Hematuria remains one of the most common urologic diagnoses, estimated to account for over 20% of urology evaluations. Women with hematuria have been especially prone to delays in evaluation, often due to practitioners ascribing hematuria to a urinary tract infection (UTI) or gynecologic source, resulting in inadequate evaluation and delay in cancer diagnosis. In this episode, we will review the recently released joint guidance form the AUA and SUFU regarding microhematuria. What defines this condition? If a UTI is also diagnosed, does that end the investigation? And what are the 3 risk profiles for microhematuria? Listen in for details!

Microscopic hematuria, and less commonly gross hematuria, are conditions commonly seen by the primary care provider. Malignancy is the most ominous cause of hematuria. Fortunately, other causes are much more likely. Since this is a relatively common health condition, when should we investigate hematuria and what should the evaluation consist of? How do we evaluate a patient's risk for urinary tract malignancy? Dr. Aaron Potretzke, a urologist at Mayo Clinic, joins us to discuss these questions.

Herkese merhabalar. Sporla yatıp sporla kalkan bir millet olma yolunda son hızla ilerlemeye devam ediyoruz. Özellikle spor ve sporcuya verilen değerin gün geçtikçe artmasında en büyük katkıyı kuşkusuz A milli kadın voleybol takımımız veriyor. Bu yazı vesilesiyle onlara da tekrardan büyük teşekkürü bir borç biliyor ve yazıma kaldığım yerden devam ediyorum. Giriş Voleybol takımımız başarıdan başarıya koşarken hemen hemen benzer tarihlerde Filipinler, Japonya ve Endonezya'nın ev sahipliğinde 2023 FIBA Dünya Kupası maçları oynandı. Milli takımımızın yer alamadığı turnuvada oldukça çekişmeli maçlar gerçekleştirildi. Şimdi sizleri yine bu turnuvada yer alan bir müsabakaya, Sırbistan ile Güney Sudan arasındaki maça götürmek istiyorum. Maçta Sırp basketbolcu Borisa Simanic rakip oyuncu ile ikili mücadele sırasında flank bölgesine dirsek darbesi aldı. Bir süre acı içinde yerde kalan Simanic oyuna devam edemedi. Hızlı bir şekilde hastaneye götürülen sporcunun durumunun ciddiyeti uzun uğraşlar ve takım doktorunun ısrarları doğrultusunda yapılan ileri tetkikler sonucunda daha da netlemişti. Simanic'in grade 5 renal travması vardı. Nefrektomi geçirdiği, operasyon sırasında 2 litreye yakın kan kaybının olduğu ve ciddi bir kan replasman sorunu da yaşadığı öğrenildi. Simanic korkunç bir spor travması yaşamıştı. Spor müsabakalarında çok da sık görmediğimiz,  en azından bu evrede karşılaşmadığımız renal travmayı gelin hep birlikte inceleyelim.  Sporcularda Renal Yaralanmalar Sporcularda görülen renal yaralanmalar hem travmatik hem de atravmatik mekanizmalarla meydana gelmektedir. Atravmatik mekanizma  genellikle yoğun egzersiz nedeniyle görülmektedir. Bu mekanizma sonrası sporcularda en sık gördüğümüz bulgular hematüri ve proteinüridir. Proteinüri genellikle renal hasar gelişmeden spontan düzelmektedir. Genellikle egzersize bağlı gelişmektedir​1​. Egzersize bağlı görülebilen bir diğer bulgu ise hematüridir. Altta yatan renal patoloji olmadığı sürece Hematuria tipik olarak 24-48 saat içinde düzelmektedir​2​. Travmatik böbrek yaralanmaları ise künt karın travması veya delici yaralanma sonucu ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bu durumlarda en sık görülen bulgu mikroskobik hematüridir. İlişkili hipotansiyonun veya makroskopik hematürinin bulunmadığı durumlarda daha ileri görüntülemeye nadiren ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır​3​. Spor İlişkili Hematüri Bilinen bir travma olmadan egzersiz sırasında görülen hematüriye egzersize bağlı hematüri denilmektedir. Literatürde bu patoloji için kullanılan diğer isimler ise spor hematürisi, atletik psödonefrit ve stres hematürisi şeklindedir​4​. Egzersiz sonrasında sporcularda  ortaya çıkabilen hematüri sıklıkla futbol, boks gibi temaslı sporlarda görülmektedir. Ancak koşma, kürek çekme, yüzme gibi temassız sporlarda da ortaya çıkabilir. Hematüri şiddeti, egzersiz süresi ve  egzersiz yoğunluğuna göre değişebilmektedir. Egzersize bağlı hematürinin fiziksel aktivite sonrasında genellikle spontan düzelmesi beklenmektedir. Mikroskobik hematüri ise hem sporcularda hem de sporcu olmayan popülasyonda görülebilmektedir. Genel olarak asemptomatik mikroskobik hematüri prevalansı, popülasyonun yaş ve cinsiyetine bağlı olarak %0,19'dan %21'e kadar değişebilmektedir​5​.   Sporcularda bildirilen prevelans genellikle daha yüksektir. Özellikle yüzücüler ve atletizm sporcularında ortalama %80 oranında hematürinin görülebildiği yapılan birçok çalışmayla gösterilmiştir​4​. Sporla ilişkili olduğu belirlenen asemptomatik mikroskobik hematüride, egzersiz veya spor katılımının kısıtlanmasına gerek yoktur.  Ancak altta yatan böbrek hastalığı ve böbrek fonksiyon bozukluğu saptanan  sporcuların ise tedavi süresince spor müsabakalarına katılmaması sağlanmalı ve böbrek fonksiyonları yakından takip edilmelidir​6​.

