15
Q

what can be used to distinguish between ischemic and non-ischemic priapism

A

penile blood gas

Ischemic priapism will have a blood gas with pH < 7.25, pCO2 > 60 mm Hg, and pO2 < 40 mm Hg

16
Q

tx ischemic priapism

A

corporal aspiration with intracavernosal phenylephrine

if does not work –> surgical shunting performed by urologist

17
Q

tx for nonischemic priapism

A

observation

assuming pH > 7.3 (normal)

18
Q

tx nephrolithasis

A

< 5 mm - fluids and analgesics (NSAIDS)

> /=5 mm - tamsulosin; lithotripsy

> /=10 mm - nephrolithotomy

Q

MC type of kidney stone

A

calcium oxalate

20
Q

most common cause of acute urinary retention in men

A

BPH

21
Q

poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is caused by

A

immune complex deposition in the kidney

22
Q

what infection can cause post strep GMN

A

beta-hemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes, typically involving the pharynx or skin

23
Q

two most common serologic markers used to diagnose post strep GMN

A

antistreptolysin O or anti-DNAse B titers

24
Q

UA for post strep GMN

A

red blood cell casts and proteinuria

25
Q

labs post strep GMN

A

decreased C3 levels

26
Q

tx post strep GMN

A

supportive

27
Q

BUN and creatinine ratios of <10:1 are suggestive of an

A

intrinsic renal problem (tubular, interstitial, or glomerular injuries)

28
Q

BUN and creatinine ratios of 10-20:1 are suggestive of

A

post-renal pathology due to obstruction of flow (neurogenic bladder, mass, stricture, prostate enlargement)

29
Q

BUN/Creatinine ratio of > 20:1 is suggestive of

A

Prerenal causes of renal failure (cardiogenic shock, hemorrhage, sepsis) –> decreased renal perfusion

30
Q

dx kidney stone

A

UA - may show pH < 5; blood
Noncontrast CT of abdomen and pelvis

KUB XR can show calcium and struvite stones

31

inadequate hygiene in uncircumcised men

33
Q

MC infectious cause of balanitis

A

candidiasis

34
Q

tx balanitis due to candidiasis

A

topical clotrimazole

35
Q

Sx in UTI vs pyelonephritis

A

UTIs - limited to the genitourinary system and include dysuria, urgency, frequency, hematuria, and suprapubic abdominal pain

pyelonephritis - constitutional symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and malaise and may also have back and flank pain

36
Q

tx pyelonephritis
