Common causative agent for UTI |
E. Coli |
|
Most UTI infections are from microbes ________ up from perineal areas |
ascending |
|
_____ are more vulnerable than men of UTI |
Woman |
|
Woman are more vulnerable because of |
shortness of urethra, proximity to anus and irritation |
|
Cystitis can be |
mild and asymptomatic at times |
|
Cystitis causes pain in |
lower abdomen |
|
Cystitis can cause different types of urination |
Dysuria, Frequent urination (sense of urgency), Nocturia |
|
Systemic signs of Cystitis |
Fever, Malaise, Leukocytosis, Nausea |
|
Cystitis can make the urine |
Cloudy with unpleasant odor |
|
Cystitis urinalysis reveals |
bacteriuria, pyuria, hematuria |
|
Infection from ureter to renal pelvis and medullary tissue (tubules) |
Pyelonephritis |
|
Purulent exudate fills pelvis and calyces, medulla is inflamed |
Pyelonephritis |
|
Urinalysis of Pyelonephritis reveals |
"urinary casts" |
|
Many forms are manifest; APSGN (acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis) is a represenative form |
Glomerulonephritis |
|
Usually begin as upper respiratory infections, middle ear, or "strep throat" |
Glomerulonephritis |
|
Glomerulonephritis urine is |
Dark/cloudy (coffee-colored) due to proteinuria, hematuria |
|
Calculi can develop anywhere in urinary tract and may be small to large as in staghorn calculi |
Urolithiasis |
|
Any solid material or debris from a _______ (nest or natural reservoir) upon which deposits build and enlarge; Urolithiasis |
nidus |
|
May also be from excessive insoluble salts in the filtrate or inadequate fluid intake (creates concentrated urine) |
Urolithiasis |
|
Treatment of Urolithiasis |
Lithotripsy |
|
75% of calculi are _______, the rest mainly uric acid |
calcium salts |
|
Sudden failure occurs for many reasons, usually reversible if primary problem is treated |
Acute Renal Failure |
|
_____ Kidneys are involved in Acute renal failure |
Both |
|
____ is used to replace kidney function during this period (usually reversible); Acute renal failure |
Dialysis |
|
Acute renal failure usually develops rapidly due to reduced blood flow or inflammation and necrosis leading to ____________ |
Tubule Obstruction |
|
Early stages of Acute renal failure are indicated by |
Reduced or very low GFR Increased serum urea Elevated BUN and metabolic wastes |
|
_____ may result in Acute renal failure if underlying problem is not resolved |
Uremia |
|
Signs and symptoms of Acute Renal Failure |
Develops rapidly Oliguria Increased serum urea Elevated BUN Metabolic acidosis Hyperkalemia |
|
Gradual irreversible destruction of tubules |
Chronic renal failure |
|
Chronic renal failure results from |
Chronic kidney disease Hypertension Diabetes Long term exposure to toxins |
|
Kidneys have __________ so Chronic renal failure is often asymptomatic until well advanced |
reserve capacity |
|
At this point progression can be slowed but not stopped due to scar tissue formation |
Chronic renal failure |
|
Decreased renal reserve |
60% of nephrons loss |
|
Renal insufficiency |
75% nephrons loss |
|
End-stage renal failure |
90% loss of nephrons and uremia |
|
Late signs of chronic renal failure include (end-stage failure) |
-Oliguria, dry itchy skin (pruritis) -Peripheral neuropathy, memory loss -Failure of kidney to activate Vit. D -Congestive heart failure, Arrhythmias -"Uremic Frost" on skin (powdery deposits of urea and uric acid salts on the skin and face) -Osteoporosis, systemic infections |
|
Passed down through families (inherited), usually as an autosomal dominant trait. Much more common in adults. |