It's not unusual to be taken by surprise when you see microscopic hematuria on urine dip results. The patients who end up with this as part of their presentation are often asymptomatic, and may even be giving you a urine sample for another reason – which can make chasing down the cause even more of a mystery. If you don't know where to start when it comes to determining the cause of microscopic hematuria, you're not alone. In this video, we will cover a high-level approach to investigating a finding of microscopic hematuria. We will go over the workup for microscopic hematuria, and lots more: ✅ What is the difference between microscopic and macroscopic hematuria?✅ When a urine dip is enough, and when you need to send the sample out✅ What white blood cells and protein in the sample can tell you✅ Essential history and symptom questions to ask✅ When to repeat the urine dip at another timeHaving a simple framework for approaching the sometimes mysterious microscopic hematuria will increase your confidence and help you to take the best care of your patients. Getting to the root cause of microscopic hematuria is another critical part of taking great care of the patients you work with.

Episode 105: Renal Cell Carcinoma. Manpreet and Jon-Ade explain how to diagnose renal cell carcinoma. Introduction about age and kidney transplant by Dr. Arreaza and Dr. Yomi. Introduction: Too old for a new kidney?By Hector Arreaza, MD. Discussed with  Timiiye Yomi, MD.Today we will be talking about the kidneys, those precious bean-shaped organs that detoxify your blood 24/7. Amazingly, we can live normal lives with one kidney, but when the kidney function is not good enough to meet the body's demands, patients need to start kidney replacement therapy. Modern medicine has made a lot of advances with dialysis, but the perfection of a kidney has not been outperformed by any machine yet. That's why kidney transplant is the hope for many of our patients with end-stage kidney disease.The need for a kidney transplant is growing, likely due to increasing chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and also because of an increase in elderly population. About 22% of patients on the kidney transplant waiting list are over age 65. A cut-off age to receive kidney transplant has not been established across the globe. Different countries use different criteria for the maximum age for transplant. The American Society of Transplantation's guidelines states “There should be no absolute upper age limit for excluding patients whose overall health and life situation suggest that transplantation will be beneficial.” So, if your patient is older than 65 and needs a kidney, they may qualify for a transplant, and age should not be an absolute contraindication to receive it. Actually, older patients may have lower risk of rejection due to a theoretically weaker immune system. A live donor is likely to be a better option for elderly patients. A condition that would make your elderly patient a poor candidate for kidney transplant would be frailty. Common contraindications to kidney transplant include active infections or malignancy, uncontrolled mental illness, ongoing addiction to substances, reversible kidney failure, and documented active and ongoing treatment nonadherence.So, remember to take these factors into consideration when deciding if you need to refer your elderly patients for a kidney transplant, there is no such thing as being too old for a new kidney if your patient meets all the criteria for a transplant.This is Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California.

