Urologic Emergencies Management and Treatment Strategies

Overview

Urologic emergencies refer to conditions that require immediate medical attention due to their potential for serious complications. These emergencies can range from life-threatening conditions such as urosepsis to painful conditions such as kidney stones.

In this blog post, we will discuss the management and treatment strategies for some common urologic emergencies.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

UTIs are a very common urologic emergency, especially in women. Symptoms include burning pain during urination, increased frequency and urgency to urinate and fever. UTIs can cause major problems, like kidney infections if they are not addressed.

Management: The first step in managing a UTI is to obtain a urine culture to identify the bacteria causing the infection. Antibiotics are then prescribed based on the culture results. For intravenous antibiotics, hospitalization may be required in extreme cases.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are solid masses made of crystals that form in the kidneys. Severe side or back discomfort, nausea, vomiting, and blood in the urine are all symptoms. Kidney damage and urinary tract obstruction can both result from kidney stones in extreme circumstances.

Management: Treatment for kidney stones depends on the size and location of the stone. Pain management with analgesics is important to help patients cope with severe pain. Small stones can be treated with medication and hydration to help pass the stone. Large stones may require surgery or shock wave lithotripsy to break up the stone.

Testicular Torsion

Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood flow to the testicle. The scrotum will be extremely painful, swollen, and red. Testicular torsion is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention as the testicle can die within hours of torsion.

Management: Surgery is the primary treatment for testicular torsion. The goal of surgery is to untwist the cord and restore blood flow to the testicle. It might be necessary to remove the testicle if it is significantly injured.

Urosepsis

Urosepsis is a severe infection that occurs when a urinary tract infection spreads to the bloodstream. Symptoms include fever, chills, confusion and rapid breathing. Urosepsis is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention.

Management: Treatment for urosepsis includes hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics and supportive care. In severe cases, patients may require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Acute Urinary Retention

When a person is unable to empty their bladder, acute urine retention develops, causing excruciating agony and discomfort. Causes include prostate enlargement, bladder stones, and neurological conditions.

Management: Using a urinary catheter to empty the bladder is part of the treatment for acute urine retention. In some circumstances, surgery can be required to address the retention's underlying cause.

Conclusion

 urologic emergencies require prompt medical attention to prevent serious complications. Early identification and treatment are key to successful management. If you are experiencing symptoms of a urologic emergency, seek medical attention immediately. If you are seeking such as urological condition please visit for better constancy

UROSEPSIS-EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION 

[mrsballlegs]

There’s multiple reasons I haven’t let them train me to do open hearts (mostly I don’t like that it could either be a textbook easy recovery or you could be mass transfusing while stroking out while unable to get a hold of the surgeon) but I’m not gonna lie the proportion of awake patients doesn’t help sell it especially since many of our hearts come out on night shift…. I’m an micu and former stepdown nurse the truth is I’d rather torture someone who’s mostly vegetable that I don’t have to talk to than intentionally wake up an intubated patient and start making them do shit in the middle of the night. It’s bad enough I have to deal with their awake asses a day or two later when they’re stuck on balloon pump or prisma. And I hate breaking my back dragging the stable ones out of bed because they’re on sternal precautions and can barely help

[creepyscritches]

I'm going to be interviewing for a position move I've been dying to get into since I started my career and I'm 🥺 my superiors almost tailored the position to me before ever talking to me abt if I was interested and I've had two different employees (one mine and one on our sister team) independently reach out to ask if I was going for the position--one of them even told her supervisor that she and the other hiring manager should pick me for the role 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I love my job.....

[insipid-drivel]

Hey, you. Yes, you. When was the last time you remembered to go pee? Now do me a favor on your way to the bathroom and stand on the very tips of your toes if you can, and then drop down with your full weight onto your heels.

Did it suddenly hurt somewhere in your back/abdomen on one or both sides? Congratulations! You may have a kidney infection! Get to urgent care/the ER ASAP because you need antibiotics before the infection spreads! It probably started out as a UTI or bladder infection you didn’t notice or that didn’t respond to medication the first time - superbugs are real, y’all.

