25
what kinds of people are at risk for Pyelonephritis?
young women and old men
26
UTI treatment
antibiotics/Force fluids
27
major s/s for neonates, infants & older children with UTI
fever
28
major s/s for older people with UTI
confusion
29
If UTIs are left untreated they can lead to
Septic shock, ARDS, DIC
30
lethargy, jaundice, fever, vomiting & seizures are UTI symptoms of a neonate, infant, older child or older adult?
neonate
31
fever, diahrrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain & poor wt gain are UTI symptoms of a neonate, infant, older child or older adult?
infant
32
dysuria, hematuria, urgency, frequency, flank pain, fever, foul smelling urine or onset of wetting are UTI symptoms of a neonate, infant, older child or older adult?
older child
33
Acute Glomerulonephritis
inflammation & infection of the tiny filters in your kidneys.
34
When is acute glomerulonephritis commonly seen after what infection and with who?
commonly seen in children 5-21 days after a Beta hemolytic strep infection
35
Beta hemolytic strep infection can cause?
acute glomerulonephritis
36
s/s of acute glomerulonephritis
hematuria, proteinuria, azotemia/uremia, Na & water retention=edema & HTN, decreased GFR and increased permeability
37
Nephrotic syndrome what is it and what does it cause
glomeruluslets leak out protein which causes thromboemboli & hypoalbuminemia which then causes edema, hyperlipidemia & the risk of clotting
38
what does the loss of plasma proteins in nephrotic syndrome stimulate the liver to do?
the loss of plasma proteins stimulates the liver to increase albumin & lipoprotein synthesis causing triglycerides & LDL levels to increase
39
Does Nephrotic syndrome resolve in kids?
yes, completely
40
Urolithiasis
the process of forming kidney stones
41
increased risk of developing a kidney stone
immobility, hypercalcemia, UTIs, urine stasis, fractures, dehydration with increased urine concentration, excessive intake of calcium, oxalate, or proteins
42
what is the greatest risk factor for urolithiasis?
personal or family history
43
s/s of a kidney stone
severe pain, renal colic, n/v, fever, chills, hematuria, rarely oliguria or anuria, urine retention
44
Kidney stone treatment
force fluids, mobilize, relieve pain, diet, allow to pass or get it removed
45
can a staghorn kidney stone pass on own?
no
46
Calcium (oxalate & phosphate) kidney stone causes
immobility, bone disease, increased calcium in diet & hyperparathyroidism
47
Calcium (oxalate & phosphate) kidney stone treatment
increased fluids, thiazide diuretics, low calcium diet
48
Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate kidney stone causes
UTIs
49
Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate kidney stone treatment
increase fluids, acidification of urine
50
Uric Acid-gout kidney stone causes
increased purine diet
51
Uric Acid-gout kidney stone treatment
increase fluids, allopurinol, alkalinization of urine, low fat, low protein diet
52
Cystine-cystinuria kidney stone causes
breakdown of protein by acid
53
Cystine-cystinuria kidney stone treatment
increase fluids, alkalinization of urine, low protein
54
if a person has a Calcium (oxalate & phosphate) kidney stone which foods should they stay away from?
oxalate rich food such as: | spinach, rhubarb, strawberries, beets, nuts, chocolate & black tea
55
Alkaline foods
most fruits/veggies, figs, mineral water, orange juice, potatoes, spinach, watermelon, dendelion greens
56
Acidic foods
corn, meat, fish, fowl, most grains, coffee, plums, prunes, cranberries, distilled water
57
Lithotripsy
using sound or shock waves to crush a stone, its the preferred treatment for urinary calculi
58
Percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy
a nephroscope is inserted into the renal pelvis & ultrasound waves are used to fragment the stone & then be removed
59
3 s/s of kidney cancer when palpating/hitting kidneys
hematuria, flank pain, palpable abdominal mass
60
cancer of the kidneys is more common in what age group
50-70
61
Treatment for kidney cancer
renal nephrectomy (kidney removal), there is no treatment for advanced renal carcinoma
62
Post op care after a renal nephrectomy
remaining kidney must be protected, pain will be significant, may have respiratory complications due to painful incision (patient wont want to TCDB), patient might grieve loss of organ
63
Intravesical therapy
meds that are placed into bladder to destroy cancer cells
64
can some bladder tumors come back?
yes, some are hard to remove;high grade
