Nephrolithiasis(renal stones)

Epidemiology




Risk Factors


Up to 10% by age 70, usu in 3rd to 4th decade
4:1 M to F ratio
More prevalent in the South
Hypercalcemic states, Crohn’s, stents, RTA, infection,
gout, hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria, cystinuria
Symptoms

Asymptomatic, flank pain, hematuria
Composition
OPAQUE contains calcium +/ phosphate
 Calcium calculi


Ca oxalate, Ca phosphate
Struvite calculi

Magnesium ammonium phosphate= triple phosphate
SEMI OPAQUE contains sulphur
 Cystine calculi
LUCENT
 Uric acid stones;Xanthine
 Matrix (coagulated mucoid material)
CT Imaging of Stones

Essentially all renal and ureteral calculi have high
attenuation on non-contrast CT (all but matrix stones
have atten of > 100HU)

CT has sensitivity of 97% and specificity of 96%

Can also see hydronephrosis, hydroureter, renal
enlargement, or perirenal stranding

Must differentiate from phlebolith which is a
calcified blood clot in a pelvic vein.(appearance:
round/ovoid, smooth, central lucency, in true pelvis)

Unequivocal Obstructive
Uropathy
= Urinary tract obstruction
Unequivocal: clear etiology

Obstruction may be at any
site within GU tract

Evidence of post-renal
failure

Variable presentation
based on etiology
Sign: Hydronephrosis = dilatation of renal pelvis and ureters
Pathophysiology of Obstructive
Uropathy
Hydronephrosis
Mechanical or functional obstruction
Back up of urine flow = increased renal pressure
Tubular dilatation
Initial increase in renal blood flow
Decrease in renal blood flow
Increase in renal lymphatic flow
Initial increase in ureteral peristalsis & pelvic
muscle hypertrophy
Muscle stretched & atonic  Aperistalsis
Dilatation of ureters and renal collecting duct system
Parenchymal Atrophy
Renal failure

Clinical Presentation: Obstructive
Uropathy
Lower and Mid Tract
(Urethra and Bladder)
Hesitancy in starting urination
Lessened force
Weak stream
Terminal dribbling
Hematuria
Burning on urination
Cloudy urine (infection)
Acute urinary retention
Upper Tract
(Ureter and Kidney)
Flank pain radiating along ureter
course (distension)
Gross hematuria
Nausea/Vomiting
Fever/Chills
Burning on urination
Cloudy urine with infection
Bilateral uremia
N/V/weight loss
Renal insufficiency  Consider UTO in all patients with unexplained renal insufficiency
Urine Output Changes
Anuria = complete bilateral UTO
Partial obstruction  normal to elevated UO
Hyperkalemic renal tubular acidosis
Hypertension
Lab Abnormalities: normal, microscopic/gross hematuria, pyuria, azotemia, uremia, anemia
(2/2 chronic infection, ACD), leukocytosis
Think Anatomically:
Where is obstruction?
Proximal
etiology
Series: 53 of 380 patients
52/53 in lower 1/3 of the ureter.
Unilateral
hydronephrosis
Causes:
Ureteral stones 64%
Most Common in Distal Ureter
Ureteral edema or lucent
stones 30%
Systemic or
Neoplasms 4%
Distal etiology
Inflammatory disease 2%
Chen et al., J Emerg Med, 1997: 15; 3. 339 – 343.
Bilateral
hydronephrosis
Acute Obstruction and Anuria
Acute complete, bilateral obstruction
= Medical Emergency
Patients may die from acute
renal failure with
oliguria/anuria
Requires prompt
recognition and possible
surgical intervention
CT examination: Postcontrast axial scan: The retroperitoneal giant tumor mass compresses the
right ureter and causes hydronephrosis (arrows).
http://www.szote.u-szeged.hu/radio/panc/alep8c.htm
Diagnosis
Early diagnosis and decompression is critical to
prevent renal failure
Continue to Radiologic work-up
Ultrasonography
Test of Choice for Suspected Urinary Tract Obstruction
Screening test
Indications: Renal failure of unknown origin/Hematuria/Signs of UTO/Urolithiasis
Sensitivity for detection of chronic obstruction: 90%
Sensitivity for detection of acute obstruction: 60%
Advantages:
No allergic/toxic complications of radiocontrast media
Fast, inexpensive
Diagnose other causes of renal disease in patient with renal insufficiency of unknown origin
Polycystic Kidney Disease
Disadvantages
Nonspecific
Rarely identifies cause
False positive rate: < 25% with minimal criteria (operator dependent)
Any visualization of collecting systems
False negative with acute obstruction, dehydration, sepsis
Bowel Gas decreases sensitivity