No shame. Asymptomatic UTIs and bladder infections are surprisingly common and sometimes manifest with as little as an increased or decreased need to go to the bathroom. Some people get very ill with them because they have sensitivities to things like bath soap and are used to ignoring urinary pain. It happens all the time, is a major contributor to hospital/doctor bills, can be deadly, and about 40% of all AFAB people are destined to get a urinary infection of some kind in their lifetime. They’re less common in AMAB people (about 12% likelihood), but just as hazardous if left untreated. An untreated urinary infection can lead to Urosepsis, which isn’t nearly as fun as Eurovision. Urosepsis has a 30%-40% mortality rate.

For those interested, here’s how and why your piss pipes can turn dangerous: 

Kidney infections can be, and sometimes are, lethal. That UTI you had that resolved without antibiotics? Well, you got lucky, assuming you’re sure the initial infection cleared up on its own. Most kidney infections start out as urinary tract infections. It’s most usually caused by E. Coli, which is present on most surfaces, including other people’s skin. E. Coli is usually harmless unless it manages to infect, and if you notice that you get UTIs whenever you’re sexually active, a very common cause is a sensitivity to the bacteria natural to your partner’s body; you can reduce your chances of an infection by washing before sex and making sure you go pee as soon as you’re done to literally rinse out your urethra. Condoms and dental dams can also help depending upon your body chemistry, but not always. Properly using a bidet (they come in portable travel-size models now for like, $30, Americans) can also drastically help reduce your risk of an infection.

The problem is that the renal (pee) system is all connected by tubes and hoses that can be very easy for bacteria to climb. Here’s a very generic, non-gendered diagram:

(source)

Regardless of what you’ve got from a reproductive standpoint, that’s pretty much it! Same wiring and everything, save for that people who are AFAB aren’t typically born with prostates, which isn’t part of the renal system at all. People with short urethras (AFAB people, intersex, endocrine syndrome, etc) contract UTIS and bladder infections. AFAB or AFAB-similar people have a 40% likelihood of contracting a common UTI at least once in their lives. AMAB people only have about a 12% chance. The difference is so drastic because said AMAB people have pretty average external genitalia and therefore a much longer urethra than average for bacteria to try to survive colonizing. Drinking water and going to the bathroom regularly are highly effective at preventing a renal infection, because the bacteria literally has to climb its way from the urethra to the kidneys. Urinating helps to wash it out. Depending upon your immune system, it can take days or even weeks before the bacteria reaches your kidneys if that’s what’s going to happen.

Not only are kidney infections incredibly painful (There Will Be Blood), but those yellow nodules on top of the kidneys in that diagram I posted up there? Those are your adrenal glands. Where all of your adrenaline comes from. Those major veins and arteries also can give the bacteria unmitigated access to the bloodstream, which generally leads to sepsis, shock, and death. If your adrenal glands are infected, it can cause them to release dangerous amounts of adrenaline that can stress, damage, and even cause the heart to stop.

And no, cranberry juice and cranberry supplements will not cure you. If you have a full-blown infection, go to the doctor. You need a full course of antibiotics at the very least and probably urinary painkillers. AZO makes an over-the-counter brand in the US. It is non-addictive, temporarily stops the pain, but dyes your pee an electric orange color that will stain your underwear (fun fact: if you’re a swimmer or diver you can get a prescription for a version that turns your pee blue instead so nobody can see you pee in the water; my mom used it when she was a SCUBA diver). AZO is also responsible for making UTI home-test kits that you can buy on Amazon. The renal benefits of cranberries is largely a myth. The compound, which is good for a lot of other uses, is called D-Mannose, which kinda-sorta maybe can make it harder for bacteria to stick to the walls of your renal system and more easily flush out when you pee, but you do not want to play chicken with septic shock. It will kick your ass and you will die. If you’re experiencing urinary pain and/or a fever, get to the doctor.

[greenyvertekins]

Thank God my Kidney ain’t acting up it seems. I tend to mistake middle back pain from EDS and nausea for Kidney issues. I was diagnosed 13 years ago with a deformed Kidney. Which causes problems in that it doesn’t have correct “plumbing”. Nearly died from a serious infection which caused Urosepsis and the ultrasound scan I had whilst hospitalized to check for Kidney damage revealed the deformity. I hope I never have to go through illness that severe ever again.

What Are Common Urological Conditions in Seniors?

Navigating Urological Health in Older Adults

As individuals journey through the golden years of life, prioritizing urological health becomes increasingly essential. Aging brings about changes in the body, and the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs are not exempt from this process. Understanding the common urological conditions that affect older adults empowers both individuals and caregivers to take proactive steps towards maintaining optimal health and well-being. Exploring the services of the best urologists in Jamaica can provide invaluable support and guidance in managing and treating these conditions effectively.

