(1)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(1. Bacterial Urocystitis)
1. more common in dogs or cats?

(2)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(1. Bacterial Urocystitis)
(Etiology)
- bacteria commonly found in feces and skin…
what ones (7 of them)?
- and more specific urinary pathogens
what in pigs?
in cows?
- E. Coli, Staph, proteus, strep, enterobacter, pseudomoans, kleibsiella

(3)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(1. Bacterial Urocystitis)
(Path)
- urinary bladder usually resistant
- urine (unlike human) resistant to bacteria growth due to what?
- The distal urethra has a normal resident population of bacteria which may gain access to upper (proximal) areas of the urinary tract.
- low/high pH, high osmolarity
(4)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(1. Bacterial Urocystitis)
(Path)
(Factors predisposing to infection)
1-8. what eight?
(Fuck U, HOPI Artifical Intelligence)
- females (shorter urethra)
- urolithiasis (urinary stones)
- hyperestrogenism (reduce barrier to bac invasion)
- outflow obstruction (stones, tumors, trauma)
- pre-existing prostatitis in males
- incomplete voiding of urine (diverticula, reflux, bladder hypotonia)
- abnormal urine (glucose, protiein)
- iatrogenic (catheters)
(4)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(1. Bacterial Urocystitis)
(Clinical Signs)
- cats and dogs often presented for what?
- Urinalysis may reveal what?
- increased freq of urination without increase in volume (pollakiuria)
or going in unusual places
- pyuria, hematuria, bactiuria, and proteinuria (due to exudation).
(6)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(1. Bacterial Urocystitis)
(Morph)
(Gross)
- in acute - bladder mucosa often hyperemic and edematous, making wall what?
mucosal surface may be eroded/hemorrhagic
- in diabetes mellitus, emphysema may occur in wall du to what?
- as becomes chronic, erosions develop into what?
bladder wall thickens due to what?
- if there is obstruction to urine outflow, what may occur?
- thickened and turgid
- bac fermentation of glucose
- ulcers
hyperplasia of urothelium, accuulationg of chronic inflammatory cels, and fibrosis
- hypertrophy of smooth muslce or acquired diverticula
(6)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(1. Bacterial Urocystitis)
(Morph)
(Histo)
- what often seen in acute stages?
(as becomes more chronic….)
- shift from neurophils to what?
- granulation and scar tissue may develop
- hyperplasia of urothelim may occur leading to formatio nof what?
- erosion of urothelim, neutrophil exudation and edema in lamina propria, microvascular dilation and congestion
- lymphocytes and plasma cells
(lymphcytes may form large follicles -> follicular cystitis)
- Brunn’s nests and cytitis cystica
(Sometimes polypoid structures formed by proliferating urothelium and edematous mucosa occur in chronic cystitis (polypoid cystitis).)
(8)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(2. Pyelonephritis)
1. inflammation of what?
2. most often due to what?
- renal pelvis (pyelo-), renal tubules, and interstitium
- bacterial infection
(10)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(2. Pyelonephritis)
(etiology)
- see what?
- urocystitis
(10)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(2. Pyelonephritis)
(Path - 2 major routes of infection)
- the most common route?
- begins with infection of what?
- bacteria then gain entrance to ureters via what?
- VUR may occur due to what four things?
- ascending infection
- lower urinary tract (urocystitis)
- vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
- inflammation of bladder trigone area
tumor in trigone
lower urinary obstruction
congenital defects
(Normal young, growing animals often have some VUR.)
(11)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(2. Pyelonephritis)
(Path - 2 major routes of infection)
- What is the uncommon route?
- why is it that bacteremia usually won’t lead to infection?
- However, if kidney is already injured (such as partial urethral obstruction), then bacteria can infect
- hematogenous
- normal kidney resistant to bacterial colonization
(12)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(2. Pyelonephritis)
(morphology)
(Acute Pyelonephritis)
- renal pelvis dilated and filled with what?
- The renal crest or papillae may be diffusely or segmentally reddened or pale.
- often necrosis of what?
(microscopically)
- renal pelvis contains what?
- surrounding interstitium contains what?
- pus
- renal papillae/crest
- exudate of neutrophils, necrotic debris, and bacteria
(Similar exudate is found in renal tubules which are often dilated and show necrosis and sloughing of epithelial cells.)
- exudate and edema
(12)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(2. Pyelonephritis)
(morphology)
(Chronic Pyelonephritis)
- enal pelvis is dilated and typically the renal crest/papillae are deformed… pus still a feature?
- The kidney is often asymmetric due to what?
(microscopically)
- pus in tubules?
- interstitium contains what?
- what in wedge shaped areas?
- Glomeruli may show sclerosis.
- no
- wedge-shaped scars (similar to infarcts) extending from medulla to cortex
- little
- plasma cells and lymphocytes
- fibrosis and loss of tubules
(14)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(3. (Tubulo-)interstitial nephritis)
1. inflammation of what?
2. Can result from what?
- renal tubules and interstitium
(inflammation mounted against veins, arteries, lymphatic vessels, or connective tissue)
- bacterial/viral septicemias in which kindey tubules first infected and damged –> incites interstitial inflammatory response
(15)
(E. SYNDROME: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI))
(3. (Tubulo-)interstitial nephritis)
1. acute commonly invovles what?
2. results from what?
3. Calves: _E. Col_i = ?
4. cattle and pigs?
5. horses?
6. cats?

- neutrophils
- toxicoses or acute infection (Leptospira, canine adenovirus, canine herpesvirus)
- white spotted kidney disease
- leptospira, salmonella, brucella
- Rhodococcus equi, Actinobacillus equuli
- FIP
- progression of acute or when interstitium is primary target (equine arteritis virus and PRRS)
