Question 1

how does one read a urology report for hematuria?

Accepted Answer

There are several...: Reports that you might be referring to. Hematuria can be detected initially by urine dipstick, which would reveal small, moderate, or large blood. A microscopic urinalysis would show more than 3 red cells per high power field. Reports for hematuria workup include: ct-ivp scan, which would reveal stones, tumors, or other abnormalities as causes; a cystoscopy note would outline cysto findings.

Question 2

have had severe pain in my back x4 days. ct shows both a 3mm bulge and hydronephrosis in r kidney ( report says r kidney larger than l). urology denied my referal my dr sent, said to them kidneys look normal. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Interesting...: Does the radiologist's report specifically say there is hydronephrosis, or is this your primary care doctor's own interpretation?  If the latter, i would side with the urologist, as he/she is generally more adept at reading imaging studies of the kidneys.  If the radiologist said there is hydronephrosis, I am very surprised that a consulted urologist would refuse to see you.

Accepted Answer

Urology examiination: Female urologic examination depends upon symptoms. Abdominal or flank pain for suspected kidney stone or kidney infection does not require genital exam. Symptoms of urinary incontinence, stress incontinece, urethral or vaginal irritation or discharge require visual genital plus possible digital exam. Concern about possible stool impaction may require digital rectal exam (inserting gloved finger)

Question 9

what is difference between nephrology and urology ?

Accepted Answer

Kidneys vs drainage: Nephrologists deal with disorders of the kidney, the organ that makes urine. Urologists are surgeons who deal with the system that takes urine from the kidney to the outside: ureters, bladder, and urethra. Urologists may also treat problems with the male reproductive tract.
Urological problems may damage the kidneys, making treatment from both doctors necesssary.

Question 10

wondering about urology test to be done if abnormal cystometry?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal cystometry: I assume by abnormal cystometry you mean a bladder test that measures your bladder capacity, emptying , and whether your bladder is poorly contractile and can't empty, or overactive and have urgency and urge incontinence. If you are a woman and have a normal urinalysis, probably nothing more but if male or have abnormal urinalysis then a cystoscopy should be done.
