Patient report
This terms comes in a report on a patient suffering from COPD and some other illnesses. The context for the acronym is the following line:
AP GU -> PRUB (-) y PPRB(-)
I know that the PPRB (-) is no(negative) Costovertebral angle tenderness and I assume that the AP is auscultacion pulmonar, but what does the PRUB mean?
Thanks!!!

Puntos dolorosos renoureterales
Los puntos que a continuación señalamos, tienen por objeto despertar por medio de la palpación el dolor a distintos niveles del trayecto de los nervios a que suele referirse el dolor renal, que en definitiva proceden de las últimas raíces dorsales y primera lumbar. Su inconstancia en las nefropatías y su presencia ocasional en otras afecciones, hacen que conserven solo un valor relativo y que unos pocos mantengan cierta vigencia.
Los puntos dolorosos propiamente dichos son:
Posteriores (fig. 18.5):
Costovertebral.
Costomuscular.
Anteriores (fig. 18.6):
Subcostal.
Ureteral superior o pelviureteral.
Ureteral medio.
Ureteral inferior o yuxtavesical.

Urinary calculi
Flank pain is the classic presenting symptom of urinary calculi and is the predominant cause of flank pain that occurs in the absence of fever. The term "renal colic" is actually a misnomer because this pain tends to remain constant. Acute onset of severe flank pain that radiates to the groin, gross or microscopic hematuria, nausea, and vomiting not associated with an acute abdomen are symptoms that most likely indicate renal colic caused by an acute ureteral or renal pelvic obstruction from a calculus.
Renal colic pain rarely, if ever, occurs without obstruction. The pain may be isolated to the flank or may radiate to the anterior abdomen, groin, or testicle in the male or labia majora in the female. Stones lodged at the ureterovesical junction may also cause irritative voiding symptoms, such as urinary frequency and dysuria. Nausea and vomiting occur in at least 50% of patients with acute renal colic.
For more information, see the Medscape Reference topic Nephrolithiasis.

Neil Ashby
: But "PPRB" refers to the costovertebral angle, so this would be repetitive.

Diagnosis of Stones
Physical Examination
When a patient is evaluated for a suspected urinary calculus, a thorough and complete physical examination is essential. Most patients with stone disease present to the Emergency Room or physician's office with severe renal colic and will be obvious distress. A patient with ureteral colic tosses about and is unable to find comfort in a single position. This patient usually exhibits diaphoresis, tachycardia and tachypnea. Hypertension may be seen and is usually resulting from discomfort. The stone patient is usually not febrile unless infection is associated with obstruction.
The patient's abdomen should be carefully examined, especially the flank area, where an early obstructed, hydronephrotic kidney may be palpable. Tenderness on palpation of the kidney or in the costovertebral angle is frequently present. It is not unusual for the bowel sounds to be hypoactive and an ileus to be present clinically and radiographically. The bladder should be palpated, as urinary retention not infrequently occurs with acute ureteral colic, especially when the stone is positioned in the intramural ureter.

COSNAUTAS
Are you familiar with Cosnautas? It's an extremely helpful -- indispensable -- compilation of approximately 30,000 Spanish medical acronyms, often showing multiple possibilities for each acronym.
It doesn't have PRUB (yet) but you would find PPRB: puñopercusión renal bilateral || ≡ PPLB (puñopercusión lumbar bilateral).
Cosnautas is free to use, just requires a quick registration.

Oops ... I see I just suggested Cosnautas to you in your last question, but it can't hurt to repeat it; somebody might come along in the future and see this reference and be helped by it.