Moderated by Hector Arreaza, MD. Definition:Renal cell carcinoma is a primary neoplasm arising form the renal cortex. 80-85 percent of renal tumors are renal cell carcinomas followed closely by transitional cell renal cancer and Wilms tumor.  Epidemiology: In 2022, 79,000 new cases of kidney cancer were diagnosed with almost 14,000 mortalities. There is a 2:1 male to female ratio and the average age is 64 and normally 65-74. African Americans and American Indians have a higher prevalence rate compared to other racial groups. The lifetime risk for developing kidney cancer in men is about 1 in 46 (2.02%) and 1 in 80 (1.03%) in women.  Risk Factors associated with RCC: Anything that causes assault to the kidneys and affects its function would cause increased demand, injury, and inflammation. This assault can lead to cell derangement and lead to cancer. The risk factors that have been associated with RCC are smoking, obesity, HTN, family history of kidney cancer, Trichloroethylene (a metal degreaser used in large manufacturing factories), acetaminophen, and patients with advanced kidney disease needing dialysis. Patients with syndromes that cause multiple types of tumors: VHL (von Hippel-Lindau) deficiency, a tumor suppressor, gives rise to clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Familial inheritance of VHL deficiency is mostly found in patients that have RCC at a very young age, before 40 y/o. Other tumors can be found in the eye, brain, spinal cord, pancreas, and pheochromocytomas.Hereditary leiomyoma-renal cell carcinoma due to FH gene mutations causing women who have leiomyomas to have a higher risk of developing papillary RCC.Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome mutation in FLCN gene who develop various skin and renal tumors.Cowden syndrome is a mutation in the PTEN gene giving rise to cancers associated with breast, thyroid , and kidney cancers.Tuberous sclerosis causes benign tumors of the skin, brain, lungs, eyes, kidneys, and heart. Although kidney tumors are most often benign, occasionally they can be clear cell RCC. Screening For RCC:Screening is unnecessary because of the low prevalence of this cancer in the general population, though certain groups require annual repeat imaging via US, CT, or MRI. Inherited conditions that are associated with RCC such as VHL syndrome or Tuberous SclerosisESRD patients who have been on dialysis for 3-5 yearsFamily history of RCCPrior kidney irradiation Clinical Picture: Most patients with RCC are asymptomatic until cancer grows large enough to cause disruption of local organs, such as the kidney, bladder, or renal vein, and dysregulates other organs via metastasis. Therefore, it's important to look at other signs and symptoms caused by RCC.  The patient most likely will be an older male who presents with the classic triad of: Flank pain: caused by rapid expansion and stretching of the renal capsule.Hematuria: occurs from the invasion of the neoplasm into the collecting duct.Palpable abdominal mass: mass tends to be homogenous and mobile with respirations. Though this presents only in 9% of patients during the presentation, having physical symptoms is a sign of advanced disease and 25% of patients with these signs tend to have distant metastasis.  Anemia: normally associated with anemia of chronic disease. It precedes the disease by at least 8 months to 1 year. Males can develop varicoceles because of decreased emptying due to neoplasm obstruction. Patients normally develop varicoceles on the left due to the spermatic vein emptying in the higher resistance left renal vein, which causes backup of the blood in the pemphigus plexus. Though a right-sided varicocele should raise a higher suspicion of obstruction due to the spermatic vein draining directly into the IVC which is lower in resistance. A right-sided varicocele is seen in approximately 11 percent of patients. The paraneoplastic syndrome can also arise from RCCEpo: Erythrocytosis with symptoms of weakness, fatigue, headache, and joint pain.PTHrP: PTH-related peptide acts like PTH which gives rise to hypercalcemia with the prevalent symptoms of arthritis, osteolytic lesions, confusions, tetany, ventricular tachycardia, shortened QTc, and nausea and vomiting.Renin: overproduction from the juxtaglomerular cells can cause disarrangement of the RAAS system causing hypertension.Others also like ACTH and beta-HCG. Other disorders present include hepatic dysfunction, cachexia, secondary amyloidosis, and thrombocytosis. Workup If a patient comes in with painless hematuria, then the first test should be abdominal CT or abdominal ultrasound. A CT is more sensitive than the US but it can quickly indicate if the abdominal mass felt can be a cyst or a solid tumor.  US of kidneys should show if it's a simple cyst:-The cyst is round and sharply demarcated with smooth walls- It's anechoic – appears solid black-There is a strong posterior wall echo-Use the Bosniak classification to classify mass  Bosniak I: benign simple cyst with thin wall less than equal to 2mm, no septa or calcifications. No future workup is needed. Bosniak II: benign cyst, 3 cm diameter, requires f/u with US/CT/MRI at 6 months, 12 months, and annually for the next 5 years. Chance of malignancy: 5%.  Bosniak III: indeterminate cystic mass with thick, irregular or smooth walls. This requires nephrectomy or radiofrequency ablation. Chance of malignancy: 55%  Bosniak IV: Clearly a malignancy its grade III with enhancing soft tissue components that its independent from the wall or septum. Requires total or partial nephrectomy. Chance of malignancy 100%.  CT of the kidneys for a neoplasm should show:-Thickened irregular walls or septa -Enhancement after contrast injection are suggestive of malignancy-CT can also help detect invasion in local tissue areas such as renal vein and perinephric organs  MRI is used if the patient cannot use contrast or kidney function is poor. MRI can also evaluate the growth of the cancer. Other imaging studies:Other imaging studies that may be useful for assessing for distant metastases include bone scan, CT of the chest, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. Treatment and staging Nephrectomy, partial or total, will be used as the initial tissue collection for pathology. If the patient is not a surgical candidate, you can also obtain a percutaneous biopsy. The nephrectomy is preferred because first, it serves as a definitive treatment option, but also it allows for definitive staging of the cancer with tumor and nodal staging. Regardless of the size, any solid mass may indicate malignancy and point towards RCC, requiring resection.   TNM staging Stage I: Tumor is 7cm across or smaller and only in the kidney with no lymph nodes or distant mets. T1N0M0 Stage IIa: Tumor size is larger than 7cm but still in the kidney but no invasion of lymph node or mets. T2N0M0 Stage IIb: Tumor is growing into the renal vein or IVC, but not into neighboring organs such as adrenals or Gerota's fascia and still lacks lymph node invasion and mets. T3N0M0.  Stage III: Tumor can be any size but has not invaded outside structures such as adrenals, though nearby lymph node invasion is present but not distant. There is no distant mets. T3N1M0. Stage IV:  The main tumor is beyond the Gerota's fascia and may grow into the adrenal gland . It may or may not spread to the lymph nodes or may not have distant mets. Stage IV also consists of any cancer that has any number of distant mets. T4 Adjuvant therapy can be done with immune therapy. Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 105 “Renal cell carcinoma.” This type of cancer may be asymptomatic until it is large enough to cause symptoms. Keep it on your list of differentials on patients with hematuria, flank pain, weight loss, and abnormal imaging. Keep in mind the features of simple kidney cysts vs complex cysts when assessing kidney ultrasounds. Your patient will be grateful for an early diagnosis of RCC and a prompt treatment. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Timiiye Yomi, Manpreet Singh, Jon-Ade Holter. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

A 40-year-old man with no past medical history presents to the clinic to establish care. He reports that he had a prior urinalysis that revealed blood as an incidental finding. The urinalysis was done as a standard screening test by his former employer. He denies ever seeing any blood in his urine and denies any voiding difficulties, dysuria, sexual dysfunction, or any history or risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). His review of systems is otherwise negative. He has smoked a half-pack of cigarettes per day for the past 10 years and exercises by jogging 15 minutes and lightweight training daily.    On examination, his vital signs are normal and the entire physical examination is unremarkable. A complete blood count (CBC) and a chemistry panel (electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen [BUN], and creatinine) are normal.

