Renal renin-angiotensin system dysregulation caused by partial bladder outlet obstruction in fetal sheep. (1/154)

BACKGROUND: To determine whether fetal renal obstruction activates the renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS), an important mediator in normal kidney development and obstructive nephropathy, we used a model of fetal partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO). METHODS: Total RNA and protein was extracted from kidney of sheep fetuses with partial bladder outlet obstruction created at 95 days gestation, after 2 (N = 6) and 5 weeks of obstruction (term; N = 6), and from normal fetal sheep at various time points between 60 and 135 days of gestation (total N = 19). Relative levels of mRNA for renin, angiotensinogen, type 1 and 2 angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors (AT-1 and AT-2), and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) were assessed by semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Expression levels of AT-2 receptor protein were measured by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: Renin mRNA expression was increased (250%) after two weeks of obstruction. In normal fetuses, AT-1 expression was low at 60 to 75 days of gestation and increased toward the end of gestation, whereas AT-2 expression showed a reversed pattern. At 109 days, PBOO caused an increased expression of AT-2 mRNA compared with normals (400%). Correspondingly, AT-2 receptor protein was more abundant in obstructed kidneys. TGF-beta1 mRNA expression was significantly increased in obstructed kidneys at 109 days gestation. CONCLUSIONS: These observations confirm the reciprocal developmental regulation of AT-1 and AT-2 receptors' expression, suggesting their functional role in renal development. Partial bladder outlet obstruction produces specific alterations: increased renin expression and altered balance of receptor subtypes, which may induce altered functional and vascular regulation of the obstructed fetal kidney. TGF-beta1, a mediator of Ang II-induced fibrosis, may play a role in inducing and propagating interstitial fibrosis.  (+info)

The diagnostic yield of intravenous urography. (2/154)

BACKGROUND: Intravenous urography (IVU) is considered an integral imaging component of the nephro-urological work-up in a wide array of clinical settings. At our institution there is an open-access policy with regard to requesting IVU studies. METHODS: In a prospective, blinded observational study we undertook to assess the diagnostic yield of IVU with respect to the source of referral (i.e. Urology, Nephrology, GP, A & E, other speciality) and the presenting features, such as renal colic, haematuria, bladder outflow obstruction, recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) etc. Two hundred consecutive patients were evaluated. RESULTS: Overall, 23% of tests were positive. There was a highly significant difference in diagnostic yield between the groups (P<0.001 for both referral source and test indication). A positive result was most likely after referral by a kidney specialist (37.1%) and when the test indication was renal colic (42%) or haematuria (32%). The yield was <15% in all other circumstances, with 94.9% and 92.1% of GP- and other hospital speciality-initiated IVUs being negative. When investigating recurrent UTI, 91.7% of tests were negative and 86.2% were negative when the indication was bladder outflow obstruction. CONCLUSIONS: It is suggested that an open access policy for IVU is not justified, especially when cost and the risk associated with contrast media and radiation exposure are taken into account. Our study supports the abandonment of routine IVU in the investigation of UTI and bladder outflow obstruction.  (+info)

Fetal penile length. (3/154)

OBJECTIVE: To construct a reference range for fetal penile length. METHODS: The length of the penis was measured during ultrasound assessment of 95 structurally normal male fetuses of gestational ages 16-38 weeks. Two fetuses with bladder outflow obstruction were also examined. RESULTS: Fetal penile length increases significantly with gestational age, from a mean value of 6.0 mm at 16 weeks to 26.4 mm at 38 weeks. One fetus with urethral agenesis had a penile length on the 0.3rd centile. CONCLUSIONS: Measurement of the fetal penis is easy and not time-consuming. In cases of bladder outflow obstruction, assessment of penile length assists in the differentiation between urethral agenesis and posterior urethral valves.  (+info)

Bladder outflow obstruction masquerading as pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction. (4/154)

We report a case of bladder outflow obstruction presenting with upper tract dilatation mistaken initially as pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction. The lower tract obstruction ought to be dealt with first before upper tract obstruction is assessed because the renal pelvic pressure is significantly affected by vesical filling and high bladder pressure.  (+info)

