Renal. UTI (08-03) Flashcards
FA. what is the way of UT infection?
Ascending
Urethra –> prostate (prostitis) –> bladder (cystitis) –> kidney (pyelonephritis) –> systemis (urosepsis)
Due to this ascention these infections share common microbiologic profiles.
FA. Cystitis presentation?
Dysuria, frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, WBC in urine (BUT NOT WBC CASTS).
FA. fundamental Pyelonephritis symtoms?
CVA tenderness, flank pain
hematuria, WBC CASTS
Systemic symptoms: fever, chills
FA. Uncomplicated UTI criteria.
Lower UTI is acute, simple cystitis (symptoms in other card) in otherwise healthy, nonpregnant woman who has not failed a/b therapy
FA. Uncomplicated UTI treatment.
TMP-SMX for 3 days
Nitrofurantoin for 5-7 days - only for cystitis, if suspected pyelo, when clearance < 60 ml/min or complicated UTI, dont use nitrof.
FA. Uncomplicated UTI. When culturing?
ONLY when treatment failed
UW. Uncomplicated UTI. when avoid TMP-SMX?
When locaql resistance > 20 proc.
UW. Uncomplicated UTI. What single shot drug?
Fosfomycin single dose
UW. Uncomplicated UTI. When fluoroquinolones?
Only when previously mentioned options cannot be used (TMP-SMX, nitrof, fosfomycin)
FA. Complicated UTI. criteria? summarized
summarized: one that does not meet criteria for uncomplicated.
FA. Complicated UTI. criteria detailed.
Symptoms same as in uncomplicated.
Everything depends on populations which are at higher risk for complexity.
pregnant
patient with comorbidities (such as diabetes),
infants and toddlers, and male sex;
immunocompromise or stents or urinary catheters, as well as those with recurrent or refractory UTls
A complicated UTI would also be any patient with systemic symptoms of UTI that might suggest pyelo nephritis.
FA. Complicated UTI. treatment? stable
fluroquinolones, third-/fourth-generation cephalosporins,
or TMP-SMX
Peroral is hemodinamically stable and can be treated outpatient
FA. Complicated UTI. treatment? unstable
Unstable hemodynamic - iv a/bs
IV third-/fourth-generation cephalosporins
typically given, or fluroquinolones
UW. Complicated UTI. treatment?
Fluoroquinolines (5-14 days)
extended spectrum eg ampic-sulbactam for more severe
UW. Complicated UTI. sampling
Obtain prior treatment and adjust ab if needed
UW. Uncomplicated UTI. nitrofurantoin complication HY?
Nitrofurantoin induced pulmonary injury 3-9days after drug + rashes + eosinophilia + lung findings
UW. Complicated UTI. what ab dont use and what use instead in pregnancy?
dont use fluoroquinolones
considercefpodoxime, cephalexin, amoxiclave, fosmomycin
UW complicated UTI in cases?
DM, pregnancy, renal failure, indwellin cath, urinary procedure (eg cystoscopy), urinary tract obstruction, immunosupression and hospital acquired.
FA. pregnancy UTI.
what is routinely performed and why in pregnant?
Urinalysis is routinely performed to screen for asymptomatic bacteriuria
FA. pregnancy UTI. increased risk for what?
patients are at increased risk for pyelonephritis and urosepsis
FA. pregnancy UTI.
asymptomatic bacteriuria treatment?
normally does not require treatment;
BUT, due to increased risk for com plications, pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteria are treated with either nitrofurantoin
or amoxicillin
Treatment of cystitis and pyelonephritis would be as for
treatment of complicated UTI
FA. pregnancy UTI.
asymptomatic bacteriuria. what to do after treatment?
follow-up culture to confirm
resolution
FA. pregnancy UTI. cystitis treatment?
as for complicated UTI.
But dont give fluoroquinolones in pregnancy, choose other drug
UW. pyeolonephritis. treatment outpatient?
Fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin)
UW. pyeolonephritis. treatment inpatient?
iv ab’s
fluoroquinolone, aminoglycoside+/- ampicillin
UW. pyeolonephritis. sampling?
obtain prior abs and adjust abs as needed
FA. prophylaxis for UTI. what patients?
Recurrent UTls (two or more infections in 6 months or three or more infections
in 1 year);
FA. prophylaxis for UTI.
What are methods? 3
behavioral modifications are first line and include i fluid intake (promoting urinary flow so that microbes cannot as easily ascend the urinary tract),
postcoital voiding/stoppage of spermicide use,
and vaginal estrogen in postmenopausal females
FA. what is recurrent UTI. criteria?
two or more infections in 6 months
or
three or more infections in 1 year
FA. prophylaxis for UTI.
what if behavioral is not effective?
Antibiotic prophylaxis (TMP-SMX or nitrofurantoin) after intercourse, first sign(s) of symptoms;
the physician can prescribe antibiotics at a low dose for 3-6 months or continuously
FA. Bladder pain syndrome (BPS) + UTI mimics.
what is other name for BPS?
Interstitial cystitis = bladder pain syndrome
FA. Bladder pain syndrome + UTI mimics.
What symptoms?
CHRONIC suprapubic pain/discomfort, dysuria, frequency, dyspareunia, pelvic pain, relief after voiding that lasts
>6 weeks without an underlying medical cause;
FA. Bladder pain syndrome + UTI mimics.
in what patients?
classically in women with psychiatric disease (analogous to fibromyalgia, IBS)
FA. Bladder pain syndrome + UTI mimics. treatment?
!!!!First-line treatment: Avoid dietary triggers
Amitriptyline, pain management (phenazopyridine or methenamine), bladder hydrodistention
FA. what is UTI mimics? what diseases? 3
Bladder pain syndrome
hemorrhagic cystitis (after cyclophosphamide)
bladder irritation from radiation therapy to pelvis
