Study Notes
Structural Abnormalities
- Horseshoe kidney: kidneys fused into a U-shape, typically asymptomatic
- Hypospadias: urethral opening on the underside of the penis, may cause chordee (penile bowing)
- Epispadias: urethral opening on the top of the penis
- Exstrophy of the bladder: bladder protrudes through the abdominal wall, ideally corrected within 72 hours of birth
Nephroblastoma (Wilms Tumor)
- An embryonal kidney tumor, most common between ages 2-3
- Symptoms:
- Enlarged abdomen
- Abdominal pain
- Blood in urine
- Anemia
- Fever
- High blood pressure due to excessive renin secretion
- Diagnosis: surgical biopsy, imaging to assess spread
- Treatment: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation
- Survival rate exceeds 90%, but long-term risks include heart failure, kidney failure, and hypertension
Childhood Incontinence (Enuresis)
- Involuntary urination beyond the age of 5
- Primary Enuresis: never achieved bladder control
- Secondary Enuresis: previously achieved bladder control but lost it
- Daytime or nighttime
- Possible causes:
- Underlying medical conditions (UTIs, congenital defects)
- Increased urine production (diabetes, sickle cell disease)
- Developmental delays
- Genetics
- Sleep disorders (obstructive sleep apnea)
- Psychological factors (ADHD, stress)
- Diagnosis: medical history, urine test, physical exam
- Treatment: education, timed voiding, fluid management, UTI treatment, medication for overactive bladder
Female Reproductive System
- External Genitalia (vulva): mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, perineum
- Internal Genitalia: vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries
Female Sex Hormones
- Estrogen: estradiol, estrone, estriol
- Develops reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics, maintains pregnancy
- Androgen: produced by the adrenal cortex and ovaries
- Promotes skeletal growth, pubic hair growth, acne, libido
- Progesterone:
- Regulates the menstrual cycle
- “Hormone of pregnancy”
- Maintains the thickened uterine lining (endometrium)
- Relaxes uterine muscles
- Thickens the myometrium (muscle layer of uterus)
- Stimulates lactation
Menstrual Cycle
- Menarche: first menstrual cycle
- Menopause: cessation of menstrual flow for at least a year
- Average cycle length: 28 days
- Phases:
- Menstruation (menses): shedding of the endometrium
- Follicular/Proliferative: follicle matures, endometrium thickens
- Ovulation: release of egg from mature follicle
- Luteal/Secretory: follicle becomes corpus luteum, secreting progesterone; endometrium is prepared for implantation
- If fertilized, human gonadotropin (hCG) supports the corpus luteum (hCG is detectable in urine)
- If not fertilized, corpus luteum degenerates, progesterone levels drop, and endometrium is shed
Follicle Development
- Corpus luteum: forms after ovulation
- Enlarges and produces hormones to maintain pregnancy if fertilization occurs
- Degenerates after 14 days if fertilization doesn't occur.
Male Reproductive System
- External Genitalia: scrotum, testes, epididymis, vas deferens, penis
- Internal Genitalia: ducts (vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, urethra) and glands (seminal vesicles, prostate, Cowper's gland)
Male Sex Hormones
- Androgens:
- Testosterone: primary androgen; produced in Leydig cells of the testes
- Responsible for sexual differentiation
- Development of the reproductive tract
- Nervous and skeletal system development
- Libido
Structural Abnormalities
- Horseshoe Kidney: Kidneys are fused, forming a U-shape. Usually asymptomatic.
- Hypospadias: Urethral opening is on the underside of the penis. Penis may be rotated or "bowed". Surgery typically occurs between 6-12 months of age.
- Epispadias: Urethral opening is on the top of the penis.
- Exstrophy of the Bladder: Bladder protrudes through the abdominal wall. Surgery is ideal within 72 hours of birth.
Nephroblastoma (Wilms Tumor)
- An embryonal tumor of the kidney, most common between ages 2-3.
