Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
Medical pathology (nephrology including paediatric nephrology) and surgical pathology (urology including paediatric urology). The course also encompasses pathology, pharmacology and pharmacotherapy, as well as diagnostic imaging related to the main content. Small group seminaries: Differential diagnoses in nephrology; urinary lithiasis.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
Key concepts in main uro-nephrological disorders (kidney, urinary tract and male genital diseases), with focus on the most frequent and the most relevant ones in terms of morbidity-mortality, taking into account their age-related specificities. Through an integrated medico-surgical approach, diagnostic problems (clinical, imaging and pathological aspects) and current treatment of the main diseases are learned, as well as tools for future continuous medical education. Secondary objective: urology and nephrology complements |

Content
These courses use formal ex-cathedra lectures as well as small group seminaries. Urology (including paediatric urology) - Introduction (urological examination) - Congenital anomalies - Functional problems in urology: micturition disorders and erectile dysfunction - Urinary lithiases - UTI's : urinary tract infections - Urogenital tumors including benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), urothelial tumors, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), prostate carcinoma, testicular cancers, Tumors in children - Genitalia Nephrology: Chronic renal insufficiency - Diagnostic procedures in nephrology - Glomerular nephropathy - Urinary tract infection - Chronic interstitial nephritis - Hypertension - Vascular nephropathies - Kidney and pregnancy - Kidney and dysglobulinemia - Hereditary nephropathies - Acute renal insufficiency - Substitutive therapy of chronic renal insufficiency. Paediatric nephrology: nephrotic syndrom, urinary tract infection in children - pyelonephritis - renal insufficiency, acute & chronic, aetiology and semiology. Imaging: illustration of major lesions of urogenital tract with specific indications and limits of each test in order to prepare future physician to the optimal use of medical imaging. Pathology: essential bases to establish relationships between macroscopic and microscopic aspects of lesions and their clinical manifestations.
Other information
Evaluation: 1° at the end of the first trimester, evaluation of knowledge by QCM and QROC tests. 2° at the end of the year, oral test to evaluate the ability to solve a clinical problem. Study material and course books: annually updated
