Question
Answer
Obstructive uropathy can occur from ____ to ____   Renal calyces Distal urethral meatus  
🗑
Obstructive Uropathy Common Causes   Pregnancy BPH Calculi Congential anomalies Inflammation  
🗑
Obstructive Uropathy Common Sequelae   Stagnation of urine with -↑ risk of infxn -↑ risk of calculi Loss of renal fxn from hydronephrosis  
🗑
Obstructive lesions of the urinary tract can be ____ Vs ____   Sudden Vs. Insidious Partial Vs. Complete Intrinsic Vs. Extrinsic Mechanical Vs. Functional  
🗑
Hydronephrosis   Dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces associated with atrophy of the kidney Caused by obstruction of outflow of urine  
🗑
Obstructive Uropathy Clinical considerations   Pain: renal colic Altered U/O: stream, amount, etc Unilateral obstruction may be asymptomatic  
🗑
Obstructive Uropathy Clinical considerations Bilateral Partial   From chronic tubulointerstial nephritis Presents with polyuria, nocturia from inability to concentrate urine  
🗑
Obstructive Uropathy Clinical considerations Bilateral complete   Presents with oliguria or anuria Urine output must be restored for survival  
🗑
Urolithiasis General   Calculi can form at any level Most arise in the kidney ~80% are unilateral  
🗑
Urolithiasis Clinical   5-10% US population, M>F Familial/hereditary tendencies Smaller stones→ureters→renal colic pain obstruction and hematuria Larger stones→hematuria, hydronephrosis  
🗑
Urolithiasis Etiology   4 main types 1.Calcium (oxalate/phosphate) ~70% 2.Struvite (triple stone): Mg, NH4, phosphate 3.Uric Acid 4.Cystine  
🗑
Urolithiasis Etiology/Pathology   Urinary supersatutation -Low urine volume -Metabolic abnormalities, altered pH Loss of natural inhibitors Infection  
🗑
Calculi Calcium   Radiopaque ~70% of all stones Hypercalcemic states -Hyperparathyroidism, diffuse bone disease, sarcoidosis Hypercalciuria w/o hypercalcemia  
🗑
Calculi Magnesium ammonium phosphate   ~20% of all stones Bacterial infections -Urea→ammonia (↑ urine pH) +↑precipitation of Mg, NH4, phos Large stones (Staghorn caculi)  
🗑
Caculi Uric acid   Radiolucent ~10% of stones Hyperuricemia (gout) Tendency to excrete urine with pH < 5.5  
🗑
Caculi Cystine   <1% Genetic efects in renal reabsorption of amino acids Stoned form at low urine pH  
🗑
Urinary bladder Anatomy   Superior surface: dome Anteriosuperior: apex Posterior surface: base Trigone: triangular region located at base of bladder Bladder neck: most distal  
🗑
Urinary bladder Layers of visceral organ   Mucosa: urothelium Lamina propria: slips of smooth muscle Muscularis propria: thick bundles of smooth muscle Adventitia (conn tiss)  
🗑
Urinary bladder disorders/diseases Non-neoplastic (congenital or developmental)   Diverticula Exstrophy Urachal cysts VRR (most common) Inflammation Metaplastic changes  
🗑
Urinary bladder disorders/diseases Neoplastic   Urothelial (TCC) Squamous cell carcinoma Adenocarcinoma Mixed carcinoma Small cell carcinoma  
🗑
Diverticula   True:out-pouching of visceral organ consisting of all wall layers Acquired:increased intraluminal pressure Congenital:defect in wall muscle  
🗑
Exstrophy   ~33/1,000,000 live births Anterior bladder wall and abdominal wall are absent Exposes bladder mucosa to external environment ↑ risk of cystitis and carcinoma  
🗑
Urachus   Vestigial remnant of the connection of bladder apex to the allantois Prone to neoplastic transformation→adenocarcinoma <0.5% bladder cancers  
🗑
Patent urachus   Communicating duct between umbilicus and urinary bladder→infection May close spontaneously Typically requires surgical closure  
🗑
Urachal cysts   **Most common urachal anomaly** Suprapubic palpable mass Columnar lining secrets watery secretions  
🗑
Cystitis   Can be acute or chronic Systemic signs are uncommon in uncomplicated cystitis  
🗑
Infectious Cystitis   Bacterial: E.coli Fungal: Candida Parasitic: Schistosomiasis -Middle East, northern Africa Viruses: Chlamydia  
🗑
Chemical or Physical Agent Cystitis   Drugs and other chemicals: -Cytotoxic chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide) hemorrhagic cystitis Radiation Cacluli (mechanical)  
🗑
Interstitial Cystitis   Chronic pelvic pain syndrome Etiology uncertain F>>M Recurrent, severe, intermittent suprapubic pain Hematuria, Urinary urgency  
🗑
Interstitial Cystitis (cont)   May result in transmural fibrosis with dysfunctional bladder *May mimic in situ urothelial carcinoma*  
🗑
Malacoplakia   Macroscopic: soft, tan/yellow slightly elevated mucosal plaques **Micro: large foamy macrophages mixed with multinucleated giant cells -Michaelis-Gutmann bodies**  
🗑
Malcoplakia (cont)   Chronic bacterial infections -E.coli -immunosuppressed transplant pts  
🗑
Metaplasia   Alteration of the epthelium from its typical mature form to a different type of epithelium Mostly transitional to columnar Metaplastic epi offers beneficial protective features  
🗑
Neoplasms of the Urinary Bladder   ~95% are epithelial  
🗑
Urothelial (Transitional cell)   Benign: urothelial papilloma Premalignant: Papillary- PUNLMP Flat- urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS)  
🗑
**Urothelial Carcinoma In Situ (CIS)**   Multifocal Greater tendency to progress to more aggressive malignant neoplasm Multifocal- pagetoid spread of tumor cells  
🗑
Cancers of Transitional Epithelium   Papillary urothelial carcinoma (TCC): Tend to recur, maybe multifocal Not all are invasive "Flat" (ass. with CIS): Multifocal, invasive, high-grade  
🗑
Staging of Urinary Bladder Cancers   Ta: noninvasive papillary Tis: carcinoma in situ T#: invasive Higher #, more invasion  
🗑
Squamous cell carcinoma   ~3-7% of bladder cancers More common in areas with schistosomiasis Most common ass. with Sch. (70%) Ass. Chronic irritation/infxn  
🗑
Bladder Cancer Epidemiology   M>F More common in developed countries Urban>rural Generally no familial association  
🗑
Bladder Cancer Pathogenesis   Modifiable risk factors *Tobacco *Artlamine chemicals (aromatic hydrocarbons) Long-term analgesic use Radiation exposure  
🗑
Urinary Bladder Cancer Clinical Features   Classic: painless hematuria Risk of recurrence: tumor size, stage, grade, multifocality, presence of CIS Prognosis: grade and stage at Dx most important (early detection)  
🗑
Urinary Bladder Cancer Treatment Small, localized papillary tumors   Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) Close follow-up surveillance  
🗑
Urinary Bladder Cancer Treatment CIS, high grade TCC, etc   Topical immunotherapy/chemo Intravesical installation of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) Local inflammation reaction destroys tumor  
🗑
Urinary Bladder Cancer Treatment Invasion of muscularis propria   Cystectomy Possibly systemic chemotherapt  
🗑
