How do we diagnose and treat VUR?

A

diagnose with a VCUG- voiding cystourethrogram

Q

What causes enuresis?

A

Primary:
Familial tendency

decreased bladder capacity (age in years + 2 = oz)
developmental or maturational lag

sleep disorder, nocturnal polyuria theory (kidneys fail to concentrate urine during sleep due to insufficient ADH).

Secondary:
 Psychological factors
 abuse 
UTI 
Diabetes

Q

How do we prevent enuresis?

A

Child is not lazy, nor does he wet the bed intentionally.
Do not punish child
Recommend books Dry ALL Night, Waking Up Dry
Provide Support & Encouragement

Limit intake of bladder irritants --chocolate and caffeine.
 Limit fluid intake after dinner 
 make sure he voids before going to bed
 Use bed pads and 2 sets of sheets
Use pull ups only on sleep over's. WHY?
Teach use of alarms
17
Q

How do we treat enuresis?

A

Wait for maturation -most children outgrow by age 10
Behavior modification – positive reinforcement is key

Retention/control exercises
Drug therapy: oxybutynin (Ditropan), Imipramine (neurologic side effects) or DDAVP (nasal spray or tablet)
Moisture alarm

18
Q

What is HUS?

A

Hemolytic uremic syndrome -
Combination of hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia that occurs with acute renal failure.

Microthrombi in the glomerular arterioles lead to occlusion of the glomerular capillary loops and glomerulosclerosis, resulting in renal failure.

RBCs & Platelets are damaged as they move through partially occluded blood vessels.

19
Q

What causes HUS?

A 
Bacterial toxins, chemicals, & viruses
Diarrhea 
Idiopathic
Inherited
Drug related
Malignancies
Most cases caused by verotoxin-producing strain of E. coli.

May also be Streptococcus pneumoniae or Shigella dysenteriae

Undercooked ground beef accounts for most cases. Also consuming animal feces, unpasteurized dairy and fruit products, fresh vegetables.

20
Q

What is the treatment for HUS?

A

Maintain fluid balance
Correct hypertension, acidosis, and electrolyte abnormalities
Replenish circulating red blood cells
Provide dialysis if needed.

21
Q

What do the labs look like with HUS?

A 
Urinalysis: positive for blood, protein, pus, and casts.
Serum:
Elevated BUN & creatinine 
moderate to severe anemia 
mild to severe thrombocytopenia
leukocytosis with left shift
hyponatremia 
hyperkalemia
hyperphosphatemia
22
Q

What are the s/s of HUS?

A

Vomiting
Fatigue

Edema, pale
Oliguria or anuria

Elevated blood pressure

Neurologic changes; irritability, altered LOC, seizures, posturing, or coma

Abdominal pain and tenderness

23
Q

What are the nursing interventions for HUS?

A

Contact precautions
Monitor for bleeding

Close attention to fluid volume status
Encourage adequate nutrition within dietary restrictions

Family Support
Teach preventative strategies

24
Q

What is ASGN?

A

acute streptococcal glomerulonephritis - A condition in which immune processes injure the glomeruli. The disease can range from minimal to severe.

Most common type = acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSG).

immune response related to untreated case of strep

25
Q

What is the nursing care for ASGN?

A

Antibiotics if evidence of current Strep infection (fever)

Diet - No added salt, low protein (if BUN is elevated)
Control hypertension

bed rest during acute phase (which last 1-2 weeks)
Isolation from other kids that have infection because these kids are vulnerable to infection while they have APSG
Children show us they are getting better by having an increase in UOP.

26
Q

What is the nursing care for nephritic syndrome?

A

watch BP
good I&O
daily WT
diet with no added salt

Reducing protein excretion
Reducing tissue fluid retention

Preventing infections and other complications such as anemia, infection, poor growth, peritonitis, thrombosis, and renal failure

Activity -bed rest during edema - unrestricted during remission
Diet – No Added Salt, high protein during edema - regular during remission
Drugs - Corticosteroids, immunosuppressant therapy, loop diuretics, salt poor, albumin

27
Q

What are the s/s of nephrosis?

A

Decreased urine output
Massive proteinuria Mild hematuria

Hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia
Sudden, rapid weight gain, Edema - generalized
B/P normal or slightly decreased
Pleural Effusion

Diarrhea
Anorexia
Pallor
Muehrcke lines
Frequent infections
Fatigue
28
Q

What is nephrotic syndrome?

A

Clinical syndrome that includes massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia,
hyperlipidemia, and edema.

29
Q

What causes acute renal failure?

A

Vancomycin - stop it and flush it out of the system
Pre-renal: Poor renal perfusion from dehydration, surgical shock, burns.

Intrinsic: diseases, nephrotoxic drugs

Post-renal: obstruction (tumor, obstructive uropathy)

30
Q

What is the treatment for acute renal failure?

A 
Prevention
Treat underlying cause
Manage fluid & electrolyte disturbances
Decrease blood pressure
Provide supportive therapy
Drugs: Mannitol, albumin, furosemide
31
Q

How do we treat chronic renal failure in kids?

A

peritoneal dialysis at night because it is easier on their systems

32
Q

What chronic is an important problem to address with chronic kidney failure in kids?

A

osteodystrophy because it interferes with their bone development

33
Q

How can we prevent osteodystrophy?

A

Calcium carbonate

Aluminum hydroxide gel