-
Clinical Manifestations:
- Enlarging abdominal mass (usually found by parents).
- Abdominal pain, hematuria, anemia, fever.
- Hypertension, due to excessive renin secretion by the tumor.
- Diagnosis: Surgical biopsy, imaging to assess for metastasis.
- Treatment: Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation.
- Survival rate > 90%, but long-term risks include heart failure, kidney failure, and hypertension.
Childhood Incontinence (Enuresis)
- Involuntary urination in children beyond the expected age of bladder control (~5 years old).
-
Types:
- Primary Enuresis: Child has never been fully continent.
- Secondary Enuresis: Child was continent, but now has incontinence.
-
Theories for Incontinence:
- Organic causes: UTIs, congenital defects.
- Factors increasing urine production: Diabetes, sickle cell disease.
- Maturational lag: Developmental delay.
- Genetic factors.
- Sleep patterns: Obstructive sleep apnea.
- Psychosocial factors: ADHD, stress (new sibling).
- Diagnosis: History, urinalysis, physical exam.
- Treatment: Education, timed voiding, fluid management, UTI treatment. Medications are available for overactive bladders.
Female Reproductive System
- External Genitalia (Vulva): Mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, perineum.
- Internal Genitalia: Vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries.
Female Sex Hormones
- Estrogen: Important for reproductive organ maturation, secondary sex characteristic development, and pregnancy maintenance.
- Androgens: Contribute to skeletal growth, pubic hair growth, activate sebaceous glands (acne), and influence libido.
-
Progesterone: Controls the menstrual cycle, and is the "hormone of pregnancy". It:
- Maintains the thickened endometrium.
- Relaxes smooth muscle to aid uterus expansion.
- Thickens the myometrium for labor readiness.
- Promotes lactation.
Menstrual Cycle
- Menarche: First menstruation.
- Menopause: Cessation of menstruation for one year.
- Average cycle: 28 days, starting on day 1 of menses.
-
Phases:
- Menstruation (Menses): Shedding of the endometrium.
- Follicular/Proliferative Phase: Follicle maturation and endometrium proliferation.
- Ovulation: Release of an ovum from the mature follicle.
-
Luteal/Secretory Phase: Follicle becomes the corpus luteum, secreting progesterone. The endometrium prepares for implantation.
- If fertilization occurs, hCG supports the corpus luteum.
- If no fertilization, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to menstruation.
- Follicle Development: After ovulation, the follicle becomes the corpus luteum. If fertilization occurs, it enlarges and supports pregnancy. Otherwise, it degenerates after 14 days.
Male Reproductive System
- External Genitalia: Scrotum, testes, epididymis, vas deferens, and penis.
- Internal Genitalia: Ducts (vas deferens, ejaculatory, urethra), and glands ( seminal vesicles, prostate, Cowper's glands).
Male Sex Hormones
- Androgens: Primary androgen is testosterone, produced in the Leydig cells of the testes.
-
Testosterone: Important for:
- Sexual differentiation.
- Urogenital system development.
- Nervous and skeletal tissue development.
- Libido.
Structural Abnormalities
- Horseshoe kidney: Kidneys fused into a U-shape, usually asymptomatic.
-
Hypospadias: Urethral opening located on the underside of the penis.
- Chordee: Penile rotation or bending to the right or left.
- Surgery: Usually performed between 6-12 months of age to correct the condition.
- Epispadias: Urethral opening on the top surface of the penis.
-
Exstrophy of the bladder: Bladder protrudes through the abdominal wall.
- Treatment: Requires prompt surgical repair ideally within the first 72 hours of the infant's life.

-
Embryonal tumor of the kidney: Peak incidence between ages 2-3 years.
-
Clinical Manifestations:

Diagnosis: Surgical biopsy and imaging to identify metastases.
-
Treatment: Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
-
Survival: Greater than 90%, but long-term risks include heart failure, kidney failure, and hypertension.
