Renal + Urology Flashcards
First line Ix for renal colic
CT-KUB - gold standard
If pt <50, or pregnant - US KUB
Management steps for erectile dysfunction (4x2)
- Optimise modifiable RF
- Smoking, diet, exercise, etoh
- BP control, lipids - Treat reversible causes
- Medication induced
- Psychogenic -> referral to sexual therapist - PDE-5 inhibitor
- assess exercise tolerance first
- PRN sildenafil - Refer to Urologist for other
- Intracavernosal injections
- Vacuum erection device
PDE5 contra-indication
Concurrent nitrate use
Safety of Ural
Not established in UTI
Reduces effect of nitrofurantoin
Risk of crystalluria with quinolones
Treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis
If symptomatic + culture proven
- ciprofloxacin 500mg BD for 4wks
Non pharma mx of ED (6)
Exercise (150min mod/week)
Psychologist or sexual counsellor
Diet (mediterrean)
physio for pelvic floor
consider of penile pump
If relevant - reduce smoking and etoh
Pharma treatment for premature ejaculation
Dapoxetine 30mg 1-3hrs prior to intercourse (or paroxetine)
2nd line - daily ssri (paroxetine)
Prostate screening - what age and how often (4 groups)
Always a discussion of risk v benefit
- general pop -> 2 yearly PSA from 50-69
- high risk (1x 1st deg relative) - can offer 2yrly from 45-69
- higher (3+ 1st deg relative) - can offer 2yrly from 40-69
- don’t offer >70
Decision to screen ASx pt for prostate Ca. PSA comes back at 4.0
What next
PSA >3 = rpt in 1-3 months with free-to-total ratio
- 3-5.5 -> Free-total <25% = refer to urology
- >5.5 refer to urology
CKD Clinical treatment goals (6)
- BP - <130/80
- Albuminuria - reduction >30% uACR
- Gylcaemic control - HbA1c <7%
- Potassium - K <6.0
- Immunisation - all inc flu, pneumococcal, covid, herpes zoster
- Lipids - no target, statin for CKD eGFR >15 + CVD risk 10%
Treat CKD with a BAG of PILs
Screening kidney check + cut-offs (just for CKD or not)
BP + uACR + eGFR
uACR >3mg/mmol
- rpt for 3 over 3 months, if 2/3 >3 = CKD
eGFR <60
- Rpt in 7 days, if >20% drop = AKI
- Rpt at 3 months, if 2/3 <60 = CKD
Risk factors for CKD (9 - 2,3,2,2)
- Age >60
- First Nations >18yo
- DM
- HTN
- Established CVD
- BMI >30
- Smoking (prev or current)
- Hx of AKI
- FHx of CKD
2 mates 18yo first nations Mr Long, and 60yo Mr Shot. Bond over the fact they both have HTN, obese, diabetes, established CVD. Both have had AKIs which is scary as they have a FHX of CKD. Positively they have both quit smoking
Indications for kidney screen + frequency. Essentially risk factors (combined into 4 groups)
Yearly - DM + HTN + First Nations >18
2yearly - CVD, FHx, Obesity, SMoking
AKI - yearly for 3, then 2yearly
Age >60 - once off, then as indicated
Screening CKD for First Nations
> 18 - yearly
<18 - screen for red flags and screen if concerns
Medications in CKD (5)
- ACE-I or ARB
- Statin +- Ezetimibe
- SGLT2 Inhibitor
- Non-steroidal MRA
- GLP-1 RA (dulaglutide)