We talk with Dr. Shahrokh Shariat, chairman of Urology at the Medical University of Vienna, about diagnosis and management of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) as well as differing AUA and EAU approaches to these malignancies. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/OVNyKk --- SHOW NOTES In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Aditya Bagrodia and Dr. Shahrokh Shariat, chairman of Urology at the Medical University of Vienna, about diagnosis and management of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) as well as differing AUA and EAU approaches to these malignancies. First, the doctors discuss common history and physical examination findings of patients with UTUC. Hematuria is the the most common sign, followed by flank pain and hydronephrosis. 10-15% of UTUC patients will also have Lynch syndrome, which is a condition that indicates a genetic predisposition to UTUC as well as other cancers. After initial hematuria workup, imaging of the upper tract and kidney must be obtained. Dr. Shariat obtains a CT urogram and an ultrasound for patients with suspected UTUC but waits until a tumor is identified to get a chest X-ray. Indirect signs of UTUC are: filling defects, thickening of the ureter wall, and hydronephrosis. Performing a ureteroscopy is the next step in UTUC patients. A ureteroscopy obtains adequate specimen for grading and reveals tumor behavior and location. A ureteroscopy can also be used as a therapeutic approach if kidney preservation is possible. Dr. Shariat uses a “no touch technique” in which he uses an access sheath to prevent tumor seeding. He prefers to use a flexible ureteroscope, a holmium laser, and a basket for collection. After ureteroscopy, he places a double J stent in his patients and waits for 6 weeks before taking a second look and starting alternating imaging, if needed. Surgical intervention may be required to treat non-metastatic UTUC. Dr. Shariat usually administers four rounds of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to his patient before operating. He recommends checking the patient's renal function to see if cisplatin-based therapy can be tolerated. Dr. Bagrodia and Dr. Shariat then compare the outcomes of cisplatin and carboplatin-based therapy. Next, Dr. Shariat shares his tips for segmented ureterectomy. Although this procedure is relatively uncommon, he advocates for careful closure, intraoperative chemotherapy, and clipping the ureter above and below the tumor to prevent seeding. To end the episode, the doctors discuss new UTUC therapeutic options, such as JELMYTO, a gel-based chemotherapy administered through a catheter. Finally, Dr. Shariat emphasizes once more that UTUC is a heterogenous cancer that requires multimodal therapy.

When Knugget's person went to one conventional vet after another, because there was no infection, there was no answer for the dog. Faced with what to do next, she decided to try holistic medicine. Luckily, Dr. Donna has seen other cases like Knugget, young dogs with food allergies whose main reaction is severe and immediate blood in the urine. In one day after diet changes and herbal therapies, his urine became normal after weeks of looking like tomato soup. Please join us as we discuss the case in depth and please share.

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men's Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee discuss the causes of kidney and bladder cancer. Bladder cancer affects the stretchy, transitional cells of the bladder, which allow it to shrink and expand as bladders so wonderfully do. This transitional cell epithelium exists from the inside of the kidney, through the ureters, into the inner lining of the bladder and the first part of the urethra. Consequently, bladder cancer can actually exist anywhere from the kidney all the way down the ureters and even underneath the bladder. The number one symptom of bladder cancer is visible blood in the urine without any accompanying pain. Blood in the urine should always be treated as an alarming symptom and its cause identified. While it could be something like an infection or kidney stone, it could also be an indication of something much worse. Smokers or those exposed to cigarette smoke are at a higher risk of developing bladder cancer. If your doctor suspects you might be at risk for bladder cancer, a simple CT Scan can help them determine whether further testing, such as a cystoscopy, is necessary. When a tumor is found, it must be removed and examined under a microscope to determine how advanced the cancer is. Having cancer of the bladder makes you much more likely to develop cancer of the kidney, and vice versa. Once a cancer of this kind has been diagnosed, you will require careful monitoring for the rest of your life. If you or someone you love have recently seen or are currently seeing blood in your urine, with or without accompanying pain, please give us a call today!This episode previously aired on 10.23.21.

Hematuria is subdivided into visible (gross) hematuria and microhematuria. Most cases of microhematuria are thankfully benign, but in some patients it may be a red flag (no pun intended) for something more ominous. What defines hematuria? Do all patients need urological referral? In the session, we will summarize and highlight one of the ABOG MOC articles (Jan 2022) which helps clear up the mystery of Hematuria.

Conversamos en mi espacio radial con la Dra. Katiuska Meléndez, nefrólogo pediatra, sobre: La hipercalciuria, una de las primeras causas de litiasis renal y hematuria en niños. La hipercalciuria se define como el aumento mantenido en la excreción urinaria de calcio. Puede ser idiopática, es decir, cuando se desconoce su causa, lo cual es relativamente raro en niños mayores de 6 años. Pero también existe la secundaria, que es la más común, y se debe a factores dietéticos como, por ejemplo: el exceso en la ingesta de sodio, azúcares y proteínas o baja ingesta de potasio. Las manifestaciones clínicas más frecuentes son: hematuria o sangre en la orina, disuria o ardor o dolor al orinar, polaquiuria que es la necesidad de orinar muchas veces en el día; dolor abdominal, urgencia miccional, enuresis nocturna o incontinencia urinaria, infección urinaria y urolitiasis. También pueden presentar retardo de crecimiento y osteopenia que no es más que la pérdida de mineral ósea. La Dra. Meléndez comenta que el tratamiento de primera línea es dietético: aumentar la ingesta de agua, restricción de alimentos salados y azucarados, limitar la ingesta de proteínas a los requerimientos recomendados y asegurar la ingesta de suficiente de frutas y hortalizas.

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men's Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener question about microscopic hematuria. He asks: "Is it normal for microscopic blood to show in your urine when you get older? If the answer is no, could it be caused by Peyronie's disease?" Dr. Mistry explains that while microscopic hematuria, or small amounts of blood in the urine, always warrants investigation by a urologist, it is often benign. Visible blood in the urine, however, is worrisome, and it should be addressed as soon as possible. If you see blood in your urine but aren't experiencing any pain, your chances of receiving a cancer diagnosis are as high as 30%. To answer the listener's second question, hematuria is generally not caused by Peyronie's disease. Peyronie's disease is characterized by the development of a bend in the penis and/or an hourglass deformity. This condition may be caused by the slowly accumulating effects of microtrauma to the penis sustained during intercourse with a less-than-fully-erect penis, or even by severe, acute trauma. Scar tissue can develop along the penis shaft, causing the often painful and distressing changes associated with this incredibly common condition. If you think you may have Peyronie's disease, please see a urologist! And if you see blood in your urine, don't delay in seeking treatment. If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share us with a friend!

