcoal swab
- saliva swab if suspect mumps
- serum abs for mumps
- USS
Mx epididymo orchitis
- treat STI
E coli - Ofloxacin 14d, levofloxacin for 10 or co amox for 10
empirical tx - IM ceftriaxone
SE of quinolone abx
= ofloxacin, levofloxacin
- Tendon damage and rupture = acilles
- lowers seizure threshold
features of nephritic syndrome
