AB There  are  a  number  of  urologic  conditions  that  pediatric  hospitalists  will  encounter  in  their  care  of  pediatric  inpatients.  Primary  urologic  emergencies  such  as  testicular  torsion  and  urinary  obstruction  require  prompt  diagnosis  and  intervention  to  limit  morbidity.  In  addition,  several  medical  entities,  such  as  recurrent  urinary  tract  infection  (UTI)  and  vesicoureteral  reflux  (VUR),  may  benefit  from  urologic  consultation.  Surgical  intervention  may  be  considered  or  required  in  some  cases  such  as  testicular  torsion,  high  grade  vesicoureteral  reflux,  or  high  grade  ureteropelvic  junction  obstruction.
