Growing Up isn’t for the Faint of Bladder: Urologic Concerns in Geriatric Patients-Matthew Uhlman, MD

A common adage in Urology is, “It’s not if you’ll see us, it’s when”. As patient’s get older, this seems to hold more and more true. As the population continues to grow up, more patients over the age of 65 are presenting with Urologic problems. While many treatment options exist for such patients, special considerations must be given to geriatric patients. This presentation will help primary care physicians identify age specific treatment options for some of the most common Urologic issues facing their geriatric patients.

Special Aspects of Geriatric Pharmacology-William Elliott, MD, PhD

Older (or perhaps more properly, -mature) individuals are special for many reasons, and drug prescribing for them should also be special. They are much more likely than younger, healthier patients to suffer adverse drug experiences. Some of this can be ascribed to the natural decline in real function that occurs with age (which is often not accounted for by prescribers); much of the rest can be attributed to a normal decline in respiratory and cardiac function, the greater probability of other diseases, polypharmacy directed to these other diseases, and changes in sensitivity of the CNS to many drugs that act there (e.g., opioids). Many managed care organizations search for prescriptions that are deemed -inappropriate for use in older people, and use this as an inverse quality of care indicator. We will review the classes of drugs (and in some cases, name names) on most of these lists, and highlight the five drugs currently FDA-approved for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (which is now largely a disease of older people).

Matt Uhlman is second generation Urologist practicing in his hometown of Yakima, Washington. His training took him to UW, Duke, Iowa and now back home. He loves spending time with his best half, Missa, and their three boys, traveling, food blogging, spending time with friends and exploring the Northwest.   My goal for this presentation is for the audience to gain a better understanding of ways to effectively treat and combat the issues that will face your geriatric patients.
