Urinary Tract Disorders Flashcards
What is the incidence of urinary tract stones?
15% of population has urinary tracts stones
What are the types of renal stones?
Alkaline urine:
1-Calcium oxalate
2-Calcium phosphate
3-Struvite
Acidic urine:
1-Urate stone
2-Xanthine stone
3-Cysteine stone
What is the most common type of stones?
Calcium oxalate
(If recurrent and multiple Ca oxalate stones: familial and hyperoxaluria)
What is the most radio-opaque stone?
Calcium phosphate
What is the stone that are related to proteus infection forming a staghorn stone?
Struvite
What are the characteristics of urate and xanthine stones?
-The most radiolucent
-Associated with cell death “chemotherapy”
What are the manifestations of urinary stones?
-Renal stones: hematuria mainly, loin pain
-Ureteric stones: hematuria, pain from loin to groin
-Urinary bladder stones: hematuria, cystitis, Supra-pubic pain
Hemorrhagic cystitis May occur with certain medications like…
Cyclophosphamides
Recurrent painful hematuria in a young female=….
Interstitial cystitis
What is the rate of passage of stones: according to stone size?
1mm—85%
2-4mm—75%
5–7mm—60%
The most specific diagnostic tool for stones is …
CT
What is the treatment of each case…?
1–<5mm — Medical treatment (observative treatment)
2–5mm-2cm — ESWL (endoscopic shock wave lithotripsy)
3–5mm-2cm but in pregnant female — (Ureteroscopy)
4–Multiple-complex-staghorn stone (PCNL: percutaneous nephrolithotomy)
What are the complications of urinary tract stones?
Urinary tract obstruction
-Acute urine retention
-Chornic urine retention with sterile hydronephrosis
-Chronic urine retention with infected hydronephrosis (with long-standing retention and immune Om promised patients)
-Pelvi-Ureteric junction PUJ obstruction (loin to groin pain especially after caffeine and diuretic intake, it may lead to renal scarring)
What is the management of the followings?
1-Acute urine retention: Urinary catheter
2-Chronic retention with sterile hydronephrosis: stemming or pyeloplasty
3-Infected hydronephrosis: PCN (Percutanous nephrostomy)
4-PUJ obstruction management with possible scarring, but a urosurgeon must:
-Determine the cause: CT scan
-Exclude the complications (renal scarring): DMSA Scan
-Choose treatment according to renal function: DTPA or MAG3 renogram
•good renal function: pyeloplasty
•poor renal function: Nephrectomy
…. is better than ….. specially in cases of failed transplant and damaged kidney.
MAG 3 renogram - DTPA Scan
What are the other causes of urine retention?
-Postoperative urine retention: (mainly after spinal and epidural analgesia due to bladder neck inactivity)
-Post infection urine retention: (uretheral stenosis)
-Retention in diabetic patients: (under active bladder causing painless retention)
… of urinary tract injuries occur with pelvic fractures
85%
… injury is the most common injury and happens usually with straddle injury in bicycle riders (falling astride)
Bulbar uretheral injury