Prostate Enlargement (BPH):

One of the most prevalent urological issues faced by older men is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition involves the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weak urine stream, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. While BPH is not life-threatening, its symptoms can significantly impact quality of life. Treatment options range from medications to surgical interventions, tailored to the severity of symptoms and individual preferences.

Urinary Incontinence:

Urinary incontinence, the involuntary leakage of urine, becomes more common with age, particularly among older women. This condition can manifest as stress incontinence (leakage with physical activity), urge incontinence (sudden, intense urge to urinate), or overflow incontinence (inability to empty the bladder completely). Effective management strategies include pelvic floor exercises, behavioral therapies, medications, and in some cases, surgical procedures.

Urinary Retention: 

Older adults may also experience urinary retention, the inability to empty the bladder fully. This can result from various factors, including BPH, nerve damage, medications, or structural abnormalities. Chronic urinary retention increases the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bladder damage. Treatment often involves catheterization to drain the bladder and addressing the underlying cause.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): 

UTIs are common among older adults and can present with vague symptoms such as confusion, agitation, or generalized weakness, rather than the typical urinary symptoms seen in younger individuals. UTIs in older adults may be associated with factors such as bladder dysfunction, urinary catheterization, or underlying medical conditions. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy are crucial to prevent complications such as urosepsis.

Kidney Stones: 

While kidney stones can occur at any age, their incidence tends to increase with age. Older adults may be more prone to dehydration, reduced kidney function, and changes in urinary composition, predisposing them to stone formation. Management of kidney stones may involve pain management, hydration, and in some cases, procedures such as lithotripsy or surgical intervention to remove larger stones.

Urological Cancers: 

Aging is a significant risk factor for urological cancers, including prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer. Regular screenings and early detection are paramount for favourable outcomes. Treatment options vary depending on the type and stage of cancer but may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies. In conclusion, navigating urological health in older adults requires a multifaceted approach encompassing preventive measures, timely screenings, and tailored interventions. By prioritizing urological wellness and addressing any emerging concerns promptly, older adults can enjoy a fulfilling and vibrant quality of life in their later years.

Cefepime (4th generation cephalosporin) covers pseudomonas whereas ceftriaxone (third generation cephalosporin) doesn't. Pts with indwelling Foley catheters often have pseudomonas, so you need pseudomonas coverage.

Have you ever had a colleague make a comment about your work that you wish you could have framed?

Had to give handoff to our scary antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist, who kind of hates me at baseline, and he muttered this under his breath as though grudgingly impressed.

[zephyrplatypus]

Gonna be honest, doing this doesn't feel very good. I never like asking for help, nonetheless asking for financial help. I never thought I was going to be one of the numbers and numbers of gofundme's for medical expenses. Yet here we are.

My younger sister back in March became seriously, seriously ill while living on campus. After finally bringing her to a local emergency room, it was revealed that she had urosepsis that developed from a severe kidney infection. She would've died that night if we didn't bring her in.

She spent over a week in the hospital, several of those days in the ICU fighting for her life. During that period of time, it was revealed that she might have heart issues as a result of late-term effects from her childhood cancer treatment. Now we have to find her a cardiologist to look further into this, as well.

We're now figuring out the final medical expenses and they're uh... very, very large bills. Did you know that sepsis is one of the most expensive emergency medical conditions to treat? <:)

We're looking at a possible goal of $10k right now, given anything that our insurance sorts out. We don't know if that's a definite though, as we didn't have local CA insurance at the time. We moved across the country only a number of months ago and are still figuring out switching over stuff like insurance. The actual medical bill costs may be much, much higher, but we're hoping for the best and going with $10k for now. We're hoping that's all we'll need.

Me and my family are no stranger to extremely high hospital bills. As I referenced, my sister was diagnosed with Leukemia at six years old back in 2008. The hospital bills were so absolutely enormous that it forced my family to file bankruptcy, lose our family business, our house, and our cars. Me and my sister are just starting out our adult lives in California and starting/finishing up college. I don't want to go through what we had experienced before all over again. I really don't.

Any donation and sharing around of this would literally mean the world and beyond to me. Having these expenses taken care of would take such a huge weight off my back, given the already enough stress of work, school, and my mental and physical health that I have to deal with daily. Thank you so much to anyone in advance who considers donating or boosting.
