Abstract
The signs and symptoms of urological emergencies are generic, and are not specific to a certain disease entity, so that patients who have entirely different problems will present with similar symptoms. These signs and symptoms can be subsumed in four categories:
-
1.
Urinary obstruction and renal failure
-
2.
Urinary bleeding
-
3.
Urinary tract infection
-
4.
Neurologic emergencies of urologic malignancies
