Hematuria
Hematuria ! Definition
! > 3 RBC / hpf in urinary sediment ! Dipstick is screening test only ! Dipstick is 95 % sensitive, but only
about ~ 80% specific ! In population with 10% hematuria, PPV
of Dipstick is only 35% ! Positive Dipstick indicates hematuria
ONLY when confirmed by microscopy of > 3 RBC / hpf
![Page 9: 10.08.08: Diseases of the Kidney Upper Urinary Tract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554af313b4c9059f798b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hematuria
Hematuria ! Additional Characterization
! Gross (grossly visible) or microscopic? – Gross more likely significant
! If gross, is it initial (urethra), terminal (bladder neck or prostate), or total (interior of bladder or upper tract)
![Page 10: 10.08.08: Diseases of the Kidney Upper Urinary Tract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554af313b4c9059f798b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Kidney & Upper Urinary Tract: Obstruction
Causes of UPJO ! Primary
! Histological disorganization – excess longitudinal muscle fibers
(loss of normal organization) – increase in collagen – attenuation of muscle bundles
! Crossing vessels, high insertion, kinks, bands
! Secondary ! Traumatic scar, iatrogenic scar, external
compression (think cancer!)
![Page 38: 10.08.08: Diseases of the Kidney Upper Urinary Tract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554af313b4c9059f798b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Kidney & Upper Urinary Tract: Obstruction
Evaluation of UPJO ! Determine presence and degree of
obstruction ! Is there obstruction, or just dilation? ! Complete or partial obstruction?
! Determine renal function ! If kidney not working well, may be
little value in repairing ! Determine cause of obstruction
![Page 39: 10.08.08: Diseases of the Kidney Upper Urinary Tract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554af313b4c9059f798b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Kidney & Upper Urinary Tract: Obstruction
Dilation of the Urinary Tract ! Non-obstructive
! Ureteral reflux, prior obstruction, extra-renal pelvis, diuresis
! Stagnation may lead to infection and calculi, but usually innocuous
! Obstructive ! Increased resistance to urine flow that
produces increased proximal pressure and subsequent loss of organ function
! Occasionally difficult to distinguish from non-obstructive
![Page 40: 10.08.08: Diseases of the Kidney Upper Urinary Tract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554af313b4c9059f798b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

enough time

Kidney & Upper Urinary Tract: Masses & Cysts
ADPKD
! Epithelial proliferation in renal tube ! renal tubule become cyst ! as cyst grows it compresses renal parenchyma
! < 1% tubules become cysts
! Also hepatic, pancreatic and splenic cysts, and cerebral aneurysms
! Hypertension
! Renal failure - most but not all, usually in 5th decade
