Table 2 shows risk in relation to BPH by presence of comorbid conditions of the GU tract (e.g., stones, infections, etc).
In stratified analyses, we separately evaluated risk among BPH patients with recorded complications of the outflow obstruction (stones, infections), which also are possible risk factors for bladder cancer (Chow et al, 1997).
Renal SLEDAI was calculated by summing the scores of the following parameters: urinary casts (heme-granular or red blood cell casts), hematuria (> 5 RBC/HPF by excluding stones, infections, or other causes), proteinuria (> 0.5 gram/24 hours) and pyuria (> 5 WBC/HPF by excluding infections).
Obstruction may arise from blockage by a hard mass of fecal matter (a fecal stone), by infection with parasites, or by the presence of a foreign object.
And Ron-Ron knows all about that, because he said in response to some of his followers that he had both a kidney stone and infection.
As outlined above, observational studies show that radiographic imaging is rarely useful, but computed tomography or ultrasound can be considered if a nidus (such as a stone) of infection is suspected.
Struvite stones (also known as "infection stones", urease or triple-phosphate stones), form most often in the presence of infection by urea-splitting bacteria.
Suggested diagnoses include cancer, kidney stones, urinary infection, and diabetes.
Do not include kidney stones, bladder infections, or incontinence".