Use of the uroflow study in the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction in elderly men. (5/154)

The uroflow and pressure-flow data of 67 men aged 65 years or more were compared. At best, the uroflow study applying the Liverpool nomogram (25th percentile) and Bristol nomogram (OSD) diagnosed bladder outlet obstruction with sensitivity of 62.5% and 62.5% and specificity of 48.8% and 74.4% respectively. Using the 50th percentile of the Liverpool nomogram as the cut-off resulted in a negative predictive value of 100.0% allowing about 10% of men to have this diagnosis ruled out. We conclude that the uroflow study is inaccurate in diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction in elderly men. However, it can be used to rule out this condition in the small subset of men with maximum flow rates above the 50th percentile of the Liverpool nomogram.  (+info)

Evaluation for Madigan's prostatectomy in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. (6/154)

AIM: To comparatively evaluate the efficacy and post-operative complications of the Madigan's prostatectomy (MPC) and suprapubic prostatectomy (SPPC). METHODS: A total of 43 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were divided into two groups: 21 underwent MPC and 22, SPPC. In all the patients, the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and urinary pressure-flow studies were assessed before and 6 months after operation. The International Continence Society (ICS) nomogram, Abrams-Griffiths (AG) number and linear passive urethral resistance relation analysis (L-PURR) were used to diagnose and grade bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). The IPSS and the urodynamic parameters before and after operation, as well as the advantages and post-operative complications were recorded and compared. RESULTS: Patients of both the MPC and SPPC groups had a significant improvement in IPSS and urodynamic parameters. Obstruction was relieved in 81.0% of MPC and 86.4% of SPPC patients. MPC has the advantages of the absence of postoperative hematuria and post-catheter stricture, a shorter period of hospitalization, and lower incidence of retrograde ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. CONCLUSION: Both MPC and SPPC can effectively relieve BOO. MPC has certain advantages and a lower incidence of complications as compared with SPPC.  (+info)

The effectiveness of reducing the daily dose of finasteride in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. (7/154)

BACKGROUND: Finasteride, a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor, is an established treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The recommended dosage is 5 mg a day, however case reports have show effectiveness with lower doses. The objective of the current study was to determine in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, previously treated for at least one year with finasteride 5 mg daily, if they will maintain subjective and objective improvements in urinary obstruction when treated with 2.5 mg of finasteride daily for one year. METHODS: In an open label, prospective study, 40 men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, previously treated for at least one year with 5 mg of finasteride, took 2.5 mg of finasteride daily for one year. Measurements included AUA symptom score, maximum flow rate, voided volume and PSA. RESULTS: There were no significant changes in maximum flow rate, voided volume, or AUA symptom score after one year of finasteride 2.5 mg daily therapy. PSA increased significantly, p <.01, after one year of finasteride 2.5 mg daily, 2.0 +1.4 ng/ml, when compared to finasteride 5 mg daily, 1.4+ 1.0 ng/ml. CONCLUSIONS: The daily dose of finasteride can be reduced to 2.5 mg daily without significant effect on subjective and objective measures of urinary obstruction. Although statistically significant increases in PSA are noted when reducing the daily finasteride dose from 5 mg to 2.5 mg, the clinical significance of a mean.6 ng/ml increase in PSA is questionable.  (+info)

Fetal, perinatal, and infant death with congenital renal anomaly. (8/154)

