ofrenal cortex
Clinical presentation: 50% = asymptomatic
• Haematuria = often painless (50%)
• Loin pain (40%) & loin mass (25%)
• Left-sided varicocele (less common)
• Signs of complications: anaemia, HTN, Cushing’s, polycythaemia,
pathological fractures (produces PTH-rp)
Chapter 15: Urology 195
Lung (cannonball mets), liver, bone, lymph nodes
Investigations:
• Hx & examination
• Urine dip: MSU and cytology
• Bloods: U&Es, anaemia, ESR, ALP, PTH, Ca
• Imaging: USS & CT = solid mass
PROGNOSIS:
(if mets <2y survival)
70% 5y survival
Management:
→ Nephrectomy/nephron-ureterectomy
→ ± Tyrosine kinase inhibitors ± immunotherapy (chemo/radio =lesseffective)
mesoderm tumour
Common presenting age: <5y
Symptoms: flank pain, abdo mass, haematuria
Management: chemo + nephrectomy
Prognosis: 80% cure rate4
Renal cysts
→ Commonly develop with age (solitary or multiple)
→ Autosomal dominant PCKD = common cause
Risk factors for renal malignancy:
1. Prolonged haemodialysis
2. Obesity, smoking, HTN, NSAIDs
3. Genetic: VHL, Birt–Hogg–Dubé
NICE guidelines
Refer anyone ≥45y on a 2ww pathway if:
• unexplained visible haematuria without UTI
• visible haematuria that persists after
successful treatment of UTI
• Often asymptomatic = found incidentally
• Mass/pain if large
• Occasionally haematuria
• PCKD causes 20% of end-stage CKD
• Simple cyst: no intervention
• Complicated cyst: further investigation & surgical intervention

→ need USS KUB & urology R/V)
3. Catheter (3‑way if haematuria)
4. Full Hx and examination (including DRE &
neuro exam)
5. Monitor fluid and electrolyte balance
• LUTS: voiding & storage
• Dysuria & haematuria at end of
stream
• Lower abdo pain
• Hx & exam: abdo & pelvic + DRE
• Bloods: FBC, CRP, U&Es, Ca, PO4,
urate, glucose, VBG (HCO3)

European Society of Urology (2021) Guidelines on bladder stones
Transurethral cystolitholapaxy
1. Cystoscope passed up urethra to
identify stones
2. Crush stones or fragment with
laser / pneumatic device
3. Bladder irrigation to remove
fragments
OR Open cystolithotomy = surgical
removal of bladder stones via a lower
abdominal incision

Chronic urinary retention
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
number of prostate cells
• Voiding symptoms ± secondary storage symptoms
• ± Haematuria
• Enlarged, smooth prostate on DRE
• Acute retention (sometimes occurs = rapid & painful)
• Symptoms: asymptomatic or LUTS, palpable
bladder, overflow incontinence, large residual
volume of urine
• Complications: UTIs, calculi, high pressure
chronic retention (HPCR) → renal impairment
& hydronephrosis
Possible complications of TURP:
Acute: bleeding, UTI
Chronic: retrograde ejaculation, impotence,
incontinence, bladder neck stenosis / urethral
stricture
1. History & examination: IPSS score & remember DRE
2. Urinalysis: dip & MCS
3. Uroflowmetry: <10ml/sec suggests obstruction
4. Bloods: including PSA
5. Transrectal USS + biopsy: definitive diagnosis
Mild Moderate Severe
1. Reassurance
2. Lifestyle
(fluid intake)
3. Follow‑up

→ SEs: retrograde ejaculation, postural
hypotension, dizziness, headache
1. TURP = gold standard
2. Other: e.g. laser/steam
3. Prostatic artery
2. ± 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors
(e.g. finasteride)
= inhibits testosterone → DHT conversion
4. Self-catheterisation /
→ pros: prostate size
→ cons: take 6w to 6m to work

NICE (2010, updated 2015) Lower urinary tract symptoms in men [CG97]

Causes
https://t.me/med1917
Accidental: RTAs, falls, crush injury, blow to lower abdomen → often concurrent
pelvic # & other intra-abdo injury
Iatrogenic: complex/emergency abdominal & pelvic surgeries
Clinical presentation
• Haematuria / dysuria / inability to void
• Suprapubic tenderness
• Abdo distension / ileus / scrotal / perineal swelling
Chapter 15: Urology 199
Types of injury:
1. Contusion: bruising
2. Intraperitoneal rupture: e.g. tear at dome
of bladder
= urine into abdo cavity → peritonitis
3. Extraperitoneal rupture: e.g. posterior
tear
= urine into surrounding tissues
Diagnosis/investigations
1. Bloods
2. Retrograde cystography or CT cystography →bladder filled with
dye&scanned
Management
1. Intraperitoneal rupture: surgical repair
2. Extraperitoneal rupture: catheter until cystography shows resolution
Urethral trauma:
Causes = penile fractures, ‘straddle injuries’
e.g. bike
→ Sx: similar to bladder trauma
→ Mx: surgery if severe, catheterise & monitor
if mild

fluid
2. Spermatocele: collection of milky
fluid that may contain sperm due to
blocked outlet
e.g. post‑vasectomy
• Superior & posterior to testicle

NICE CKS (2022) Scrotal pain and swelling; Management scenarios

Epididymo-orchitis
https://t.me/med1917
• Painful swelling of epididymis ± testicle = sudden onset (h/d)
• Dysuria, sweats, fever
• Hx of UTI/STI symptoms: discharge/dysuria/LUTS
• Unilateral scrotal swelling; tender epididymis ± testicle
• Erythematous
• Phren’s sign: pain relief with elevation of hemi-scrotum
→ Can become tense & progress to form an abscess
1. Analgesia ± scrotal support
2. Antibiotics
→ STI: doxycycline ± ceftriaxone
→ UTI: ciprofloxacin
1. Hx (sexual/LUTS)
2. Examination (abdo, penis, testicles,
DRE)

4. USS (shows blood to epididymis)
Chapter 15: Urology 201
Organisms:
STIs (chlamydia, gonococcal)
UTIs (E. coli, pseudomonas)
Rarer causes: mumps, TB, amiodarone
Top DDx = testicular torsion
Testicular torsion
• Sudden onset pain in testes = unilateral
• ± Pain in loin or groin area
• Nausea/vomiting
• Extremely tender testes = unilateral
• May be red, hot, swollen
• Testis is higher than normal & lie is transverse
• Absent cremasteric reflex
→ Scrotal exploration, detort testis & bilateral orchidopexy
→ If testis is non-viable then orchidectomy + orchidopexy of contralateral testis

High flow: arterial flow = less painful + semi-rigid (often post trauma) → ice packs
Recurrent/stuttering: painful + often self-limiting in sickle cell disease → treated
Commonly occurs when foreskin not
replaced after:
→ catheterisation
→ erection / sexual ac tivity
Risk factors for Peyronie’s: DM, HTN,
Dupuytren’s contracture, plantar fasciitis
Risk factors for priapism: SCD, leukaemia,
trauma, cocaine, cannabis, antidepressants,
pelvic tumours
