Norris (UTI, stones, GN, AKI) Flashcards
complicated UTI factors (4)
- upper UT (pyelonephritis)
- structural/functional abnormality
- significant infx
- young and/or pregnancy
- male
Recurrent UTI status
> 2 UTIs in 6M
>3 UTIs in 1 Y
Chief UTI bugs
- E. coli
- Staph saprophyticus
- Klebsiella, Proteus
Female: male ratio for UTI
30:1
most common nosocomial dz due to
foli catheters
Women UTI risk factors (3)
- short urethra
- sexual activity
- diabetes (2-3X more likely)
Men UTI risk factors (2)
- uncircumcised
2. enlarged prostate (prostate secretes protective zinc–unless enlarged)
Nitrite on dip stick
ENTEROBACTERIACAE convert nitrate –> nitrite –
Dx of cystitis UTI (5)
Dipstick: 1. Nitrite 2. Leukocyte esterase UA microscope 3. RBCs, WBCs, 4. some casts Urine culture 5. Gold standard
Dx of pyelonephritis
Blood culture 1. oder if pt febrile or possibly septic CBC 2. Leukocytosis w/ left shift 3. Neutrophilia and bands suggest pyelo UA 4. * ^ protein & WBC casts Imaging 5. look for structural abs 6. KUB, US, CT (CT is ^ choice)
1st line Tx of UNCOMPLICATED and RECURRENT cystitis
Bactrim–TMP–SMX–Sulfa
1st line Tx of COMPLICATED cystits
Cipro/ Levaquin–Fluoroquinolone
1st line Tx of OUTPATIENT/ INPATIENT
Cipro/Levaquin
Pyelonephritis associated w/ production of gas in renal and perinephric tissues–usually only in DM
Emphysematous pyelonephritis
UTI when chronic urinary obstruction, together w/ chronic infx, leads to suppurative destruction of renal tissue
xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis
Indications for hospitalization for UTI ABSOLUTE
- persistent vomiting
- progression of uncomplicated UTI
- possible sepsis
- uncertain dx
- UT obstruction
R/O (2) for cystitis
- vaginitis
2. STI’s
Pyridium for analgesia will…
turn urine orange
pain w/ bladder distention w/ out infection–dx of exclusion
interstitial cystits
tx interstitial cystits w/
- hydrodistension
- amitriptyline
- CCB
nephro/ ureterlithiasis types (4)
- calcium oxalate (80%)
- other calcium salts (15%)
- uric acid (5%)
- struvite (5%)
nephrolithiasis Sx
usually asymptomatic–possible hematuria
ureterlithiasis Sx
severe paroxysmal pain, F/C, Hematuria, frequency
Tx for nephro/ureterlithiasis (6)
- Flomax (alpha-adrenergic) – relaxes smooth muscle
- Analgesia
- antiemetics
- ABX for infection
- hydration
- strain urine
Cut-off for spontaneous passage of stone
5-7 mm 60%
many stones get “stuck” at
UVJ ureterovesical junction
surgery for nephro/ureterlithiasis
- lithotripsy (US)
- ureteroscopy
laser
basket retrieval
Relative admission for stones (5)
- persistent V
- associated UTI
- unremitting pain
- stone >6mm
- impaired renal function
Ca+ stone etiologies (4)
- hypercalciuria
- hyperoxaluria–* check oxalate in KIDS w/ stones
- hypocitruria
- hyperuricosuria–forms core
*uric acid stone risk factors (2)
- low urine pH (<5.5)
2. Gout
Struvite (staghorn) stone risk factors (2) Tx
- Recurrent UTIs
- urine pH >7.5
Tx: lithotripsy or surg and ABX
antibody-antigen associated glomerular injury steps (3)
- antigen-antigen deposition
- compliment activation
- recruitment of leukocytes
