therapy for renal calculis

(8-10) 8oz glasses a day of water= 3000mL of water by mouth or IV unless it is contraindicated urine output to exceed 2L per day encourage ambulation send home with a strainer

Pre-procedure for a cytoscopy

- NPO - ENEMA - SEDATIVE - BREATHING EXERCISES - monitor for pre-procedure hypotension

Other reasons for elevated BUN

- Urinary tract obstruction - tissue breakdown - increased protein metabolism (burn victims) - heart failure - volume level changes

why would you straight cath someone?

- a urine specimen - urinary retention and you are emptying your patients bladder

changes with aging

- decrease in size (atrophy) - decrease in blood flow - decrease in urine concentration - decrease in hormone secretion GFR decreases 1% per year after age 30 (by 65, GFR is about 65mL per minute... half the rate of a young person)

Triple Lumen Foley Catheter

- glycine irrigation - rate adjusted to maintain pink drainage - tension on foley balloon to reduce hemorrhage - tension removed after 12-24 hrs

Post-procedure for a cytoscopy

- increase fluids - monitor I/O - it is OKAY if the urine is slightly discolored (just not bright red). - pain meds - assess for leg cramps/back pain/AB pain - sitz bag

how do you calculate urine output when irrigation is also flowing into the foley bag

- keep track of how much irrigation you are infusing - subtract irrigation from urine output= just the urine Example: you have 1500mL of urine + glycine over 4hrs. you infused 1000mL of glycine. 1. 1500-1000= 500mL 2. 500/4= 125mL of urine per hour

Elevated BUN can indicate

- kidney dysfunction - dehydration

straight catheter facts that will be on the exam

clinical manifestations for BPH

- reduction in urine stream - hesitancy - frequency - nocturia - straining to urinate - post-void dribbling - dysuria - urinary retention

Reasons for decreased BUN level

- severe hepatic damage - overhydration - malnutrition

- urethral strictures - bladder net contractures - retrograde ejaculation (semen goes back up into the bladder) - urinary incontinence

serum creatinine will not increase until

50% of renal function is already lost ANY elevation is important

What is the difference in prostate cancer and BPH?

Unlike prostate cancer, BPH is not cancerous nor is it fatal. During a physical exam, if you have BPH, your healthcare provider will notice your prostate feels larger than it should be. Your PSA tests will also come back elevated. Whereas in prostate cancer, the sides of the prostate are usually affected, in BPH the central portion of the prostate is usually affected. Also, unlike cancer, BPH cannot spread. - PSA goes UP with BOTH. - prostate cancer would have: nodular, bumpy, firm, enlarged prostate

leukocyte esterase test and nitrite testing

a positive leukocyte esterase test alone is insufficient to make the diagnosis If both nitrites and leukocyte esterase are positive, it is strongly suggestive of UTI.

HCG

also many indicate testicular cancer

Glycine irrigation

anti-coagulant effect which is very important. the prostate is very vascular so a TURP is a bloody procedure and could result in blood clots. Pay close attention that the glycine does not run out. Hang next bag immediately after one runs out and order another one.
