Treatment of a first-time renal stone consists of acute management followed by medical efforts to prevent stone recurrence. Although nephrolithiasis is roughly 50% heritable, the presence of a family history usually does not affect treatment since most stone disease is regarded as polygenic, ie not attributable to a single gene. Recent evidence has suggested that single mutations could be responsible for a larger proportion of renal stones than previously thought. This intriguing possibility holds the potential to change the management paradigm in stone prevention from metabolically directed therapy to more specific approaches informed by genetic screening and testing. This review synthesizes new findings concerning monogenic kidney stone disease, and provides a concise and clinically useful reference for monogenic causes. It is expected that increased awareness of these etiologies will lead to increased use of genetic testing in recurrent stone formers and further research into the prevalence of monogenic stone disease.We assembled a complete list of genes known to cause or influence nephrolithiasis based on recent reviews and commentaries. We then comprehensively searched PubMed® and Google Scholar™ for all research on each gene having a pertinent role in nephrolithiasis. We determined which genes could be considered monogenic causes of nephrolithiasis. One gene, ALPL, was excluded since nephrolithiasis is a relatively minor aspect of the disorder associated with the gene (hypophosphatasia). We summarized selected studies and assembled clinically relevant details.A total of 27 genes were reviewed in terms of recent findings, mode of inheritance of stone disease, known or supposed prevalence of mutations in the general population of stone patients and specific therapies or considerations.There is a distinct opportunity for increased use of genetic testing to improve the lives of pediatric and adult stone patients. Several genes first reported in association with rare disease may be loci for novel mutations, heterozygous disease and forme frustes as causes of stones in the broader population. Cases of idiopathic nephrolithiasis should be considered as potentially having a monogenic basis.

Purpose: We determined the relationship between nocturia and nocturnal polyuria. Materials and Methods: The PubMed (R) and Embase (R) databases were searched for studies written in English, German, French or Dutch with original data on adult participants in an investigation of the relationship between nocturia and nocturnal polyuria. A meta-analysis of the difference in mean nocturnal voiding frequencies between patients with and without nocturnal polyuria was conducted. Nocturnal polyuria risk was compared between participants with and without nocturia, and the resulting odds ratio was subsequently converted to relative risk with 95% CIs. Results: From 511 references identified we selected 78 publications of 66 studies, 15 of which met the inclusion criteria for this study. Quality scores of studies were generally high for internal validity but low for external validity. In 7 studies (1,416 participants) we estimated a standardized mean difference of 0.59 (95% CI 0.29-0.89) for nocturnal voids between nocturnal polyuria and nonnocturnal polyuria cases. In 8 other studies (with 2,320 participants) we calculated a pooled OR of 4.99 (3.92-6.37) for nocturnal polyuria in individuals with nocturia. The corresponding RR, based on a nocturnal polyuria risk in the pooled population of 63.8%, was 1.41 (1.37-1.44). Conclusions: The association between nocturia and nocturnal polyuria is apparent and robust. However, the clinical importance of the association appears to be less obvious than previously suggested based on single studies. The observed high prevalence of nocturnal polyuria, as a result of the applied International Continence Society definition, may be responsible for this discrepancy.

Purpose: We examine various mechanisms of post-radical prostatectomy incontinence.Materials and Methods: A total of 83 consecutive men (mean age 68 ± 6.6 years) referred for evaluation of persistent post-radical prostatectomy incontinence were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent clinical and urodynamic evaluation. Final diagnosis was based on clinical judgment considering patient history, pad test, voiding diary, free (unintubated) uroflow measurements, video urodynamics and linear passive urethral resistance relation curves. We compared free uroflow and pressure flow obtained with a 7Fr urethral catheter in place, and empirically defined low urethral compliance as at least 10 ml. per second difference between these measurements.Results: Sphincteric incontinence was the most common urodynamic finding, occurring in 73 patients (88%). Detrusor instability was identified in 28 patients (33.7%) and in 6 (7.2%) was the main cause of incontinence. In 2 other patients bladder outlet obstruction (1.2%) ...

