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.

Learning outcomes

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

 Paediatric nephrology: nephrotic syndrome, urinary tract infection in children - pyelonephritis - kidney diseases, 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.