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men's Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee discuss the causes of kidney and bladder cancer. Bladder cancer affects the stretchy, transitional cells of the bladder, which allow it to shrink and expand as bladders so wonderfully do. This transitional cell epithelium exists from the inside of the kidney, through the ureters, into the inner lining of the bladder and the first part of the urethra. Consequently, bladder cancer can actually exist anywhere from the kidney all the way down the ureters and even underneath the bladder. The number one symptom of bladder cancer is visible blood in the urine without any accompanying pain. Blood in the urine should always be treated as an alarming symptom and its cause identified. While it could be something like an infection or kidney stone, it could also be an indication of something much worse. Smokers or those exposed to cigarette smoke are at a higher risk of developing bladder cancer. If your doctor suspects you might be at risk for bladder cancer, a simple CT Scan can help them determine whether further testing, such as a cystoscopy, is necessary. When a tumor is found, it must be removed and examined under a microscope to determine how advanced the cancer is. Having cancer of the bladder makes you much more likely to develop cancer of the kidney, and vice versa. Once a cancer of this kind has been diagnosed, you will require careful monitoring for the rest of your life. If you or someone you love have recently seen or are currently seeing blood in your urine, with or without accompanying pain, please give us a call today!

Fortunately, other causes are much more likely. Since this is a relatively common health condition, when should we investigate hematuria and what should the evaluation consist of? How do we evaluate a patient's risk for urinary tract malignancy? Dr. Aaron Potretzke, a urologist at Mayo Clinic joins us to discuss these questions.

