SASP 2012 2 Flashcards
mech for low urine ph in idiopathic stone formers
insulin resistance. Ammonia production/ excretion results in unbuffered h+ –> acid urine
insulin role in kidney
insulin stimulates amoniagenisis in proximal renal tubule
dent’s disease
x linked recessive nephrolithiasis. Hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, stones, proteinurina, progressive renal failure, +/- rickets
std vs extended LN dissection @ radical cystectomy
standard - bifrucation of common illiac artery. Extended = IMA
enterovesical fistula causes -3
dverticulitis, regional enteritis, sigmoid ca
pneumaturia
60% in diabetics. Get ua/ ucx first
class for temsirolimus
mTOR (involved in growth/ proliferation of cells)
who benefits from temsirolimus
3 or more of poor risk factors: 1. LDH> 1.5x nl, 2. HBG below nl, 3. serum ca >10, 4. dx of rcc to tx > 1 yr, 5. multiple organ mets, 6. karnovsky of 60-70
multiple system atrophy findings
open bladder neck at rest in uds is most telling in a male. MSA often assd w ED. No ED, include parkinsons in ddx
multiple system atrophy eponym
shy-drager
etoposide and platinum long term AE
cardiovascular toxicity and econdary malignancy. Also in radiation
renal bloodlfow is autoregulate by
afferent glomerular artiolar resistance.
distal tubuloglomerular feedback
Changes in rate of fluid flow in the distal tubule elicit changes in afferent glomerular arteriolar resistance. Happens in innervated and denervated kidneys
idiopathic ca oxalate stone formers and randalls plaques
in IDIOPATHIC stone formers - ca phos crystals form in BM of think loop of henle. Plaques progress into interstitum and vasa recta then erode through papillary surface and provide anchored site for ca ox stones. Different mech for other stone types
repeat biopsy of previously negative elevated psa
rebiopsy with anterior apical horn bx - 30-50%. Similar yield to saturation biopsy
what exactly is in sipuleucel-T
autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells with APC’s activated ex vivo with proteins c/o prostatic acid phosphatase fused to GMCSF
sipuleucel-T premedication
tylenol and benadryl
calcium reabsorbtion induced by PTH and vit D happens in X in kidney
distal tubule. Also happens in prox tubule, but not under hormonal influence
bone scan delayed radiotracer in kidney
get functional imaging to r/o obstruction
Penile cancer Ta, T1a, T1b, T2, T3
Ta - noninvasive veruccous ca, T1a - subepithelial connective tissue, no LVI not poorly differentiated, T1b - invades SECT + LVI or poorly differentiated, T2 - inv corpus vacernosum or spongiosum, T3 - inv urethra
penile ca cN1-3
N0 - no nodes, N1 -mobile unilateral ing LN, N2 - mobile multiple or bilateral ing NL, N3 - fixed in LN or pelvic LN uni or bilateral
idiopathic DO
random episodes of incontenence. CMG fails to ID involuntary bladder contraction in 50% w/ clinical urge incont.
increased stone formation during pregnancy
absorbtive hypercalciuria 2/2 placental production of 1,25-vit D. increased intestinal absorbtion of ca and pth supression. (unrelated) inc citrate and GAG excreation (inhibit stones)–> No change in stone risk
ECOG score
0 - fully active, no restriction, 1 - no strenuous activity (light housework only) ,2 - no work activities, out of bed > 50%, 3 - limited self care and bed> 50%
factors for increased leakage in neobladder
short functional urethral length, non nerve sparing, decreased membranous urethral sensation, increased time after diversion.
persistent hyperoxaluria after low oxalate diet - tx
pyridoxine (b6), cofactor in AGT (glyoxylate –> glycine). Otherwise glyoxalate –> oxalate via LDH
interferon and BCG?
interferon does not help outcome. Give standard RDA vitamins
mcrpc with docetaxel failure - next agent
carbazitaxel. Others with survival benefit - abiraterone, sipuleucel-T
renal insufficiency from atherosclerotic renal artery dz - most important prognostic factor
89% with serum cr < 3 will have improvement.
when is renal biopsy helpful in renal vascular htn
if cr > 4
most accurate way to determine length of graft in urethroplasty
ultrasound identifies length of stricture and scarred spongiosal tissue.
post transplant lymphoproliferative EBV + mass in kidney -tx?
reduce or stop immunosupression
antimuscarinic an DLPP
does not decrease DLPP in NGB

most common renal tumor in kids < 6 mo
congenital mesoblastic nephroma
cirsoid AV fistula. What is it
congenital, complex fistula.
cirsoid AV fistula tx and who to tx
nephrectomy. Embolization not possible - coil migration. Tx HTN, cardiomegaly, ht failure, hematuria, lesion expansion
SCC of head, neck, or lung and kidney stones
production of PTHRP causes ectopic hyperparathyroidism and absorbtive hypercalciuria.
prostate utricle is analagous to X in females

ameliorate hormonal production in metastatic adrenal cortical carcinoma
metastatic pheo chemo agents
cyclophosphamide, vincristine, dacarbazine
why not treat asymptomatic e coli
asymptomatic assd with self agglutinating ecoli that have lost their o-polysaccharide surface antigen. Treatment is followed by new e coli with intact O surface antigen leading to acute sx
spinal shock definition

what is natural cycle artificial insemination
allowing woman to ovulate without meds.
male infertility and natural cycle insemination
no better than timed vaginal intercourse.
when is IUI useful (3)
mechanical problems (hypospadius, retrograde ejaculation, impotence). Preg rate improved with ovulation induction if abn semen parameters.
when is natural cycle IUI useful
pure cervical factor infertility
tubal abnormality best assisted reproductive technique
IVF. (inseminated sperm otherwise need to ascend fallopian tubes)
PUV voiding dysfunction and incontinence mgmt
if high urine output, will see hydro, nocturnal drainage will help. Otherwise try timed voiding before uds test. Don’t give oxybutinin - can cause retention due to kyogenic dysfunction.

between pons and lower spinal cord
skin graft of choice for large volume scrotal skin loss and pro/con
split thickness. Pro’s: high success rate, can cover large area, mimmic rugated appearance of scrotum. Cons: lack of hair, may retract.
how to minimize split thickeness skin graft
avoid expansion of graft - 2:1 or 3:1. do not place in acute injury site (bacteria)
thigh pouch and scortal injury
temporizing, except in debilitated patients.
