![]() While, fortunately, urologic emergencies are rare, it is incumbent on providers to recognize the often-subtle clinical presentations of these conditions. Formulate a treatment plan for the most common urologic emergenciesĮmergencies are medical conditions requiring prompt treatment to minimize the likelihood of loss of organ structure or function, and in rare cases, of the patient’s life.Appropriately order imaging studies and lab tests to help evaluate the patient presenting with a urologic emergency.Distinguish, through the history and physical examination, the key features of urinary obstruction, obstructive pyelonephritis, gross hematuria with clot retention, priapism, penile fracture, Fournier’s gangrene, and paraphimosis.Describe the most frequent conditions that are considered urologic emergencies requiring immediate recognition and treatment.Key Words: Obstructive uropathy, priapism, Fournier’s gangrene, paraphimosis, trauma, testicular torsion Learing ObjectivesĪt the end of medical school, the medical student will be able to: This document will continue to be periodically updated to reflect the growing body of literature related to this topic. This document was amended in November 2022 to reflect changes in literature since it was originally released for publication in August 2017.

The immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA) using epifluorescence microscopy has been used to examine the occurrence of Cryptosporidium in sewage (1 to 120 oocysts/liter), filtered secondary treated wastewater (0.01 to 0.13 oocysts/liter), surface waters (0.001 to 107 oocysts/liter), groundwater (0.004 to 0.922 oocysts/liter) and treated drinking water (0.001 to 0.72 oocysts/liter). There have been 12 documented waterborne outbreaks in North America since 1985 in two of these (Milwaukee and Las Vegas) mortality rates in the immunocompromised ranged from 52% to 68%. ▪ Abstract Cryptosporidium has become the most important contaminant found in drinking water and is associated with a high risk of waterborne disease particularly for the immunocompromised. ![]()