AIMS: To ascertain why 19.6% of pregnancies in which a fetal renal anomaly has been detected fail to produce a surviving child, and whether antenatal diagnostic accuracy has altered since specialised fetal medicine units were established in 1995. METHODS: An analysis of deaths was conducted among fetuses and babies with a congenital abnormality in the urinary tract notified to the Northern Region Congenital Abnormality Survey (NorCAS). There were 560 deaths among 2857 cases with an anomaly in the urinary tract delivered between 19 February 1984 and 21 March 2000. RESULTS: Renal anomaly was the cause of death in 323 (57.7%) cases. Excluding 10 which were not screened, 126 (60%) of 210 pre-1995 had been suspected antenatally and 81 (78.6%) of 103 post-1995. No abnormality had been suspected in 39 (18.6%) cases pre-1995 and four (3.9%) post-1995. Postnatal death occurred in 89 (41.4%) pre-1995 and in 13 (12%) post-1995. There were 209 cases of death caused by anomalies in other systems but with a renal anomaly present, of which 66 (31.6 %) were chromosomal and 36 (54.5%) had a horseshoe kidney. Of the cases with a horseshoe kidney, 56.3% had a chromosomal anomaly. CONCLUSIONS: The antenatal diagnosis of renal anomalies which cause death did not improve significantly in the second period of this study. However, the number of false positive antenatal diagnoses and the number of postnatal deaths were significantly lower and the number of pregnancy terminations were significantly higher. This reduced the risk of delivering a live baby with an unexpected fatal renal anomaly.  (+info)

Urinary bladder neck obstruction is a medical condition that refers to a partial or complete blockage at the bladder neck, which is the area where the bladder connects to the urethra. This obstruction can be caused by various factors such as prostate enlargement, bladder tumors, scar tissue, or nerve damage.

The bladder neck obstruction can lead to difficulty in urinating, a weak urine stream, and the need to strain while urinating. In severe cases, it can cause urinary retention, kidney failure, and other complications. Treatment for this condition depends on the underlying cause and may include medications, surgery, or minimally invasive procedures.

The urinary bladder is a muscular, hollow organ in the pelvis that stores urine before it is released from the body. It expands as it fills with urine and contracts when emptying. The typical adult bladder can hold between 400 to 600 milliliters of urine for about 2-5 hours before the urge to urinate occurs. The wall of the bladder contains several layers, including a mucous membrane, a layer of smooth muscle (detrusor muscle), and an outer fibrous adventitia. The muscles of the bladder neck and urethra remain contracted to prevent leakage of urine during filling, and they relax during voiding to allow the urine to flow out through the urethra.

Urinary Bladder Neoplasms are abnormal growths or tumors in the urinary bladder, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Malignant neoplasms can be further classified into various types of bladder cancer, such as urothelial carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma. These malignant tumors often invade surrounding tissues and organs, potentially spreading to other parts of the body (metastasis), which can lead to serious health consequences if not detected and treated promptly and effectively.

Urinary bladder diseases refer to a range of conditions that affect the urinary bladder, a muscular sac located in the pelvis that stores urine before it is excreted from the body. These diseases can impair the bladder's ability to store or empty urine properly, leading to various symptoms and complications. Here are some common urinary bladder diseases with their medical definitions:

1. Cystitis: This is an inflammation of the bladder, often caused by bacterial infections (known as UTI - Urinary Tract Infection). However, it can also be triggered by irritants, radiation therapy, or chemical exposure.
2. Overactive Bladder (OAB): A group of symptoms that include urgency, frequency, and, in some cases, urge incontinence. The bladder muscle contracts excessively, causing a strong, sudden desire to urinate.
3. Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS): A chronic bladder condition characterized by pain, pressure, or discomfort in the bladder and pelvic region, often accompanied by urinary frequency and urgency. Unlike cystitis, IC/BPS is not caused by infection, but its exact cause remains unknown.
4. Bladder Cancer: The abnormal growth of cancerous cells within the bladder lining or muscle. It can present as non-muscle-invasive (superficial) or muscle-invasive, depending on whether the tumor has grown into the bladder muscle.
5. Bladder Diverticula: Small sac-like pouches that form in the bladder lining and protrude outward through its wall. These may result from increased bladder pressure due to conditions like OAB or an enlarged prostate.
6. Neurogenic Bladder: A condition where nerve damage or dysfunction affects the bladder's ability to store or empty urine properly. This can lead to symptoms such as incontinence, urgency, and retention.
7. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Although not a bladder disease itself, BPH is a common condition in older men where the prostate gland enlarges, putting pressure on the bladder and urethra, leading to urinary symptoms like frequency, urgency, and hesitancy.

