Witches and Wizards: Urology Flashcards
common causes of incontience
- urethral obstructio (bph, strictures, stensosis)
- impaired bladder contraction (dm, ms, spinal injuries)
- incompetent sphincter (stress incontinene: sneezing, laughing)
- bladderr inflammation (uti)
- bladder stones (obstruciton, metabolic disease, uti)
- malignancy
meds affecting continence
- alpha agonst/antag
- etoh - more urine production
- ccbs - smooth muscle relaxers
- duretics - increase urine productiion
- sedative/hypotic - less aware of need to urinate
-
anticholinergics
- narcs
- antipsch
- antidepresssant
- pseudoephedrine causes retention dt agonism at beta 3 receptor
what volume charactierizes post void residual
50ml left in bladder after urination
By what mechanism do anticholinergic/antimuscarinic drugs cause confusion/delirium/dementia?
decreased levels of acetylcholine synthesis or the number of acetylcholine receptors -> decrease in cholinergic activity
stress incontience treatment
- pseudoephdrine
- midodrine
- estrogen replacement (vagina applciation in older pts)
- duloxetine (not fda pproved)
overflow incontence treatment
bethanechol
bethanechol MOA
stimulates muscarinic recedptors
bethanechol ADR
- gi cramping
- orthostasis with reflex tachy
- urgency
- bronchial constriction
OAB treatment guidelines
- behavioral therapy
- meds (ER over IR)
another name for urge incotenice
OAB
anticholinergic meds for treatment of OAB
hyoscymaine
antimuscharinic meds for treatment of OAB
- oxybutinin
- tolterodine
- trospium
- festoerdine
- dicyclomine
- prapantheline
which antimuscarnics don’t cross bbb
- tolterodine
- trospium
- festerodine
festerodine
- increased efficacy but increased risk of xerostomia and risk of withdrawal
- has renal considerations
- DDI CYP3A4
anti muscarnic used to treat OAB
antispasmodics meds for treatment of OAB
- oxybutinin
- flavoxate
M3 speicifc meds for treatment of OAB
- darifenacin
- solifenacin
both have CYP3A4 DDI; M3 specific in theory means less ADR
antimuscarinic ADR
- hot hare
- red beet
- dry boe
- blind bat
- mad haatter
TCAs and OAB
imipramine (and ohter TCAs) have antimuscarnic properties, however do NOT use these in geriatrics to treat OAB
B3 adrenergic receptor agonistts meds for treatment of OAB
- mirabegron
- vibegron
MOA: detrusor msucle relaxation
mirabegron ADR
- nausea
- HA
- dizziness
- HTN - cautio in uncontrolled HTN
- diarrhea OR consitpatin
dose redue for hepatic or renal dysfunction
