Differential Diagnosis

  • Single most likely diagnosis
    • Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): The patient's symptoms of urinary frequency, gross hematuria, malaise, and mild dysuria, along with the presence of nitrite and yeast in the urine analysis, suggest a UTI. The resolution of symptoms after starting antibiotics further supports this diagnosis.
  • Other Likely diagnoses
    • Kidney Stone (Nephrolithiasis): The patient's history of renal colic and nephrolithiasis, along with the recent episode of gross hematuria, suggests that a kidney stone may have passed, causing the symptoms.
    • Prostatitis: The patient's enlarged prostate gland (5.0x3.8 cm) and symptoms of urinary frequency and mild dysuria could be indicative of prostatitis.
  • Do Not Miss (ddxs that may not be likely, but would be deadly if missed.)
    • Sepsis: Although the patient's symptoms have resolved, the presence of nitrite and yeast in the urine analysis could indicate a more severe infection, and sepsis should be considered, especially if the patient's condition worsens.
    • Bladder Cancer: The patient's gross hematuria and scheduled cystoscopy suggest that bladder cancer should be considered, although it is less likely in a 28-year-old male.
  • Rare diagnoses
    • Tuberculosis (TB) of the Urinary Tract: Although rare, TB of the urinary tract could present with similar symptoms, including hematuria and frequency.
    • Interstitial Cystitis: This condition could cause similar symptoms, including frequency and dysuria, although it is less likely in a male patient.
