502 Flashcards
normal characteristics of urine
pH 5-9
specific gravity 1.001 - 1.035
protein < 20 mg/dL
urobilinogen up to 1 mg/dL
newborn renal fxn
produces dilute urine
2 mL/kg/hr
unable to reabsorb
glomerular filtration matures around 1-2 yrs
children renal fxn
shorter urethras
prone to UIT
complete bladder control at 4-5 yrs
ability to regain full renal fxn after ARF
aging renal fxn
(+)muscle thickness/(-)capacity/(+)frequency
(-)contractility and tone/(+)retention
(-)sphincter control (x2 for women)
(-)urethral length (affected by w/d of estrogen)
(+)prostate enlargement/(+)retention
hypospadias
opening on dorsal side (top)
more common
surgical correction 6-12 mos
should not be circumcised
epispadias
opening on ventral side (bottom)
VUR
vesicoureteral reflux
bladder extrophy
extrusion of bladder through defect in lower abdominal wall
may be associated with genital anomalies or anus defects
risk for kidney damage due to VUR s/p corrective surgery
MSRE
modern staged repair of extrophy
- bladder closure
- epispadias repair
- BNR (bladder neck reconstruction at 5 yrs
CPRE
complete primary repair of extrophy
bladder closure, epispadias repair, and BNR done simultaneously
primary VUR vs secondary VUR
congenital abnormality vs. acquired condition (UTI or obstruction)
graded I - V by how distended ureter is/how deep into nephrons
VUR management (stage I-II)
80% probability of spontaneous resolution
VUR management (less severe)
inject bulking agent (Deflux)
VUR management (stage IV-V)
surgical correction
ureter reimplantation
renal US to R/O obstruction
UTI
-bacteria ascending through urethra: E. coli (most common) streptococci S. saprophyticus occasionally fungal or parasitic -obstruction or void dysfunction -reflux -should be R/O in any presenting child with malaise or changed urinary habits
UTI (upper) involves:
renal parenchyma, pelvis, and ureters
>pyelonephritis
VUR
glomerulonephritis
UTI (lower) involves:
urinary tract
absent clinical manifestations
cystitis
urethritis
febrile UTI indicates:
pyelonephritis
kidney scarring from childhood UTIs cause concern regarding:
renal HTN and impaired fxn in adulthood
glomerulonephritis manifestations:
hematuria, proteinuria acute edema of eyelids/ankles (worse in AM) pulmonary edema proteinuria HTN renal insufficiency fever fatigue
nephrotic syndrome (kinds)
primary (MCNS): minimal change
secondary: systemic disease (SLE, poisoning)
congenital
process of nephrotic syndrome:
glomerular membrane becomes permeable to albumin > hyperalbuminuria > hypoalbuminemia > fluid shift from plasma to interstitial spaces > hypovolemia/ascites
nephrotic syndrome s/s:
proteinuria (frothy) hypoalbuminemia/hyperalbuminuria dependent edema (worsens through day) hypovolemia/normotensive pallor/fatigue \++cholesterol/triglycerides
management of nephrotic syndrome:
reduce relapse:
high-dose prednisone, cytoxan, cyclosporine
manage fluid balance:
diuretics, albumin infusion
infection prevention:
PCN prophylaxis, pneumococcal vax, no live virus
enuresis
inability to control voiding:
most master by 5 yrs
females often before males
controlled by CNS; can be r/t delayed maturation
enuresis medications:
antidiuretics
anticholinergics
antidepressants/temporal therapy
osgood-schlatter disease:
most frequent cause of knee pain in kids
usu ages 9-16
overuse associated w/running, twisting, jumping
irritation of patellar ligament at its attachment to the tibial tuberosity
RICE interventions:
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
traction
pull/force exerted on one part of body in presence of counterforce
focus of traction on:
spine
pelvis
long bones of UE/LE
