we have 6 hours to fix it until the testes dies
114
A 52-year-old woman presents to the office with complaints of urine leaking at inappropriate times. She states that she is embarassed because when she feels the urge to get to the bathroom and urinate, she often doesn’t make it there in time. What do you do?
functional incontincence: inability to get to the toilet with confusion
this lady knows she has to go but she cant get there - this is URGE incontinence ( tx - oxbuylin)

X ray - wilhms tumor
healthy looking kid with abd distention and mass in abd that does not bother them
kidney tumor and it does not bother them, they can get extremely large and displace the bowel
occurs mostly with developmental cells
US is dx study - clin med - less radiate and mor information ( can tell where the tumor is arising from), not as much information with a CT

intrinsic AKI from gentamicin (aminoglycoside- cause nephron toxicity from tubular necrosis and theyn you get tubular casts)
BUN: Cr = <15 so intrinsic AKI