We analyzed the correlation between pad use, as determined by objective pad count, and the severity of urinary incontinence, as measured by pad weight.We performed a retrospective study of consecutive incontinent patients who wore pads on a daily basis and were instructed to complete a 24-hour pad test. They were told to use the usual pads, change them as usual and place each in a separate plastic bag the day before the scheduled appointment. All pads were weighed and total urine loss was calculated by subtracting dry pad weight from wet pad weight, assuming that a 1 gm weight increase was equivalent to 1 ml of urine loss. The number of pads was correlated to pad weight using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient due to the nonparametric nature of the data.The 116 patients included 51 men 39 to 89 years old (mean age 66) and 65 women 27 to 95 years old (mean age 72). When comparing the number of pads used to the gm of urine lost, the Spearman ρ was 0.26 (p=0.005) in the total cohort, and 0.40 and 0.26 (each p0.05) in males and females, respectively.There was little correlation between the number of pads used and the severity of urinary incontinence (r=0.26). These data suggest that pad count should not be used as an objective measure of incontinence severity. Instead, pad weight on a 24-hour pad test should be used.

Purpose: Nocturnal polyuria is a common but often overlooked cause of nocturia. We investigated the proportion of adults with 2 or greater voids nightly who had nocturnal polyuria in 2 cohorts from the United States and Europe. Materials and Methods: Data on nocturnal polyuria were obtained from 3 or 7-day frequency-volume charts completed by patients as part of screening for inclusion in subsequent trials of nocturia therapy. Patients recorded the time and volume of each void. Nocturnal polyuria was defined as nocturnal urine volume greater than 33% of 24-hour volume, including the first morning void. Results: In the first cohort 1,003 patients were screened, of whom 846 provided evaluable diary data, including 641 (76%) with nocturnal polyuria. Of the total screened population of 1,003 patients 641 (64%) had confirmed nocturnal polyuria. The prevalence of nocturnal polyuria increased with age but was high in all age groups. In the second cohort 1,412 patients were screened, of whom 917 provided evaluable diary data, including 806 (88%) with nocturnal polyuria. Of the total screened population of 1,412 patients 806 (57%) had confirmed nocturnal polyuria. The prevalence of nocturnal polyuria increased with age but was high in all age groups. Of 158 patients receiving benign prostatic hyperplasia and/or overactive bladder medication 141 (89%) had nocturnal polyuria. In each cohort the nocturnal polyuria prevalence was high in all ethnic groups (63% or greater). Conclusions: In this large study nocturnal polyuria was present in most patients with nocturia regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, country and concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia/overactive bladder therapy.

We determined the differential diagnosis of concomitant pathological conditions in men with overactive bladder symptoms.We performed an observational, descriptive study to elucidate the differential diagnosis in men with overactive bladder symptoms using a previously validated overactive bladder symptom questionnaire. All patients provided an extensive history, completed the self-administered questionnaire and a 24-hour voiding diary, and underwent physical examination, 24-hour pad test, uroflowmetry, post-void residual urine measurement, cystoscopy and urodynamics. Selection criteria were developed to assign cases to a category, including idiopathic overactive bladder, benign prostatic enlargement, benign prostatic obstruction, neurogenic bladder, bladder cancer, prostate cancer treatment complications, urethral stricture, bladder stones and bladder diverticulum.Of 122 men who met selection criteria for overactive bladder detrusor overactivity was identified in 99 (79%) on urodynamics. The differential diagnosis was benign prostatic enlargement in 40 men (32%), benign prostatic obstruction in 27 (22%), complications of prostate cancer treatment in 25 (20%), neurogenic bladder in 13 (11%), urethral stricture in 7 (6%), idiopathic overactive bladder in 6 (5%), bladder stone in 2 (2%), bladder cancer in 1 (1%) and bladder diverticulum in 1 (1%).Overactive bladder is a complex diagnosis with many underlying, contributing urological pathologies. It should be considered a symptom complex and not a syndrome. Knowledge of the differential diagnosis in men with overactive bladder symptoms would hopefully provide clinicians with a diagnostic rubric to more specifically treat such patients with improved success.

