Question
Answer
4-glass localization test for:   chronic prostatitis vs UTI (avoid in acute prostatitis); detn nidus of infxn  
🗑
infxn 2/2 retrograde organism spread thru vas deferens =   epididymitis  
🗑
urinary incontinence studies   UA, PVR; cystometry (H2O into bladder), stress test, US, cystoscopy  
🗑
prostate ca studies   PSA. TR US (if PSA >4): hypoechoic lesions. Bx to dx adenocarcinoma & Gleason grading (2-10). PSA >10: radionuclide bone scan to r/o bony mets. CT unreliable to detect LN involvement  
🗑
modalities for prostate ca staging:   abd/pelvic CT or MRI, pelvic lymphadenectomy, bone scan  
🗑
testicular ca studies   scrotal US (intratesticular echogenic focus); CXR & chest/abd/ pelvic CT; high AFP & hCG (nonseminoma)  
🗑
spermatocele dx studies   FNA; scrotal U/S  
🗑
PSA elevations can precede clinical dz by:   5-10 yrs  
🗑
PSA index   PSA density (PSA conc divided by PSA volume); higher may be assoc w/cancer  
🗑
Acid phosphatase used for:   Dx of prostatic ca; monitor tx w/ neoplastic drugs, esp in metastatic dz  
🗑
Acid phosphatase elevated in prostate:   Adenocarcinoma; Manipulation; Inflammation; Hypertrophy; do not assay immediately after DRE, TURP, or prostatic massage  
🗑
Testicular U/S: utility   Inflam scrotum; epididymitis; hydrocele; absent/ undescended testicle; torsion; abnormal blood vessels; lump or tumor; most scrotal masses  
🗑
If testicular mass, first do:   dx U/S  
🗑
Use _____ to differentiate torsion from epididymitis   Doppler US  
🗑
Male infertility analysis: start with:   semen analysis (if abnormal, look for exposure to toxins (environment, workplace, EtOH, drugs, hypogonadism)  
🗑
Semen analysis: specimen reqs   0.5 mL, room temp, no sex 2-3 (2-5?) days prior, macro & micro analysis within 1 hr  
🗑
Semen analysis: normal volume   volume >2 ml  
🗑
Semen analysis: normal liquefaction:   liquefied within 1 hour  
🗑
Semen analysis: normal pH:   7.2-7.8  
🗑
Semen analysis: normal motility:   ≥ 50%, >50% forward progression  
🗑
Semen analysis: normal sperm concentration:   ≥ 20 x 10(6)/ml  
🗑
Semen analysis: normal morphology:   ≥ 50%  
🗑
Low sperm motility may be due to:   antisperm Ab or infection  
🗑
Abnormal sperm morphology: may be due to:   varicocele, infection, exposure history  
🗑
Low semen volume: may be due to:   retrograde ejaculation or androgen insufficiency  
🗑
Elevated LH in men: causes   Testicular dysfn; primary testicular fail; CNS dysfn; precocious puberty; postviral orchitis  
🗑
Decreased LH in men: causes   Testicular tumors; secondary testicular fail; hypopituitarism; hypothalamic-pituitary dysfn  
🗑
FSH normal range (M)   1.5-14.0 mIU/mL  
🗑
Elevated FSH in men: causes   primary gonadal failure, testicular agenesis, alcoholism, gonadotropin-secreting pituitary tumors  
🗑
Decreased FSH in men: causes   Anterior pituitary hypofunction, hypothalamic disorders  
🗑
Limitation of FSH levels   Pulsatile secretion throughout day (physiologic variation within reference range)  
🗑
Primary testicular failure: labs   increased LH/FSH, decreased testosterone  
🗑
Secondary testicular failure (ie, pituitary dz): labs   decreased LH, FSH, testosterone  
🗑
Sims-Huhner test   During female LH surge, examine cervical mucus 2-8 hrs post coitus to evaluate sperm & quality of mucus  
🗑
Sims-Huhner test provides info about:   number of sperm, progressive motility, morphology & interaction of spermatozoa with the cervical mucus  
🗑
Seminal plasma fructose MOA   Fructose is produced in seminal vesicles (energy source); if absent in ejaculate, implies absence or obstruction of ejaculatory ducts; exam on frozen seminal plasma specimen  
🗑
Post-vasectomy testing: check sperm counts:   After 20 ejaculations; 8-12 weeks post-vasectomy  
🗑
Utility of free PSA   helps distinguish prostate cancer from BPH in DRE-negative pts with borderline-high PSA  
🗑
Most common formula for prostate volume   ellipsoid formula  
🗑
Prostate bx: eval men with azoospermia to:   rule out ejaculatory duct cysts or seminal vesicular cysts  
🗑
gold std test for testicular torsion   radionucleotide scan  
🗑
intratesticular echogenic focus on scrotal US =   testicular ca  
🗑
Positive urine cx =   >10(5) bacteria/mL (or >100 CFUs) pure growth  
🗑
If gram stain inconclusive for GU:   Cx on Thayer-Martin plate  
🗑
Decreased FSH, elevated LH & testosterone =   Azoospermia &/or androgen resistance  
🗑
Infertility despite normal FSH, LH, testosterone:   ?obstruction of epididymis or vas deferens  
🗑
Prostate cancer mgmt   If neg bone scan & low PSA: local curative tx, radical prostatectomy, XRT. Advanced dz: androgen ablation (castration or LH for med alteration). Palliative bone pain tx  
🗑
