Urology (KIDNEY 1) Flashcards
Kidneys develop from the
Metanephrine buds
In horseshoe kidney assent is restricted by the
Inferior mesenteric vessels
Physiological lobulations in kidney, that are persist in adult are known as
Dromedary Humps
Which kidney is preferred as donor kidney and why
left kidney because Left renal vein is longer
What is nutcracker syndrome?
Left renal vein is compressed between superior, mesenteric artery and aorta
What is renal collar?
Left renal vein splits to encase the aorta
IOC for duplication of ureteric system
IVU ( Intravenous urogram )
What is Weigert Meyer Rule
Ureter draining the upper pole/ectopic ureter will open more medially and distally in an ectopic location as compared to normal ureter
Males : open into urethra
females : open into vagina
Drooping Lily sign is seen in
Duplication of malrotated pelvis
Infantile PCKD is Autosomal……
Recessive
In Infantile PCKD , PKHD is o chromosome
6
Adult PCKD is autosomal
Dominant
In adult PCKD , PKD 1 is on chromosome ….. and PKD 2 is on chromosome…..
16 & 4
Prenatal scan diagnosis for PCKD should have
If more than 3 cysts weather unilateral or bilateral
two or more cyst in both kidneys
Fused portion in the horseshoe kidney lies at the level of
L3–L4
On IVU which sign can be seen in horseshoe kidney
Flower vase appearance,
handshake sign
Management in asymptomatic, patient with horseshoe kidney
No management require
Management in presence of hydronephrosis or malrotated pelvis with stone formation in patient of horseshoe kidney is
Pyeloplasty
What is hydronephrosis?
Aseptic dialatation of pelvi-calyceal
system due to intermittent partial/complete block to flow of urine
 Most common cause of acquired hydronephrosis is
Renal stone (sloughed papillae)
Intra luminal cause
Most common congenial cause of hydronephrosis
PUJ obstruction
Intramural cause (within the wall)
IOC in pelvi-ureteric Justin obstruction
MAG-3 scan (can assess the function in the left kidney)
Management of symptomatic patients of PUJ obstruction
Anderson -Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty
TCC of ureter in IVU shows
Goblet sign
What is Ureterocele
Dilution of the terminal end of the ureter
IVU sign in the ureterocele shows
Cobra head/Adder head
Management of Aberrant renal vessel
Pyeloplasty
Never cut the aberrant vessel bc it can devascularize a portion of kidney
Retrocaval ureter
 Right sided ureter goes behind the IVC
IVU SHOWS WHICH SIGN In retrocaval ureter
Fish hook / reverse J sign
What is the management of retrocaval ureter
Lateralization of ureter. If lateralization fails uretero-ureterostomy is done after cutting the segment
Retroperitoneal Fibrosis is also known as
Ormond’s disease
Name drug induced retroperitoneal fibrosis
Methysergide , bromocriptine
IgG4 mediated retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with
Dupuytren’s contracture and Peyronie’s disease
IVU sign in retroperitoneal fibrosis
Maiden’s waist anomaly
Which renal isotopes scan is the best to asses the function?
MAG3 scan Is the BEST
Others: DTOA
Which renal isotopes scan assess the structure or scarring
DMSA
What is Nephrostomy
Surgery to make an opening from the outside of the body to the renal pelvis
When should we save the hydro nephrotic kidney
If the Hydro nephrotic kidney contributes to greater than 20% to total GFR
What is consecration product
Amount of solute in a solution
What are the stone inhibiting factor?
Citrate
Tamm Horsfall proteins
Stone formation can occur if
Concentration product is >formation product
What are the most common renal stones?
Calcium oxalate stones
Formed in acidic urine
Crystals of monohydrated stones are
Dumbbell shaped
They’re very hard stones
Crystals of dihydrated stones are
Enveloped shaped
They’re known as mulberry stones due to spiculated margins
What are the dietary advice we should give to patient to prevent recurrent calcium oxalate stones
Decrease fat content
Increase calcium intake
Large dose of pyridoxine
Triple phosphate stones also known as
Staghorn / Struvite stones
Formed in alkaline urine, usually infected with Proteus
Triple phosphate stones crystals are
Coffin lid type
What is the medical management for recurrent triple phosphate stone
Aceto-hydroxamic acid