Urinary Retention The sun rises over the San Joaquin Valley, California, today is April 29, 2020. Clinica Sierra Vista’s CEO, Brian Harris, resigned from his position on April 24. We appreciate Brian’s leadership and enthusiasm. He brought positive changes to this institution, and we wish him a successful future. How many times have you checked UpToDate today? UpToDate is probably one of the most used point-of-care reference tools in the world. We’d like to recognize the work of Dr. Burton (Bud) Rose, the founder of UpToDate, who passed away on April 24. Thanks, Bud, for your contributions to the spreading of evidence-based medical knowledge. This week the media have been flooded by comments about “disinfectants”. A disinfectant is a chemical that destroys vegetative forms of harmful microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi) especially on inanimate objects. President Trump discussed with experts the possibility of developing a “disinfectant” that can be injected to kill SARS-CoV2 inside the body. An official recommendation to “inject disinfectants” was not issued, but misinterpretations and countless remarks, comments, and jokes were made. Please make sure to tell your patients that common household disinfectants are for external use only.Quote: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Albert Einstein.Dear Residents, what are you good at?  What are your talents?  I invite you to explore those things you know how to do, and continue to perfect them, we are all geniuses. Today our guest is Dr. John Ihejirika. John is one of our second-year residents in the program. We ask 5 questions in this podcast. We’ll start with the first question.Question number 1: Who are you? My name is Dr. John Ihejirika. I am one of the second-year residents at the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program, here in Bakersfield California. I am originally from Nigeria. My last name was quite a battle for most of my colleagues/coworkers to pronounce at the beginning, but most have now figured out the almost perfect pronunciation, but some still call me Dr. “Ihe” or Dr. “I”, which is still ok, ha-ha. It is pronounced “E – hay- gi- ri- car” which in my local language literally means “What I have that makes me greater than you”.  I grew up in a very humble family and attended and graduated from the College of Medicine University of Nigeria after which I practiced for a few years in General practice especially in very low resource limited communities before immigrating to the United States. It was always my dream to further my Medical career in the US, so with lots of studying, effort, persistence, hopes and prayers I find myself here today in the mist of such a wonderful group of Residents and Faculty, and lucky to be in one of the best Family Medicine Residency Programs in the country. Some of my hobbies are cooking especially Nigerian dishes, playing soccer, traveling, meeting people of different cultures, and watching movies. I am very pleased to be here today and thank you for having me.Question number 2: What did you learn this week? What I learned this week was about the management of acute urinary retention (AUR). Acute urinary retention is defined as the inability to voluntary pass urine.  I had a 68 y/o male patient that came to the clinic as a walk-in for complaints of lower abdominal pain and constipation since the previous night. Upon further questioning, I realized that he had not urinated in over 12 hours, and physical examination revealed lower abdomen/suprapubic tenderness and distention. We were able to get about 1L of urine after straight catheterization in clinic with complete resolution of his symptoms. AUR is usually common in older men and etiologies may include (1) Outflow obstruction (most common) e.g. Benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH, (2) Neurologic impairment, e.g. damage of sensory or motor nerve supply to the detrusor muscle like in spinal cord injuries, demyelination syndromes or neuropathy, (3) Inefficient detrusor muscle, (4) Medications, e.g. anticholinergics, sympathomimetic and some muscle relaxants, (5) Infections, e.g. acute prostatitis, and 6. Trauma.    Evaluation of patients with AURInitial evaluation involves getting a thorough history and Physical examination which usually reveals a patient in discomfort with suprapubic tenderness and distention. We usually pass a 14-18 Fr urethral catheter (depending on degree of resistance) to decompress the bladder and note the amount and color of urine collected. If urinary output is less than 150ml, AUR is less likely.Urine samples should be sent for urinalysis and culture. Other labs like a Basal metabolic panel (BMP) to assess any possible damage to kidney from chronic retention. PSA is usually not ordered because it can be elevated in acute episodes of urinary retention. If the urinary output exceeds 400 mL, the catheter is usually left in place for about 3-5 days after which a voiding trial is done. If postvoid residual urine volume is >300ml or patient still has lower urinary tract symptoms after the voiding trial, the catheter is usually kept in place until evaluation by Urology.  MedicationsAn alpha-1-adrenergic blocker (tamsulosin) and 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (finasteride) medications are usually prescribed, and a referral to Urology is placed at the time of initial catheterization.        Contraindications of catheterizationUrethral catheterization may be contraindicated in patients who have had recent urologic surgery, trauma to or structurally abnormal urethral opening (meatus), or failed urethral catheterization even with the smallest 10 or 12 Fr catheters. These patients should be referred urgently to Urology for possible suprapubic catheterization.      Complications after drainage of urine with a catheter.Some complication can occur during bladder decompression, which may include; Hematuria (usually resolved spontaneously or with irrigation), transient hypotension and Post obstructive diuresis (which is usually seen in chronic urinary retention).Post obstructive diuresis.Postobstructive diuresis is defined as as urine output of 200 mL/hr for two consecutive hours or >3L/24hours. It is a polyuric response initiated by the kidneys after the relief of a ureteral obstruction to eliminate accumulated solute and volume(2). This can be managed by increasing fluid intake in patients who are unable to do so or have severe post-obstructive diuresis, we measure the urine output and replace one half the urine volume with half normal saline. For example, 1 litter of urine should be replaced with 500 mL of normal saline.             Summary of Management of AUR(4). Question number 3: Why is that knowledge important for you and your patients? Acute urinary retention is a very painful and uncomfortable situation for the patient, and It is the most common urologic emergency in men.  It is also important for patients as it may be the first sign of a prostate abnormality/enlargement like BPH, as some men may not have the classic signs and symptoms of lower urinary tract obstruction previously.  It is important for you as the provider because you should be able to look out for the signs in the history e.g. constipation, inability to voluntary urinate etc. and on physical examination for patients that may be presenting with AUR especially when working in an Urgent care or Emergency room.  It also provides a mutual sense of satisfaction to both patient and provider especially when a prompt diagnosis is made and with immediate relief of symptoms after bladder decompression. Question number 4: How did you get that knowledge?I got this knowledge from my faculty, Up to Date, Review/Journal articles and from some of my personal experience.Question number 5: Where did that knowledge come from? This knowledge came from one of our very knowledgeable faculty here Dr. Parker, An article titled “Urinary Retention in Adults: Evaluation and initial management” from the AAFP website; “The Management of acute urinary retention” from the American Journal of Medicine; and  “Acute urinary retention” review topic on Up-to-Date.  You can see our website for further details on theses references.Comment: Insertion of a urinary catheter needs to be learned. I recommend you guys review the technique and practice with your nurses how to place a Foley. Maybe we can have a workshop about catheter placement. It’s important to remember the size 14-18 Fr, you can use a larger one in case of BPH. ____________________________________Speaking Medical: Tumescence by Steven SaitoDuring our daily COVID updates we are given ways to relieve stress for our medical workers.  Today we were told that self-massage was a useful form of stress relief.  Back in the military, when they told me I could massage myself, they did not use as polite a phrasing.In keeping with the theme, the word of the day is tumescence. Tumescence is the quality or state of being tumescent or swollen. Tumescence usually refers to the normal engorgement with blood of the erectile tissues. Nocturnal penile tumescence is a spontaneous erection of the penis during sleep or when waking up. Along with nocturnal clitoral tumescence, it is also known as sleep-related erection. All men without physiological erectile dysfunction experience nocturnal penile tumescence, usually 3-5 times during a period of sleep, typically during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) testing can be used in diagnostic work up for erectile dysfunction. Monitoring devices are now available that provide accurate, reproducible information quantifying the number, tumescence, and rigidity of erectile episodes a man experiences as he sleeps. Nocturnal penile tumescence testing is generally performed when the clinician is trying to assess between psychogenic and organic erectile dysfunctions (ED). Typically, men with psychogenic ED will have normal NPT results. Physiologic ED will have impaired NPT results. Espanish Por Favor: Mal de Orínby Roberto VelazquezThe Spanish word for the week is “Mal de orín”, which is actually three words: Mal – de – orín, meaning: the disease of the urine, and obviously, people use this phrase when they have any urinary symptoms, most commonly: dysuria, urinary frequency, and/or foul-smelling urine. The scenario when your patient complains of “mal de orín” may sound: “Doctor, tengo mal de orín, y no dejo de ir al baño”, what they are trying to tell you is “Doctor, I have dysuria and I may have a UTI”. As temperatures continue to raise this summer, I recommend you assess your patient’s hydration status too. Highly concentrated urine may have a stronger smell and may be confused with “mal de orín”. Now you know the Spanish word of the week, “Mal de orín”, all you need to do is to assess your patient’s “mal de orín”. For your Sanity By Alejandra Felix (MA) and Monica Kumar (MD)Ale: My doctor told me to start killing people, well, not in those exact words, he told me to reduce stress in my life. Same thing. Ale: Doctor, I have a cucumber up my nose, a carrot in my left ear and a banana in my right ear, what’s the matter with me?Dr Kumar: Oh my, you are not eating properly!________________________Conclusion: Did you know that our In-Training Exam scores in 2019 were low in male reproductive medicine? That’s why our episode number 10 was filled with “manly” topics. Dr Ihejirika talked about Acute Urinary Retention, a condition that can be effectively diagnosed and treated, resulting in a relieved patient, a satisfied resident, and a proud attending. We stayed in the same anatomical area and remembered the word tumescence, and learned the Spanish phrase “Mal de orín” as a sign of possible UTI. At the end of the episode, our MA Alejandra was a little stressed. Don’t blame her, we had a long day in clinic.This is the end of Rio Bravo qWeek. We say good bye from Bakersfield, a special place in the beautiful Central Valley of California, United States, a land where growing is happening everywhere.If you have any feedback about this podcast, contact us by email RBresidency@clinicasierravista.org, or visit our website riobravofmrp.org/qweek.

