Study Notes
• Urinary tract disorders include urinary tract infection, bladder cancer, and urinary incontinence. • The urinary tract consists of the kidneys, bladder, and urethra, with the bladder storing urine and voiding intermittently under voluntary control. • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is common in men, while urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in women, and urinary incontinence affects both sexes. • Symptoms of urinary tract disease include frequency of micturition, dysuria, haematuria, and urinary retention. • Urinary tract infection (UTI) has an incidence of 50,000/million/year, accounting for 1-2% of patients in primary care, and is more common in women. • Cystitis is a common form of UTI, characterized by inflammation of the bladder, and can be acute or chronic. • Cystitis is mainly caused by infection, with E. coli and Proteus being the most common pathogens, and can also be caused by radiation or drugs. • Symptoms of cystitis include urgency, frequency, dysuria, and lower abdominal pain and tenderness, with complications including pyelonephritis. • Diagnosis of cystitis involves urine bacterial count, microscopy, and WBCs, and treatment typically involves a 3-5 day course of antibiotics and high fluid intake. • Bladder tumours can be benign or malignant, with transitional cell carcinomas being the most common type of malignant tumour. • Transitional cell carcinomas are more common in men, typically affect individuals over 50 years old, and are often asymptomatic until incurable at diagnosis. • Risk factors for transitional cell carcinoma include smoking, exposure to acrylamine chemicals, and certain drugs. • Pathology of transitional cell carcinoma involves two main types: papillary and sessile tumours, which can be in situ or invasive and graded according to cytological atypia. • Symptoms of transitional cell carcinoma include painless haematuria, symptoms of UTI, and symptoms of local invasion. • Diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma involves urine cytological examination and cystoscopy for pathology, and treatment depends on the stage and histological grade. • Urinary incontinence is defined as involuntary loss of urine, affecting 25% of women and 15% of men over 65 years old. • Types of urinary incontinence include urge incontinence, stress incontinence, overflow incontinence, and functional incontinence. • Treatment of urinary incontinence depends on the type, with options including bladder training, antimuscarinics, pelvic floor exercises, removal of obstruction, and improvement of facilities.
