About The Webinar
Urinary tract diseases are common in our patients and can pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A logical approach based on accurate localisation of the symptoms is key and then dictates which tests might be most appropriate. A range of diagnostic tests will be outlined including urine analysis, blood analysis, diagnostic imaging (ultrasound, radiographs, use of contrast, advanced imaging) and cystoscopy. It is important to be aware of the pros, cons and limitations of each test in order to maximise the information obtained and the reliability of these results. A general therapeutic approach will also be discussed, focusing on addressing the underlying issue as well as any complications, along with case examples to highlight some of the common diseases encountered (urinary incontinence, chronic urinary tract infection, urolithiasis).
