26. Urinary Tract Infections Flashcards
above the vesicleurerteral vvalves
upper tract
below the vesicoureteral valves
lower tract
involvement of tissue structures with instruments or comorbidities, usually male
complicated
pus in the kidney causing inflammed kidney, calyces, pelvis
pylenonephritis
bladder inflammation
cystitis
3 or more UTI/yearas
recurrence
recurrence in a month with the same organism
relapse
relapse but <1 month usually a different orgnanism
reinfection
in this group, males predominate with urogenital malformations more common
neonates
at this time, females predominate for UTI frequency at 80%
childbearing years
prior history, uncircumcised, sexual intercourse especially with frequency, inherited factors like IgA deficiency, structural abnormalities associated with reflux like vesico-ureteral reflux and duplicated collection system, obstruction like prostate enlargement and ureteral stones, foreign body especially foley chronic indwelling catheter
risk factors for UTI
10^5 CFU/mL sungle species in clean catch urine, e coli 80%, staph saprophyticus 15% particularly in sexually active females, other gram -
symptomatic UTI definition
> 10^5 CFU/mL single species in clean catch urine, treat in pregnany, renal transplant, and before urogenital surgery, common in nursing home residents, don’t treat, do not treat or check with foley in place, UTI with/from foley can lead to sepsis, therefore is symptomatic*** UTI
asymptomatic UTI definition
gram positive cocci catalase positive coagulase negative novobiocin resistant
staphylococcus saprophyticus
gram negative rod lactose fermenting fast
escherichia coli
random, first void, clean catch, catheter, will show pH specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, leukocyte esterase, results will show WBC, RBC, epithelial cells, bacteria, casts, crystals, squamous epithelial cells (epis) represent a urethral or labial wash but doesn’t tell you anything about the bladder thus is unimportant
urinalysis types
gram positive cocci catalase negative alpha hemolytic optochin sensitive bile soluble
streptococcus pneumoniae
gram positive cocci, catalase negative, alpha hemolytic, optochin and bile solubility negative,
streptococcus mutans and mitits
