ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A rare condition in itself, acquired hemophilia A, seldom presents as isolated gross hematuria. It is a serious condition with a high mortality rate and thus clinical suspicion followed by prompt diagnosis is imperative (1). In fact, only 8 cases of such presentation of this condition have been reported thus far in the literature. Of these, none describe the initial presentation of hematuria with the inciting event of a kidney stone. We present a case of a 67-year-old man with signs and symptoms of nephrolithiasis accompanied by profuse hematuria, who was subsequently found to have developed expression of factor VIII inhibitor leading to acquired hemophilia A.

ABSTRACT

Urodynamic testing is the study of the function of the bladder and its outlet. Geriatric patients are at greater risk for lower urinary tract dysfunction owing to age or neurologic disease, such as Parkinson disease or stroke. Although urodynamic testing may best diagnose an individual patient's bladder storage and emptying function, the tests should be tailored to answer the question being asked and the test should only be done when the outcome of the test is going to impact decision making regarding management or treatment.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: We examined the effect of caffeine (Sigma®) on voiding patterns in mice and characterized potential changes in bladder function and sensory signaling. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 12 mice were fed high dose (150 mg/kg) caffeine daily for 2 weeks. Micturition frequency and volume were recorded at baseline and at the end point. The effects of chronic low dose (10 mg/kg) caffeine on voiding patterns were examined in 7 mice, which were subsequently studied using awake cystometry. In a separate study to characterize the effects of acute caffeine consumption on bladder function and sensory signaling cystometry was performed in 6 mice. Bladder extracellular multifiber afferent signaling was recorded at baseline and 1 hour after feeding low dose caffeine. In a separate group of mice baseline cystometrograms were done using normal saline, followed by a caffeine filling solution. RESULTS: Compared to pretreatment conditions, daily oral high dose caffeine resulted in a significant increase in average micturition frequency and a decreased average volume per void. In animals fed low dose caffeine cystometry demonstrated a statistically significant increase in filling and threshold bladder pressure compared to caffeine naïve animals. Acute low dose caffeine ingestion resulted in a significant increase in filling pressure, an increased frequency of nonvoiding bladder contractions, a decrease in cystometric capacity and a 7.2-fold increase in the average firing rate of afferent nerves during filling. Caffeine administered intravesically had no effect on cystometric parameters. CONCLUSIONS: Oral caffeine administration results in detrusor overactivity and increased bladder sensory signaling in the mouse.