Nocturia is caused by increased nocturnal urine output (nocturnal polyuria) and/or diminished nocturnal bladder capacity. We retrospectively evaluated the causes of nocturia in patients with overactive bladder and nocturia.A total of 850 patients (18 years or older) with symptoms of overactive bladder (8 or more micturitions per 24 hours and urgency or urgency urinary incontinence) and nocturia (mean of 2.5 or more episodes per night) were enrolled in a 12-week study of tolterodine ER (4 mg QD) vs placebo. Of this total 845 patients (417 men and 428 women) completed 7-day bladder diaries. Patients were stratified post hoc by sex and age groups (less than 50, 50 to 70, more than 70 years). Indices of nocturnal urine production (nocturia index, nocturnal polyuria index and nocturnal bladder capacity index) were compared using ANOVA (alpha level 0.05). Higher nocturia index and nocturnal polyuria index values suggest that nocturia occurs because of nocturnal urine overproduction. Higher nocturnal bladder capacity index values suggest that nocturia occurs because of decreased nocturnal bladder capacity.There were no statistically significant gender or age related differences in baseline nocturnal micturitions. Nocturia index increased significantly with age (p0.0001), and values were significantly higher among men than women for all age groups (p = 0.0064). Nocturnal polyuria index increased significantly with age (p0.0001) and there were no gender differences. For nocturnal bladder capacity index there was a significant decrease with advancing age among men (1.75 greater than 1.16 greater than 0.90) and women (1.53 greater than 1.42 greater than 1.08, P(interaction) = 0.0148).In younger patients with overactive bladder, decreased nocturnal bladder capacity has a greater role in the pathogenesis of nocturia symptoms, whereas in older patients increased nocturnal urine output has a greater role.

Purpose: We reviewed the definition and etiologies of nocturia, offering the current diagnostic procedures and standards of care.Materials and Methods: We reviewed recent published literature regarding nocturia, along with current paradigms for diagnosis and management.Results: Nocturia is common as a limited occurrence but troublesome if the patient regularly experiences more than 2 episodes during sleep hours. The 4 principle etiologies associated with nocturia (nocturnal polyuria, decreased nocturnal bladder capacity, mixed polyuria, and global polyuria) may be easily differentiated through mathematical analysis of a 24-hour bladder diary.Conclusions: Nocturia is highly treatable in many patients. Identification of the precise type and its cause enable clinicians to minimize the inconvenience and sleep deprivation associated with nocturia.

Purpose: We evaluated long-term outcomes in patients undergoing augmentation enterocystoplasty (AC) (with or without an abdominal stoma) or continent urinary diversion in patients with benign urological disorders. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 76 consecutive adults who underwent AC (with or without an abdominal stoma) or continent urinary diversion because of benign urological conditions. The outcomes assessed were a patient satisfaction questionnaire, continence status, catheterization status, bladder capacity, bladder compliance, detrusor instability, maximum detrusor pressure, upper tract status, significant postoperative morbidity, need for reoperation, persistent diarrhea and vitamin B12 deficiency. Results: The 76 patients (18 men and 58 women) were 19 to 80 years old (mean age 49). Followup was 1 to 19 years (mean 8.9). Preoperative diagnoses were neurogenic bladder in 41 patients, refractory detrusor overactivity in 9, interstitial cystitis in 7, end stage bladder disease in 7, radiation cystitis in 3, exstrophy in 3, postoperative urethral obstruction in 3 and low bladder compliance in 3. A total of 50 patients underwent simple AC, 15 underwent AC with an abdominal stoma and 11 underwent continent supravesical diversion. Of the 71 evaluable patients 49 (69%) considered themselves cured, 14 (20%) considered themselves improved and 8 (11%) considered treatment to have failed. All 7 patients with interstitial cystitis had failed treatment. Mean bladder capacity increased from 166 to 572 ml and mean maximum detrusor pressure decreased from 53 to 14 cm H 2 O. Serum creatinine improved or remained normal in all patients. Five patients experienced persistent diarrhea requiring intermittent antispasmodics but none had vitamin B12 deficiency, pernicious anemia or malabsorption syndrome. Long-term complications were stomal stenosis or incontinence in 11 of 26 patients (42%) with stomas, de novo bladder and renal stones in 2 of 71 (3%) and 1 of 71 (1%), respectively, and recurrent bladder stones in 6%. Small bowel obstruction occurred in 5 of 71 patients (7%), requiring surgical exploration in 4 (6%). Conclusions: AC and urinary diversion provide a safe and effective long-term therapy in patients with refractory neurogenic bladder but stomal problems in patients with continent diversion continue to be a source of complications.

