TREATMENT CONTINUED…

• BALANITIS: LOTRISONE OR SIMILAR, CONSIDER CIRCUMCISION

• ATROPHIC VAGINITIS: VAGINAL ESTROGEN (IF NO RISK FACTORS)

• ABNORMAL VAGINAL BLEEDING: REFER TO GYNECOLOGY

MICROHEMATURIA

NEPHROLOGIC SOURCES

Refer to nephrology …

• If urological work up is negative

AND

• Patient has history of medical

diseases that may cause

microhematuria

• Casts are present in urine

http://zeroinfections.blogspot.com/2012/08/urinary-tract-infections.html

1/30/2018

12


• PYELONEPHRITIS

• FEVER, UNILATERAL FLANK PAIN (CAN BE IN ADDITION TO ABOVE UTI SYMPTOMS)

• SHOULD BE TREATED URGENTLY

http://www.medicinenet.com/kidney_infection/article.htm http://www.pafmj.org/editor_images/PATTERN%20OF%20URINARY%20FIGURE1.jpg


• TREAT BASED ON CULTURE & SENSITIVITIES

• URINE CULTURES NOT ALWAYS (+) FOR PROSTATITIS AND URETHRITIS

• PRE-EMPTIVE TREATMENT

• CAN USE PRIOR C&S IF AVAILABLE TO DETERMINE ANTIBIOTIC SELECTION

• SYMPTOMATIC RELIEF

• URINARY ANALGESICS (URIBEL, PYRIDIUM, AZO)

• ALPHA BLOCKERS FOR PROSTATITIS


• COMMON BACTERIA

• E.COLI (MOST COMMON)

• KLEBSIELLA

• ENTEROCOCCUS

• PROTEUS

• PSEUDOMONAS

• STAPHYLOCOCCUS

• COMMON ANTIBIOTICS USED

• FLUOROQUINOLONES (LEVAQUIN, CIPRO)

• BACTRIM

• NITROFURANTOIN

• CEPHALOSPORINS (CEFTIN, KEFLEX)

• PENICILLINS

1/30/2018

13


• UTI PREVENTION

• HYGIENE (REGARDING GARMENTS, SEXUAL ACTIVITY)

• BOWEL MANAGEMENT

• HYDRATION

• CRANBERRY SUPPLEMENTS

• PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS/ANTISEPTICS

• KEFLEX

• BACTRIM (OR TRIMETHOPRIM IF SULFA ALLERGY)

• NITROFURANTOIN (RISK OF PULMONARY FIBROSIS WITH CHRONIC USE)

• ADDRESSING STONES, INCONTINENCE, BLADDER EMPTYING, ANATOMICAL ABNORMALITY

• VAGINAL ESTROGEN FOR ATROPHIC VAGINITIS IN POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

MICROHEMATURIA & URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

• URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) IS A POSSIBLE SOURCE OF MICROHEMATURIA

• UTI SHOULD BE SUSPECTED BASED ON SYMPTOMS AND PRIOR HISTORY

• SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE DYSURIA, FREQUENCY, URGENCY, PELVIC PAIN, BACK PAIN

• CONSIDER PRIOR HISTORY OF RECURRENT OR CHRONIC UTI


• IF UTI IS SUSPECTED, A URINE CULTURE SHOULD BE SENT

• ANTIBIOTICS MAY BE STARTED EMPIRICALLY IF UTI IS SUSPECTED AND PATIENT IS SYMPTOMATIC

OR AT HIGH RISK FOR DEVELOPING A MORE SERIOUS INFECTION (PYELONEPHRITIS/SEPSIS)

• IF AVAILABLE, REVIEW PRIOR ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITIES

1/30/2018

14


IN LIGHT OF GROWING ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE, MICROHEMATURIA SHOULD NOT BE

TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTICS UNLESS A URINARY TRACT INFECTION IS STRONGLY SUSPECTED

WHEN TO REFER TO UROLOGY?

MICROHEMATURIA

• URINE MICROSCOPY >3 RBCS

• IN-OFFICE DIPSTICK UA + ON 2 TESTS

• SUSPICIOUS IMAGING FINDINGS

• RISK FACTORS

• SMOKING HISTORY

• AGE


• RECURRENT INFECTIONS

• PERSISTENT SYMPTOMS

• SUSPECTED PYELONEPHRITIS

• UTI WITH KIDNEY STONES

• SUSPCIOUS IMAGING FINDINGS

• INCONTINENCE

• URINARY RETENTION