Hematuria is the diagnosis of blood in urine. Sometimes it can simply be seen as pinkish urine, but other times it can only be seen with a microscope. With hematuria, you may not have other symptoms, or you may feel pain. But, it is not normal to find blood in your urine, so it’s important to find the cause.

November is National Bladder Health Awareness Month.  According to the Urology Care Foundation the cost of treating bladder problems in the United States is 70 Billion dollars annually. Nursing home costs due to urinary incontinence are estimated at 6 billion dollars annually.  Urinary tract infections create more than 8 million doctor visits every year (5.3 of those 8 million visits are women with infections, 1.3 and 1.2 of those 8 million are children and men respectively). Millions of Americans have neurogenic bladder – a lack of bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord or other nerve problem such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, spina bifida, or nerve problems caused by diabetes or major pelvic surgery. An estimated 33 million adults in the U.S. may have overactive bladder. As if that weren't enough, here is a humbling statistic. More than 1 in 10 military service members injured in Afghanistan and Iraq have urologic trauma injuries, damaging the urinary tract or reproductive organs. In preparation for National Bladder Health Awareness Month today we are going to talk about bladder cancer. Although it doesn't make the newspapers much bladder cancer is the 5th most common non-skin cancer in the United States. It is the 4th most common cancer diagnosed in men and by the Veterans Affairs Health System. Nearly 600,000 Americans live with bladder cancer today and 75-80,000 people will be diagnosed in the United States with bladder cancer this year. An estimated 16-17,00 people will die from bladder cancer this year. According to the American Cancer Society bladder cancer is more common as a person grows older. 90% of patients with a new diagnosis of bladder cancer are over age 55, with the average age at diagnosis being 73 years old. Bladder cancer is three times more common in males than females. Whites are diagnosed with bladder cancer about twice as often as African or Hispanic Americans, but African-Americans present more commonly with advanced disease.   You are at risk for bladder cancer if you are over 55 years of age and you have one of the following five risk factors: 1. You smoke tobacco, either in the past or currently. Smoking tobacco may be the cause of half of all bladder tumors. If you need another reason to stop smoking if you are a smoker, please add bladder cancer to your list, 2. You are at risk for bladder cancer if you are exposed to chemicals in the workplace used to make plastics, paints, textiles, leather and rubber, 3. you have had prior pelvic radiation, 4. you have chronic urinary tract infections associated with neurologic disease and chronic catheterization and less commonly 5. you are a patient taking some medications linked with increasing bladder cancer risk such as the chemotherapy cyclophosphamide, the diabetes drug Actos, or dietary supplements containing aristolochic acid (mainly in herbs from the Aristolochia family). I have recently diagnosed patients with bladder cancer without significant risk factors other than age and gender. One gentleman I saw recently had come in for a routine follow up appointment for his enlarged prostate and elevated PSA number.  The day before his appointment, however, he had seen blood in his urine and mentioned it casually at the end of his appt. He was having no other symptoms. Urologists take blood in the urine very seriously.  Blood in the urine is the most common symptom of bladder cancer. When bleeding occurs because of bladder cancer it is generally painless, and is seen in the entire urine stream. If you see blood in your urine you should tell a healthcare provider so they can refer you to a urologist. Even if the blood goes away, you should still talk to your doctor about it. When you see blood in the urine, it is called "gross hematuria." Often, however, you cannot see the blood in your urine but it is detected by the laboratory with a microscope during routine checks of the urine such as during an annual physical exam. A very small amount of blood might be normal in some people and not lead to a medical condition, but ALL patients require evaluation when the amount of blood detected on the urinalysis is more than just a trace amount. Blood in the urine does not always mean that you have bladder cancer either. There are a number of other more common reasons why you may have blood in your urine: urinary tract infection, enlarged prostate or prostate infection, kidney or bladder stones, kidney disease, kidney trauma, or kidney cancer, blood thinning drugs and even a tough workout (what we call runner's hematuria) can cause blood in the urine. When blood is found in the urine, even if it's a small amount, you need to make sure there is not a tumor in the kidney or bladder, or a kidney stone or infection. We have to evaluate the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra to try to identify a source for the bleeding. A CT scan or ultrasound is ordered to look at the kidneys and ureters, with a CT scan with and without IV contrast dye being the recommended test in most cases. We can run a urine cytology or other bladder tests on the urine to see if there are changes that would indicate bladder cancer. But to evaluate specifically for bladder cancer, unfortunately, the best test is to actually look inside the bladder with a scope. We have to perform a cystoscopy, a procedure to look inside the bladder. A cystoscope is a thin flexible instrument that has a light and camera or fiberoptics at the end of it allowing us to see directly inside the bladder. To get into the bladder we have to pass the cystoscope through the urethra. Cystoscopy is done as an outpatient procedure in the clinic. The average cystoscopy takes just a minute or two. As you would expect the procedure is uncomfortable, and carries with it a small risk of infection from the introduction of the scope into the bladder. A cystoscopy is the most common procedure done in our office. There are many reasons we perform cystoscopy, to rule out cancer of course but also to evaluate the urethra, prostate, and bladder anatomy. Other symptoms of bladder cancer as well as many other urologic problems may include changes in urination. Frequent urination or pain when you pass urine called dysuria are less common symptoms of bladder cancer and often indicate other problems such as infection or overactive bladder. But to evaluate these symptoms more completely we will often perform cystoscopy, even if cancer is not suspected. Cancer is when your body cells grow out of control when the normal DNA instructions for cell growth are disrupted. Most cancers form a lump called a tumor. In the case of bladder cancer that growth occurs inside the bladder and we can visualize it directly with the scope. A review of anatomy is appropriate. The bladder is a hollow organ in the pelvis with flexible, muscular walls. The bladder is where the body stores urine before it leaves the body. The bladder can get bigger or smaller as it fills with urine and empties. When you go to the bathroom, the muscles in your bladder will contract. They then push urine out through a tube called the urethra. In addition to the muscular layer of the bladder the bladder wall has other layers, made up of different types of cells.  