45 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Normal urine is

Clear and straw-colored

Urine pH range

4.5-8.0 (average: 6.0)

this urine May indicate protein, cells, bacteria, pus

Cloudy

this urine has signs of hematuria, bilirubin, high concentration

dark

this type of urine shows signs of infection

Odor

Is an upper tract UTI

Pyelonephritis

these are lower tract UTI's

Cystitis (bladder) and Urethritis

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.

Polycystic Kidney (PKD)

An autosomal recessive form of PKD also exists and appears in ___________

infancy or childhood
