Q

Primary glomerular diseases pathologies involve immune function in what 2 ways?

A
  • Deposition of antigen/antibody complexes into some portion of the glomerulus → inflammatory response → sclerotic damage.
  • Deposition of an antigen in the glomerulus → localized antigen/antibody reaction → inflammation and sclerotic damage (lupus nephritis).

Q

What is the treatment of kidney stones?

A
  • Watchful waiting (most stones <5mm pass)

- Shock wave lithotripsy (ultrasound) (5mm1cm)

20
Q

What is ureteroscopy?

A

Procedure in which a small scope is inserted into the bladder and ureter and is used to diagnose and treat a variety of problems in the urinary tract.

21
Q

Kidney Stone Treatment:

  • <5mm = ___________
  • 5mm-1cm = ____________
  • > 1cm = _____________
A
  • watchful waiting
  • shock wave lithotripsy (US)
  • Surgery (ureteroscopy)
22
Q

What is the most intensive treatment of Kidney Stones and how is it done?

A

Surgery- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

  • In pt procedure to remove large stones or a large number of small stones.
  • Involves small incision in the back.
  • Urologist works with an interventional radiologist to create a path to the drainage system of the kidney.
  • Once stones are located, they are broken up and pieces are removed.
  • Drain tube left in the kidney.
23
Q

What is MOFS?

A

Multiple Organ Failure Syndrome (MOFS)
-Progressive deterioration of organ function secondary to disease in distant organs. Must involve 2 or more organ systems.

24
Q

What are some causes of MOFS?

A
  • renal failure
  • shock
  • acute brain injury
  • acute respiratory failure
  • sepsis
  • burns
  • severe necrosis
  • major surgery
  • multiple blood transfusions
25
Q

MOFS is typically seen in the ____ and is linked to _______.

A
  • ICU

- sepsis

26
Q
  • Hypervolemia = too ____ fluid

- Hypovolemia = too _____ fluid

A
  • much (weight gain, edema)

- little (decreased CO, BP, hypernatremia)

27
Q

NEUROGENIC BLADDER DISORDER

A

NEUROGENIC BLADDER DISORDER

28
Q

What are the 3 main parts of the urinary bladder?

A
  • Detrusor muscles
  • Internal urethral sphincter
  • External urethral sphincter
29
Q

__________ muscles line the wall of the urinary bladder and are innervated by ____________ neurons. Input is normally inhibited and neural stimulation is required for _________.

A
  • Detrusor muscles
  • parasympathetic
  • micturation
30
Q

The internal urethral sphincter is ________ muscle and is innervated by _________ neurons.

A
  • smooth

- sympathetic

31
Q

The external urethral sphincter is _______ muscle and is _________ controlled.

A
  • skeletal

- voluntarily

32
Q

During collection/storage phase the detrusor muscle is _______, the internal and external sphincter muscles are _________.

A
  • relaxed

- contracted (sealing)

33
Q

In short, to pee:

  • Detrusor muscles = ___________ innervation to contract muscles
  • Internal urethral sphincter = __________ innervation to relax muscles
  • External urethral sphincter = ___________ control
A
  • parasympathetic
  • sympathetic
  • voluntary
34
Q

Micturation 4 basic steps?

A
  • Coordinated activity
  • Remove inhibition of detrusor muscle
  • Remove stimulation of internal sphincter muscle
  • Reduce tonic activity to the external sphincter
35
Q
  • Stretch of the bladder initiates the ________ reflex which involves removing inhibition of the parasympathetic neurons which cause detrusor muscles to contract rhythmically.
  • This initiates an __________ of the sympathetic nerves which deinnervate the internal urethral sphincter causing it to relax.
A
  • voiding

- inhibition

36
Q

What is Sensory Neurogenic Bladder?

A

Disruption of sensory information to the spinal cord or CNS.

37
Q

What is Motor Paralytic Bladder?

A

Destruction of the parasympathetic nerves to the bladder. Inability to initiate or maintain a urine stream.

38
Q

What is Reflex Neurogenic Bladder?

A

Complete disruption between the sacral spineal cord and the brainstem. Acute post spinal cord injury.

39
Q

What is Autonomous Neurogenic Bladder?

A

Neurologic isolation of the bladder from the spinal sacral cord. Complete loss of sensory and motor input to and from the sacral spinal cord.

40
Q

What is urinary incontinence and what are the 2 main causes of it?

A
  • Involuntary loss of urine that is sufficient to be a problem and occurs most often when bladder pressure exceeds sphincter resistance.
  • Age and pelvic floor weakness
41
Q

What are some other causes of urinary incontinence other than age and pelvic floor weakness.

  • obesity
  • XRT injury
42
Q

What are the 4 types of incontinence?

A
  • Functional
  • Stress
  • Urge
  • Overflow
43
Q

What is the difference between functional incontinence and stress incontinence?

A

Functional
-Normal urine control but who have trouble reaching a toilet in time b/c of muscle or joint dysfunction.
Stress
-Loss of urine during activities that increase intraabdominal pressure i.e. coughing, lifting, laughing, Valsalva.

44
Q

What is urge incontinence?

A

Sudden and unexpected urge to urinate and an inability to prevent the loss of urine.

45
Q

What is overflow incontinence?

A

Constant leaking of urine from a bladder that is full but unable to be emptied.
