Discussobstructive disorders in terms of their effect on the renal physiology(including prostate hyperplasia), be able to discuss its effect to the renalsystem- what does it do to the renal system? |
The effect that prostratehyperplasia has on the renal system, is that prostrate hyperplasia affects thepart of the prostrate surrounding the top of the urethra and this put pressureon the urethra, and this pressure can weaken the bladder leading to urinaryretention, renal failure or recurrent UTI |

Discuss Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) risk factors:causes: symptoms: prevention: complication: treatment: |
risk factors: -women (shorter urethra compare to men-which make them more prone to UTI) -advanced age- though young people still get it, the older you get, the more risky you are at developing UTI -Diabetes Mellitus - pregnant women causes: UTI is caused by E.Coli (a bacteria) affecting urethra and bladder symptoms: -A burning feeling when urinating, Frequent urge to urinate, Pain on lower abdomen, Cloudy smelly urine prevention: Eating a well-balanced diet, Wipe from front to back-proper wiping, changing underwear complication:Recurrent infection, Permanent kidney damage treatment: Antibiotics |
|
|
Discuss glomerular disorders risk factors: causes: symptoms: prevention: complication: treatment: |
risk factors: Diabetes Infections History of cancer causes: Infection Drug toxic to kidney Ischemia symptoms: Hematuria Proteinuria Hypertension Edema (fluid retention) with swelling evident in hands, faceand feet prevention: Maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise Control blood pressure complication: Chronic kidney disease End-stage renal failure treatment: Medication such as Diuretics to reduce fluid retention and bloodpressure medication to control high blood pressure |
|
|
Discuss acute kidney disease (isthe disease where the kidneys lose the ability to filter waster from the blood AKI)- good learning objective for a case study! Be able to discusspre, Intra and post renal failure and RIFLE risk factors:causes: symptoms: prevention: complication: |
risk factors: Being hospitalized Advanced age Blockage in the blood vessels in arms or legs Diabetes High blood pressure Heart failure Kidney diseases causes: - Pre-renal can be due to hypovalemia- a decreased flow of blood to kidney and haemorrhagic blood loss - Intra-renal directdamage to the kidneys Infection, drug-hypersensitivity to drug glomerulonephritis, autoimmune diseases
-Post-renalkidneystonesand prostate hyperplasia symptoms: Decrease glomerular filtration rate Decrease urine output Increase nitrogenous waste in blood such as urea andcreatinine prevention: Allhospitalised patients both on admission and during their admission stay shouldbe assessed regularly for risk of developing AKI complication: High levels of potassium in the blood Muscle weakness paralysis and heart rhythm problems Metabolic acidosis Risk- increased creatinine x1 Injury- increased creatinine x2 Failure- increased creatinine x3 Loss- complete loss of kidney function End-time kidney failure- complete loss of kidney function |
|
|
Discuss chronic kidney disease (the progressive loss of renal function)-good learning objective for a case study! Be able todiscuss CKD on other body systems causes: symptoms: prevention: complication: treatment: |
risk factors: Diabetes High blood pressure Cardiovascular disease Acute Kidney Disease causes: Hypertension Diabetes mellitus Kidney disease Lupus symptoms: Azotemia and Uremia Hypertension Anorexia Nausea Vomiting Constipation Malnutrion and weight loss prevention: Stayat a healthy weight and maintaining normal BP which help prevent other diseasessuch as diabetes complication: angina Worsening heartfailure Left ventricular hypertrophy treatment: a low protein diet to reduce end products of protein metabolism that the kidneys cannot excrete medications such as loop diuretics (frusemide) to to maintain fluid balance and antihypertensive to control blood pressure Be able to discuss CKD effect on other body systems skeletal: reproductive: sexual dysfunction cardiovascular: hypertension endocrine: restricted growth in children GI: anorexia, vomiting renal: hypotension, dcreased or dilute urine |
