πŸ“Œ Keep in your Mind :

β†ͺ️ Dysphagia should always be taken seriously and should prompt further evaluation .

β†ͺ️ Distinguish between oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia at the beginning of the interview.

β†ͺ️ The duration and frequency of a patient’s dysphagia provide useful clues and can help make the
diagnosis.

β†ͺ️ Dysphagia to solid food is most often due to a mechanical obstruction, whereas dysphagia to solid and liquid food is often due to a motor (motility) disorder.

β†ͺ️Glomerular hematuria
⁃ Dysmorphic RBC
⁃ RBC cast
⁃ Proteinuria > 500 mg/ day
⁃ No clots

Non-glomerular hematuria
⁃ Clots
⁃ No Dysmorphic RBC
⁃ No RBC cast
⁃ No Proteinuria
⭕️Alarm Symptoms .
πŸ“Œ Keep in your Mind :

β†ͺ️ The first priority is to determine whether the discoloration is due to blood in the urine or another cause.

β†ͺ️ All patients with even a single episode of gross hematuria should receive a thorough history and physical examination
followed by urologic or nephrologic evaluation .

*Both microscopic and gross hematuria can be manifestations of serious disease, including malignancy.


β†ͺ️Even in patients with transient causes, if there are significant risk factors for malignancy, further evaluation should be considered.

β†ͺ️ older men with microscopic or gross hematuria are more likely to have a genitourinary malignancy, diagnostic evaluation should be pursued even in the presence of nocturia, polyuria, and decreased force of urinary stream ( suggestive of BPH ).