The inner lining is called urothelium lined by a special type of cells called transitional cells. Transitional cells are designed to make a transition are able to change shape from very bunched up and contracted when the bladder is empty to being very stretched out and thin when the bladder is full.  In a word, they “transition.” Because most bladder cancers start in the urothelium or transitional epithelium, bladder cancer is often called transitional cell carcinoma. Other types of bladder cancer exist but are much less common and include squamous cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in thin, flat cells lining the bladder) and adenocarcinoma (cancer that begins in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Transitional cell carcinomas grow typically as a polypoid growth, with a stalk and are referred to as being papillary. A person with bladder cancer will have one or more tumors in the lining of the bladder that, if I would have to describe it, appear like mini cauliflower floret, or like a sea coral waving from the ocean floor. Bladder cancers attach to the bladder wall on the lining or the surface. That is called a non-invasive tumor. As the polyp grows it can begin to invade through the top most part, the transitional epithelium to the layers underneath. Bladder cancer gets worse when it grows into or through other layers of the bladder wall. The first layer it invades is a connective layer called the lamina propria. If the cancer begins to invade into the lamina propria layer it becomes a stage 1 cancer. If the cancer is just on the surface it is not considered a stage 1 cancer but rather is referred to as superficial or a stage A cancer. Underneath the lamina propria is a muscle layer called the detrusor muscle. When the tumor reaches the muscle layer it becomes a stage 2 cancer and has a much higher chance of spreading. Beyond the muscle is the fatty connective tissue holding the bladder in place. If the cancer reaches that level it becomes a stage 3 caner. Over time, the cancer becomes a stage 4 bladder cancer grows outside the bladder into tissues close by. Bladder cancer may spread to lymph nodes, lungs, liver, bones and other parts of the body. Stage 2, 3, and 4 cancers require more surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Superficial and Stage 1 tumors may need more surgery or treatments instilled into the bladder. When we look inside a bladder and see a tumor or growth we can't officially call it a cancer until we have a biopsy. Diagnosis of bladder cancer is confirmed and staged most commonly during a transurethral resection of a bladder tumor (TURBT).  For many patients, the resection of the bladder tumor will be the only treatment they need. The tumor is resected under anesthesia in the hospital or surgery center.  A scope is placed in the bladder that has a working element that can cut the tumor off of the surface of the bladder. At this time, your doctor will stage your cancer and try to cut it away completely to get rid of the cancer. The surgeon will resect or remove all of the visible tumor if possible and send the biopsy to a pathologist who will review the specimen and assign it a stage and grade. What is left in the bladder can best be described as a divot, much like a golfer leaves his mark on the fairway, because the urologist has to get deep enough to cut the tumor completely out if possible. The bladder heals very fast, relining itself quickly with healthy urothelium. Grade and stage describe a cancer's development and guide future treatment. A tumor grade tells how aggressive the cancer cells are. A tumor stage tells how much the cancer has spread. We have already reviewed the tumor stages above. The pathologist will review the specimen and also assign a grade to the cancer. Tumors can be low or high grade. High-grade tumor cells are very abnormal, poorly organized and tend to be more serious, faster growing cells that are more likely to recur after they are removed and to invade the other layers of the bladder. A low-grade tumor has cells that are abnormal, but less aggressive looking and more uniform in character. They tend to behave less aggressively in terms of putting patients at risk for recurrence or invasion to other layers of the bladder. As I said before many patients are treated with simple resection of the bladder tumor. If the bladder cancer is superficial and low grade the treatment is most often just the removal and routine follow-up cystoscopy in the office. 50% of bladder cancers will recur. Just like dandelions in the yard, the seeds for next year's growth may lie somewhere else in the bladder already at the time of removal.  Careful follow-up is critical to finding tumors early if they recur and treating them before they advance. Routine cystoscopy is initially performed usually on a 3 months basis to make sure we catch bladder cancers early, increasing that interval as appropriate. Our story today ends on a happy note. My patient with the blood in his urine fortuitously just one day prior to his routine f/u with me had superficial bladder cancer and I was able to remove it during the transurethral resection of his bladder tumor. Although he doesn't need further treatment at this time we will need to follow him carefully because of the high rate of recurrence of tumors. Although we don't hear much about bladder cancer, it is a very common disease. Fortunately, many patients can simply have a procedure done in the hospital without further treatment. For patients needing more treatment we will have the opportunity to talk about other options for more aggressive tumors in future episodes. Let me leave you with this thought. It's best to just not get bladder cancer in the first place. There are risk factors that we can't do anything about but the biggest risk factor for bladder cancer is smoking. If you are smoker quit today.