We compared the clinical and urodynamic characteristics of men referred for evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms in community based versus referral urological practices and examined the various pathophysiological mechanisms of these symptoms.We reviewed a multicenter urodynamics database of 963 consecutive men referred for the evaluation of persistent lower urinary tract symptoms at 2 community based and 1 urological referral center. Of the 963 patients in the database 422 (44%) were excluded from study due to neurological disorder in 41%, previous urinary or pelvic surgery in 27% and the use of medications known to affect voiding in 24%. A total of 541 patients with a mean age plus or minus standard deviation of 64.4 +/- 13.8 years met study inclusion criteria and were analyzed further. We compared the clinical and urodynamic characteristics of patients at the community and referral centers.Lower urinary tract symptoms were equally common in men presenting to community and referral centers. The most common symptom was difficult voiding, followed by frequency, urgency and nocturia in 58%, 54%, 43% and 40% of the study population, respectively. Urodynamic diagnoses were also similar in the 2 groups. Although bladder outlet obstruction was diagnosed in 69% of patients, it was the only urodynamic finding in a third of the patients with obstruction. The main concomitant urodynamic diagnoses were detrusor overactivity, bladder hyposensitivity, impaired detrusor contractility, low bladder compliance and bladder hypersensitivity in 47%, 10%, 10%, 9% and 3% of obstructed cases, respectively.The pathophysiology of lower urinary tract symptoms in men is multifactorial, and similar at community practice and tertiary referral centers. The disparity in urodynamic findings and subjective symptoms emphasizes the need for a thorough and early clinical and urodynamic evaluation.

Of 8 patients with symptoms of advanced cystitis due to pelvic radiation treated with hyperbaric oxygen 7 are persistently improved during followup. All 6 patients treated for gross hematuria requiring hospitalization have been free of symptoms for an average of 24 months (range 6 to 43 months). One patient treated for stress incontinence currently is dry despite little change in bladder capacity, implying salutary effect from hyperbaric oxygen on the sphincter mechanism. One patient with radiation-induced prostatitis failed to respond. This experience suggests that hyperbaric oxygen should be considered the primary treatment for patients with symptomatic radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.

Penile condyloma acuminatum is a rare pediatric entity. We report on a 17-month-old boy with penile and urethral condyloma acuminatum. The presence of cervical dysplasia in a histological setting suggestive of condyloma in his mother supports congenital acquisition of the disease. Histological and histochemical evidence for a viral etiology of the disease in the mother and patient is presented.

Primary urethral melanoma in male subjects is rare and optimum therapy has not been established. We describe a male patient with a primary urethral melanoma that arose in a precursor nevus and was treated by excision, bilateral groin dissections and postoperative radiation therapy. Urinary and sexual functions have been maintained. We review the previously reported cases of urethral melanoma in male subjects. The biologic relationship of melanoma to precursor lesions in mucosal sites is discussed.