IVU: Intravenous Urogram
Intravenous Pyelogram = Excretory Urogram
1.
Scout film  calculi?
2.
IV bolus of radiocontrast dye (ionic contrast)
3.
Series of plain films demonstrate kidneys, ureters,
urinary bladder
4. Upright film post-void to evaluate for obstruction
Advantages
Anatomy
Pathology Location
Rough indicator of function bilaterally
Low false positive rate
Detects associated conditions
Papillary necrosis  intralumenal filling defect
Caliceal blunting from previous infection
Disadvantages
Cumbersome
Requires radiocontrast
Need bowel prep with conventional IVU
Radiation dose
Need cross-sectional imaging follow up
CT Urography
Evaluate urinary tract for flow defects
Noncontrast Scout first: Urolithiasis
Coronal reconstructions: visualize entire urinary tract
Advantages over Conventional IVU
Speed
Sensitive to renal parenchyma abnormalities
Simultaneous evaluation of both renal parenchyma and
urinary tract
Cross-sectional imaging
Disadvantages
Radiation dose
Ionic Contrast reactions/cannot be used in patients in
renal failure

Contraindications for IVU/CTU
History of allergy to IV contrast
Bronchospasm, laryngeal edema, anaphylactic shock
May use with history of minor allergic reactions with preprocedural steroids, antihistamines
(diphenhydramine) 12 hours prior to study
Renal insufficiency
Pregnancy = relative contraindication (radiation exposure)
MR Urogram can be used
Likewise: children  minimize radiation doses
Pts taking oral hypoglycemics (metformin) should stop taking meds prior to study
May resume after renal function is confirmed normal
Risk of lactic acidosis
Must be Physician-Supervised
- Contrast reactions
- Minimize no. of images
- Minimize radiation
- May use Fluoroscopy
MR Urography
Sagittal contrast-enhanced excretory
MR urography obstructing right
sided papillary TCC
A. Unenhanced MR urography
Heavily T2 weighted
B. Gadolinium-enhanced excretory MR urography
C. Excretory MR urography + diuretic
10 mg furosemide IV
Gadopentetate dimeglumine
Advantages:
Distinguishes adjacent soft tissue abnormalities
With Gadolinium: functional information
No ionic contrast  OK in renal failure
No radiation  children, pregnancy women
Drawbacks
High cost
Low sensitivity in detecting calcifications
Time intensive
Metallic implants/Foreign Body = Contraindications
Blandino et al., AJR 2002; 179: 1307 -1314
Excretory Urogram/CTU/MRU
Acute Obstruction
Mild  Moderate  Marked
Kidney minimally enlarged
Dense Nephrogram
• Preferential absorption of Na and
water from diseased tubules =
concentration of contrast
Delayed appearance of contrast in
collecting system
= delayed function
Poor concentration of contrast in the
collecting tubules
No ureteral dilatation acutely
Ureters not tortuous
http://asia.elsevierhealth.com/home/sample/pdf/314.pdf
Excretory Urogram/CTU/MRU
Chronic Obstruction
Partial  Complete
Progressive dilation of collecting system
and ureters/tortuous
Urectasis = dilated ureter
Decrease number of nephrons
6-12 weeks: irreversible loss of renal
function
“Shell nephrogram” parenchymal
atrophy
Collecting system: blunt calyces/forniceal
angles

Uterine Anomalies
A defect in the embryologic development of
the Mullerian system can cause congenital
uterine anomalies

There are 7 classifications of anomalies

All can be identified by imaging

Uterine Anomalies
Class II - Unicornuate
Normal
Class III - Didelphys
Class V - Septate
Class IV - Bicornuate
Class VI - Arcuate
http://www.emedicine.com/radio/topic738.htm
Class VII - DES
Uterine Anomalies
Two classes must be differentiated in the infertility work-up:
Bicornuate:
Septate:
• Indented fundus but otherwise normal
uterine wall
• No affect on fertility
• No infertility treatment necessary
• Fibrous band projecting from fundus
into uterine cavity
• Interferes with implantation
• Surgical removal increases fertility
http://www.emedicine.com/radio/topic738.htm
Uterine Anomalies
Irregularly shaped uterine cavity on HSG  MRI
BIDMC, PACS
Uterine Anomalies
The irregularly shaped uterus seen on HSG and
MRI in the previous slides was determined to be
an arcuate (class VI) uterus. It is on the
spectrum
of bicornuate and is believed to be a normal
variant with no affects on fertility.
