Duke PA Nephrolithiasis

        Help!  

Question
Answer
nephrolitiasis is a common cause of ___ in the US   morbidity  
🗑
the peak incidence of nephrolithiasis is in the age group of ___   20-45  
🗑
___ stones are most common accounting for 75% of all stones   calcium  
🗑
most calcium stones are   calcium oxylate  
🗑
___ stones require an alkaline pH and are therefore less common   calcium phosphate  
🗑
patients with nephrolithiasis usually have   flank pain radiating to the groin on the same side  
🗑
nephrolithiasis may sometimes be associated with   N/V, polyuria, dysuria, and ileus  
🗑
initial screening for kidney stones should include   electrolytes, creatinine, serum calcium, phosphate and uric acid  
🗑
management of nephrolitiasis requires   identifying the specific type of stone  
🗑
conditions that may lead to calcium phosphate stone formation   RTA, primary hyperparathyroidism, milk-alkali syndrome  
🗑
after 20 years of follow up <__% of patients remain stone free   10  
🗑
all patients with nephrolithiasis should be advised to consume approximately __L of fluid per day   3  
🗑
the two dietary restrictions that have been benificial in reducing recurrence of stones   restricting intake of animal protein and sodium  
🗑
__% of renal stones are passed spontaneously   90  
🗑
stones that are wider than __mm are unlikely to pass   8  
🗑
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment is more benificial in patients with   renal pelvic, or upper ureteral stones  
🗑
ureteroscopy with basket retrieval or ultrasonic lithotripsy may be more successful in patients with   lower ureteral stones  
🗑
calcium stones __mm have a 50% chance of passing spontaneously   4-7  
🗑
surgical intervention is indicated if a stone is unlikely to pass on its own or   when serial studies show a loss of renal function, or increasing hydronephrosis, when infection is present, and when pain is intractable  
🗑
the main risk factors for uric acid stones   dehydration, persistently acidic urine, increased secretion associated with RTA  
🗑
the mainstay of uric acid stone treatment is   too increase volume and alkalinize the urine in an effort to reduce precipitation of uric acid  
🗑
alkalinization can be achieved during the day with   oral sodium bicarbonate  
🗑
to achieve alkalinization at night when urine is most acidic   acetazolamide may be used  
🗑
the majority of __ stones dissolve within a few weeks with proper therapy   uric acid  
🗑
patients with ___ stones usually have a history of several UTI's treated with multiple courses of antibiotics   Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate (struvite)  
🗑
percutaneous nephrolithotomy is currently the primary surgical intervention of choice for __ stones   Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate (struvite)  
🗑
Cystine stones can be dissolved by   maintaining high urine output as well as by alkalinizing the urine  
🗑
foods high in oxylate   nuts, spinach, black tea, sweet potatos  
🗑
three most common places for stones to get stuck   ureteropelvic junction, crossing of iliac artery, ureterovesical junction  
🗑
the ureter contracting against a stone causing flank pain that may radiate toward the groin, and genitalia   renal colic  
🗑
signs of lower UTI   frequency, urgency, dysuria, fever  
🗑
renal stones at the ureterovesical junction can present with   signs of a lower UTI  
🗑
radiolucent stones   cystine stones, uric acid stones  
🗑
IVP is good for viewing   filling defects in the urinary system, radiolucent stones  
🗑
renal stone protocol CT   does not use contrast  
🗑
in between plain films and renal stone protocol CT   TOMO  
🗑
stone that fills out the kidney pelvis and 2/3 of the calyces   staghorn stone  
🗑
ideal candidate for SWL   small stone (<1.5 cm), mid or upper pole location, normal renal anatomy, no obstruction  
🗑
Sometimes 1st line Tx for stones ≤ 2 cm located to the mid ureter   Ureteroscopy  
🗑
complications of ureteroscopy   infection, ureteral tear (rare avulsion), ureteral stricture  
🗑
