24. Urinalysis: A Comprehensive Review.

Abstract

A complete urinalysis includes physical, chemical, and microscopic examinations. Midstream clean collection is acceptable in most situations, but the specimen should be examined within two hours of collection. Cloudy urine often is a result of precipitated phosphate crystals in alkaline urine, but pyuria also can be the cause. A strong odor may be the result of a concentrated specimen rather than a urinary tract infection. Dipstick urinalysis is convenient, but false-positive and false-negative results can occur. Specific gravity provides a reliable assessment of the patient's hydration status. Microhematuria has a range of causes, from benign to life threatening. Glomerular, renal, and urologic causes of microhematuria often can be differentiated by other elements of the urinalysis. Although transient proteinuria typically is a benign condition, persistent proteinuria requires further work-up. Uncomplicated urinary tract infections diagnosed by positive leukocyte esterase and nitrite tests can be treated without culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

31. Bilateral Complete Ureteral Obstruction Secondary to an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Perianeurysmal Fibrosis: Diagnosis by Computed Tomography

Author

Pahira, John J., Wein, Alan J., Barker, Clyde F., Banner, Marc P., Arger, Peter H., Mulhern, Charles, and Pollack, Howard

Abstract

The sixteenth case of bilateral ureteral obstruction with anuria secondary to an abdominal aortic aneurysm with perianeurysmal fibrosis Is presented. The details of this case clearly indicate the need for a combined vascular and urologic approach to patients with this disorder. A complete preoperative evaluation, including excretory urography, retrograde pyeloureterography, aortography and, when Indicated, venacavography, may determine renal and vascular abnormalities that will allow a more definitive and successful management of this difficult problem. Furthermore, we believe that the use of computed tomography is an invaluable tool to define this retroperitoneal disease process and its precise relationship to the ureters.

32. Ureteral Stricture: Experience with 31 Cases

Author

O’brien, Walter M., Maxted, William C., and Pahira, John J.

Abstract

We reviewed the records of 31 patients treated during the last 5 years for ureteral stricture disease. The causes of stricture formation included ureteroenteral anastomoses (23 per cent), open ureterolithotomy (19 per cent), ureteroscopy (19 per cent), other urological procedures (16 per cent), general surgical and gynecological procedures (13 per cent) and miscellaneous causes (7 per cent).

34. Acute Focal Bacterial Nephritis: A Systematic Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment

Author

Zaontz, Mark R., Pahira, John J., Wolfman, Mark, Gargurevich, Antonio J., and Zeman, Robert K.

Abstract

Acute focal bacterial nephritis, synonymous with acute lobar nephronia or focal nonliquefactive pyelonephritis, represents a localized area of renal inflammation. Clinically, acute focal bacterial nephritis presents as acute pyelonephritis but is distinguishable by the presence of a focal mass on excretory urography. The further distinction between acute focal bacterial nephritis and other renal masses is aided by the appropriate use of renal sonography and computerized tomography. The clinical and imaging manifestations in 9 patients with acute focal bacterial nephritis are described. Our experience coupled with a review of the literature suggests that a systematic approach to the diagnosis and management of acute focal bacterial nephritis allows for the most efficacious use of the noninvasive imaging modalities.

36. Intraoperative Localization of Renal Calculi

Author

Pahira, John J. and Elyaderani, Morteza K.

Abstract

With the success of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy and the percutaneous techniques of stone removal, conventional stone surgery will be reserved for the more complex cases. In order to reduce the recurrence rate, it is essential that all free calculi be removed at the time of surgery. The authors would suggest careful preoperative evaluation of stones with intravenous urography, tomography, and appropriate oblique and lateral views to determine size, number, and location of all calculi. Retrograde studies with a combination of contrast and CO2can further define caliceal arrangement and identify obstructed calices or narrowed infundibuli that may require surgical repair.
