Peds GU Flashcards
vesicoureteral reflux –> predisposes to what?
predispose to acute pyelonephritis –> renal scarring –> irrev loss of renal fx
vesicoureteral reflux –> grading?
I: reflux into ureter II: reflux into renal pelvis III: blunted calyces IV: mod hydroureter V: severe tortuous hydroureter
vesicoureteral reflux –> what nuc med studies can evaluate VUR? (2)
- radionuclide cystogram (RNC)
- Tc-99m DMSA renal scintigraphy (DMSA scan)
vesicoureteral reflux –> preferred initial study?
VCUG
vesicoureteral reflux –> most sensitive study?
radionuclide cystogram (RNC)
radionuclide cystogram (RNC) –> grading?
1: ureteral reflux
2: reflux up to calyces
3: hydroureter
renal cortical scarring –> gold standard study?
Tc-99m DMSA renal scintigraphy (DMSA scan)
radionuclide cystogram (RNC) –> what radionuclide?
Tc-99m pertechnetate
what is Weigert-Meyer rule?
renal duplex system:
- upper moiety –> ectopic insertion –> inf-med
- lower moiety –> orthotopic insertion –> sup-lat
renal duplex system –> upper vs lower moiety –> predisposed to what?
- upper moiety –> ureterocele –> obstruction
- lower moiety –> VUR
hydronephrosis –> ddx? (2)
- VUR
- UPJ obstruction
hydroureteronephrosis –> at UVJ level –> ddx? (2)
- VUR
- UVJ obstruction
what is renal ptosis (nephroptosis?
“floating kidney” –> kidney drops down into pelvis when pt stand
hydronephrosis –> unilat –> MCC?
UPJ obstruction
UPJ obstruction –> cause? (3)
- aberrant renal A –> compress ureter
- ureter –> aperistaltic segment
- idiopathic
congenital bladder outlet obstruction –> MCC?
posterior urethral valve
posterior urethral valve –> bladder –> US findings?
dilated bladder –> trabeculations
posterior urethral valve –> what is “keyhole”?
dilated posterior urethra + bladder
posterior urethral valve –> which structures will be dilated? (3)
- prostatic urethra
- bladder
- renal collecting system
prune belly synd –> consists of what triad?
- hydroureteronephrosis, renal dysplasia
- ant abd underdevelopmt
- cryptorchidism
urethra, bladder, renal collecting system –> dilated –> ddx? (2) how to differentiate?
- posterior urethral valve –> only posterior urethra dilated
- prune belly synd –> entire urethra dilated
ureterocele –> 2 types?
- ectopic –> ectopic ureter
- simple –> orthotopic ureter
ureterocele –> US appearance?
cyst within bladder
ureterocele –> VCUG appearance?
round filling defect in the bladder
