Define hematuria
variable, > 3 RBCs/hpf (microscopic hematuria)
false positive hematuria in urine dipstick - DDx? (4)
presence of heme despite no RBCs -- myoglobinuria, hemolysis, povidone-iodine, or presence of oxidizing agents
presence of red urine but no blood or heme
pseudohematuria
etiologies of pseudohematuria (5)
food (beets, rhubarb) or meds (pyridium, phenothiazines) or diseases (porphyria).
transient hematuria - differentials? (4)
fever, exercise, CHF, menstrual blood
initial hematuria - implication?
urethral source
terminal hematuria - implication?
bladder source
clue: hematuria and analgesic use
papillary necrosis
clue: hematuria and antibiotic use
AIN
clue: hematuria and FH or renal failure (both men and women affected)
ADPKD
clue: hematuria and FH of hematuria in men only
Alport syndrome (esp with deafness)
clue: hematuria and tobacco use or dye exposure
bladder cancer
findings in urinalysis that rules out a glomerular source
clots
findings in urinalysis that indicates a glomerular source
dysmorphic RBCs, RBC casts
urinalysis shows dysmorphic RBCs - next diagnostic steps? (8)
ANA, RF, complement levels; ANCA, anti-GBM; ASO, hepatitis serologies, cryoglobulins
lab test to order if bladder cancer suspected?
urine cytopathology
4 imaging modalities used to evaluate hematuria
IVP, US, CT, CT urogram
conditions where an IVP is used as an imaging modality in the evaluation of hematuria
IVP is the definitive test for medullary sponge kidney disease and papillary necrosis; it is superior to US for detection of stones or cancer in the ureters
When is US more advantageous as imaging modality for hematuria?
Superior to IVP for ADPKD, renal cell CA, small bladder CA
What are the disadvantages to using renal US?
Limited in detection of small solid lesions (<3 cm)
When should CT be used in the evaluation of hematuria?
Superior to IVP for nephrolithiasis; mass observed with US - CT better defines the mass
most sensitive test for hematuria
CT urogram
2 subtypes of ADPKD
ADPKD1 (85% to 95%) - chromosome 16; ADPKD2 (5% - chromosome 4
usual clinical presentation of ADPKD
gross or microscopic hematuria in 50%; hypertension; +/- flank pain, palpable abdominal mass
diagnostic test for papillary necrosis
IVP or CT urogram
conditions that precipitate papillary necrosis
SCD, DM, NSAIDs, obstruction, TB
nonglomerular causes of hematuria
exercise-induced, ADPKD, papillary necrosis, stones, infections, malignancies
3 most common glomerular causes of isolated hematuria without significant proteinuria (<500 mg/day)
IgA nephropathy, thin basement membrane disease, and Alport syndrome
diagnostic test for IgA nephropathy
Renal biopsy; IgA immune complex deposits along glomerular mesangium
treatment for IgA nephropathy
ACEI/ARB (if + proteinuria), Immunosuppressive agents (if creatinine rising rapidly or if urine protein >1 g/day); Fish oil if >1 g/day proteinuria
treatment for thin basement membrane disease (benign familial hematuria)
no treatment
treatment of Alport syndrome
supportive
associated findings in Alport syndrome (5)
High-tone sensorineural deafness; Lenticonus or cataracts; Microscopic or gross hematuria; proteinuria (late);ESRD in majority by age 35
another name for Alport syndrome
hereditary nephritis
most common types of kidney tones
Calcium-based (oxalate and phosphate): 75% (pure calcium phosphate: 5%)
first step in work-up of kidney stones
rule out obstruction (CT, US, IVP)
gold standard imaging study for nephrolithiasis
noncontrast stone protocol CT
Standard initial studies (bloodwork) for suspected kidney stones
BMP, calcium, phosphorus, uric acid levels
risk factors for stones recurrence (needs 24-hour urine collection for stone risk profile)
family history in middle-aged white men, malabsorption (Crohn or UC), chronic diarrhea, gout, and procedure required to remove stone
24 hour urine tests should be sent for ? (11)
volume, sodium, creatinine, sulfate or urea nitrogen, calcium, phosphate, uric acid, oxalate, citrate, cystine, and pH.
Identify the type of kidney stone: Envelope-shaped crystals
calcium oxalate
Identify the type of kidney stone: Radiolucent crystals
uric acid
Identify the type of kidney stone: Crystals resemble coffin lids
struvite
Identify the type of kidney stone: Hexagonal greenish-yellow crystals
cystine
Identify the type of kidney stone: Respond poorly to lithotripsy
cystine
risk factors for calcium oxalate stones
hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria, hypoctiraturia
foods high in oxalate
Baked potatoes, strawberries, okra, spinach, brewed tea, nuts, chocolate
treatment of calcium oxalate stones
(depends on etiology) hypercalciuria - low Na diet, thiazide diuretics; hyperoxaluria - avoid calcium lmitation; hyperuricosuria - decrease purine intake / allopurinol; hypocitraturia - potassium citrate
treatment of calcium phosphate stones
treat hypercalciuria - low Na diet, thiazide diuretics
risk factors for calcium phosphate stones
type 1 RTA, primary hyperPTH, alkaline urine
RF for uric acid stones
high uric acid (gout,myeloprolif disorder), acidic urine
RF for struvite stones
UTI with urease-producing bacteria (Proteus)
treatment of struvite stones
Antibiotics; stone removal by urology
RF for cystine stones
decreased tubular reabsorption of cystine (genetic defect)
treatment of cystine stones
increase fluid intake (decrease cystine conc); Alkalinize urine; meds with sulfhydryl groups to increase cystine solubility (e.g., tiopronin, penicillamine)
