Study Notes

  1. Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra make up the genitourinary tract.
  2. The kidneys sit at the level of T12-L3 and receive 15-20% of cardiac output.
  3. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is the best overall measure of kidney function.
  4. Acute renal failure is a rapid decrease in renal function and can result in death without medical intervention.
  5. Chronic kidney disease is a long-standing progressive deterioration of renal function and can lead to multiple complications.
  6. Nephrolithiasis is the formation of renal stones and can cause renal colic pain.
  7. Renal neoplasm is a rare type of cancer that accounts for 1-2% of all adult cancers.
  8. Haematuria is the most common presentation of renal neoplasm.
  9. Diagnosis of kidney diseases involves blood tests, urinalysis, and imaging studies.
  10. Treatment options include medical management, surgical intervention, and lifestyle modifications.
  • Urethra and bladder are part of the genitourinary tract
  • Neurogenic bladder is caused by neurologic damage and can result in overflow incontinence
  • Bladder calculi are stones that form due to urinary stasis in the bladder and can cause infection
  • Urinary tract infections are common and may have symptoms like burning pain and fever
  • Bladder cancer is usually transitional cell carcinoma and can metastasize to other parts of the body
  • Diagnosis for these conditions may involve imaging tests and urine culture
  • Treatment options include antibiotics, surgery, and chemotherapy
  • Chiropractic management can help with post-surgical care and hygiene advice