Understanding these various bladder conditions can help individuals identify potential issues early on and seek appropriate medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. In males, it also serves as the conduit for semen during ejaculation. The male urethra is longer than the female urethra and is divided into sections: the prostatic, membranous, and spongy (or penile) urethra. The female urethra extends from the bladder to the external urethral orifice, which is located just above the vaginal opening.

Urinary bladder calculi, also known as bladder stones, refer to the formation of solid mineral deposits within the urinary bladder. These calculi develop when urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together, forming a stone. Bladder stones can vary in size, ranging from tiny sand-like particles to larger ones that can occupy a significant portion of the bladder's volume.

Bladder stones typically form as a result of underlying urinary tract issues, such as bladder infection, enlarged prostate, nerve damage, or urinary retention. Symptoms may include lower abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, blood in the urine, and sudden, strong urges to urinate. If left untreated, bladder stones can lead to complications like urinary tract infections and kidney damage. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the stones or using other minimally invasive procedures to break them up and remove the fragments.

"Calculi" is a medical term that refers to abnormal concretions or hard masses formed within the body, usually in hollow organs or cavities. These masses are typically composed of minerals such as calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, or magnesium ammonium phosphate, and can vary in size from tiny granules to large stones. The plural form of the Latin word "calculus" (meaning "pebble"), calculi are commonly known as "stones." They can occur in various locations within the body, including the kidneys, gallbladder, urinary bladder, and prostate gland. The presence of calculi can cause a range of symptoms, such as pain, obstruction, infection, or inflammation, depending on their size, location, and composition.

"Foreign bodies" refer to any object or substance that is not normally present in a particular location within the body. These can range from relatively harmless items such as splinters or pieces of food in the skin or gastrointestinal tract, to more serious objects like bullets or sharp instruments that can cause significant damage and infection.

Foreign bodies can enter the body through various routes, including ingestion, inhalation, injection, or penetrating trauma. The location of the foreign body will determine the potential for harm and the necessary treatment. Some foreign bodies may pass through the body without causing harm, while others may require medical intervention such as removal or surgical extraction.

It is important to seek medical attention if a foreign body is suspected, as untreated foreign bodies can lead to complications such as infection, inflammation, and tissue damage.

Urinary diversion is a surgical procedure that involves the creation of a new way for urine to leave the body, bypassing the native urinary system. This is typically performed in individuals who have damaged or removed urinary systems due to conditions such as cancer, severe trauma, or congenital abnormalities.

There are several types of urinary diversions, including:

1. Ileal Conduit: A segment of the small intestine (ileum) is used to create a passageway for urine to flow from the ureters to an external collection bag or pouch worn on the abdomen.
2. Continent Urinary Reservoir: A pouch-like reservoir is created using a segment of the intestine, which is then connected to the ureters. The patient periodically empties the reservoir through a stoma (opening) in the abdominal wall using a catheter.
3. Orthotopic Neobladder: A pouch-like reservoir is created using a segment of the intestine, which is then connected to the urethra, allowing for normal urination through the native urethral opening.

These procedures can significantly improve the quality of life for patients with severe urinary system damage or disease, although they do come with potential complications such as infections, stone formation, and electrolyte imbalances.

Ureterostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening from one or both ureters, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, to the abdominal wall. This allows urine to bypass the bladder and be expelled through the opening, called a stoma, into a collection device or onto the skin where it can be absorbed by a pad or diaper.

Ureterostomy is typically performed as a temporary measure in cases of severe bladder injury, infection, or obstruction that cannot be immediately corrected. It may also be used as a permanent solution for patients with congenital abnormalities or conditions that prevent the normal flow of urine through the bladder.

There are two main types of ureterostomy: cutaneous and uretero-cutanoeostomy. In a cutaneous ureterostomy, the ureter is brought directly to the abdominal wall and sutured in place. In a uretero-cutanoeostomy, a piece of intestine is used to create a conduit between the ureter and the abdominal wall.

Like any surgical procedure, ureterostomy carries risks such as bleeding, infection, and injury to surrounding organs. Patients who undergo this procedure will require close monitoring and follow-up care to ensure proper healing and function of the stoma.
