Q

How does iGA nephropathy and post streptococcal glomerulonephritis compare?

A

Both post upper respiratory tract infection

IgA is a couple of days post vs post strep is a couple of weeks.

Q

What is Phimosis. VS Paraphimosis

Study These Flashcards
A

Phimosis is tight foreskin in children. Can be physiological or pathological.
Paraphiosis is a urological emergency. (eg failing to put the foreskin back after catetherisation)

25
Amyloidosis- most common presentation? Diagnosis
Renal dysfunction (nephrotic syndrome) Diagnosis is with biopsy- Congo red stain goes apple green!
26
What is the treatment of nephrogenic diabetes inspidius?
Desmopressin Thiazide like diuretics NSAIDS
27
What is the classic examination finding in Epidymitis ?
Elevation of the scrotum reduces pain. VS torsion where doesn't make a difference!
28
Treatment of anaemia in renal disease?
EPO! yay (previously transfusion dependent)
29
What is renal osteodystrophy? Treatment
Low calcium Raised phosphate (Most common cause is secondary hyperparathyroidism) Treatment is = Vit D and calcium
30
Hydrocele - what is the hallmark feature?
TRANSILLUMINATE!
31
beta HCG is a tumour marker for?
Testicular teratoma NON SEMINOMA
32
What is the triad for nephrotic syndrome?
1. Oedema 2. Hypoalbuminea 3. Proteinuria
33
Complications of nephrotic syndrome?
Increased vulnerability to infections Hypercoagulable - renal vein thrombosis Hyperlipidaemia HYPOCALCAEMIA
34
Treatment of SIADH?
Fluid restriction Demelocycline ADH
35
How does genitourinary TB present?
Sterile pyuria Dysuria Fertility problems Dysuria Repeated UTIs
36
What is sterile pyuria and what are the causes?
Sterile pyuria= leucocytes, (no nitrites/ and no evidence of UTI) Gentourinary TB! Recently treated/ partially treated UTI Chlamydia is a common cause
37
What is the management of renal stones?
Less 5mm and asymptomatic= watchful waiting 5-10= lithotripsy 10-20= lithotripsy or stereoscopy >20 = percutaneous nephrolithotomy

Carbamazepine, Sulphonyureas, TCAs/ SSRIs
43
What criteria is used to diagnose CKD?
eGFR and Albumin/ creatinine ratio
44
