Basics of Urology
Department of Urology
Urinary symptoms
? Hematuria
? Pain
? Lower urinary tract symptoms
(Obstructive/irritative)
? Urinary incontinence
? Anuria
? Urinary retention
Urological Emergencies
Investigations
? Routine Investigations: RFT, Urine examination
? Specific investigations: Uroflometry, USG, X-
Ray KUB, IVU, RGU, CT Urogram, MR Urogram
Hematuria
-Always abnormal whether micro. or macroscopic.
-may be due to a lesion any where in the urinary tract.
Associated symptoms
? pain --------usually stone.
? dysuria +urgency +frequency-----usually
infection
? Blood clots -----usually malignancy
Questions to be asked..
? Is hematuria gross or microscopic ?
? At what time of micturation does it occurs?
? Is associated with pain?
? Is the patient passing clots?
? Do the clots have any specific shape?
Pain
Quite severe and usually associated with either
obstruction or inflammation.
Upper tract :
-fixed deep and bursting in character.
-Colicky with sharp exacerbations against a
constant background when due to ureteric
obstruction.
-Is liable to be referred to the groin ,scrotum
or labium as the stone moves distally in the
ureter.
Lower tract pain
? Bladder pain : commonly felt as suprapubic
discomfort worsening as the bladder fills.
-usually associated with dysuria, frequency, urgency
when the cause is cystitis.
-may be referred to the tip of the penis.
? Prostatic pain :penetrating ache in the perineum and
rectum sometime a/w inguinal pain.
? Urethral pain :usually felt as burning sensation in the
vulva or penis especially during voiding.
Lower urinary tract symptoms
? Irritative symptoms
? Frequency
? Nocturia
? Urgency
? Dysuria
? Obstructive
? Loss of flow
? Hesitancy
? Intermittency
? Straining
? Post void dribbling
Incontinence
? Continuous incontinence
? Stress incontinence
? Urgency incontinence
? Overflow incontinence
? Enuresis
Anuria
? No urine output or ,50 ml urine output within
24 hrs.
? Differential diagnosis: urinary retention (full
bladder)
? Causes :
? Pre-renal
? Renal
? Post renal
Routine Investigation
Renal function test:
more than 70% of renal function must be lost
before renal failure become evident.
-blood urea-----3.5-7 mmol/dl
-serum creatinine-----80-120 mmol/dl.
glomerular filtration rate{G.F.R}---80-120
ml/min.
Urine Examination
Collection:
-midstream in adults with cleaning of the
external meatus.
-using collection bag in children.
Urine Examination
Physical
Chemical examination
examination
? Blood
? Color
? Proteins
? Turbidity
? Specific
? Glucose
gravity(1.001
? Ketones
-1.035)
? Urobilinogen
? pH(5.5-6.5)
? White blood cells
Microscopic examination
? W.B.C.
? R.B.C
? R.B.C cast
? Hyaline cast.
? Crystal
? Bacteria
? Yeast
Specific Investigations
? Uroflometry
? Measures the volume of urine released from the
body
? The speed with which it is released
? How long the release takes
Ultasonography
A painless and non-invasive procedure to
? Visualize urological organs and structures
? To perform biopsies
? Diagnosing tumors, cancer, stones and
congenital abnormalities
? Assessment of flankpain during pregnancy
? Post-operative evaluation of patients with renal
transplant
Sample of us pictures
X-ray KUB
K.U.B{kidney, ureter and bladder}
showing ----radio opaque shadow. About 90% of renal
stone are radiopaque.
-------fracture ribs.
-------vertebral column abnormality.
Intravenous Urogram (IVU)
A test which X-rays the urinary system using
intravenous dye which is excreted by kidney for
assessment of
? Renal and ureteral anatomy
? Level of ureteral obstruction
? Renal function
Sequence of film of I.V.U.
- Plain------bony structure +calcification
- Nephrogram{1min.}-----to assess function whether
nomal, delay, or not visualized.
-Tomogram----to assess renal out line for the presence
of mass or small calcification.
-Early film {5min} -----for hydronephrosis
filling defect
distended calyces.
-Late film {15-20min.} ---to assess ureter and bladder
Retrograde Urethrogram(RGU)
? Study to evaluate
anterior and posterior
urethra using
perurethral contrast.
Other imaging investigation
? Spiral C.T scan: now consider the 1st line of
imaging investigation in renal trauma or colic
? M.R.I {magnetic resonance imaging}
