8
Q

What causes proteinuria?

A

With exercise there is increased blood flow to the kidneys, which leads to more small proteins to be filtered through, and then all of the extra protein that was filtered cannot be absorbed

Q

What are the S/S of a kidney contusion/laceration? (x4) How should you deal with a suspected case of this?

A

Severe pain in the flank, hematuria, possible nausea and vomiting, and symptoms of shock; refer to the ED immediately (if they are hemodynamically stable they will stay overnight for observation, but if not stable then surgery will be required)

Q

How would you deal with a traumatic hematuria?

A

Their exam will be normal (no CVA tenderness or peritoneal signs) but the urine dipstick will be positive for blood. They should cease all activity and be referred to the physician. Push fluids and repeat dipsticks daily until its clear…they allow non-contact activity and if they urine continues to be clear then allow contact activity

Q

What is atraumatic hematuria? What is it caused by? Who does it affect the most?

A

Mild gross or microscopic hematuria that is very common in athletes (especially with long runs or intense exercise–20% of marathoners). It is caused by the bladder walls slapping against one another

54
Q

What causes nephrotic syndrome?

A

Damage to the basement menbrane of the glomerus (or the filter of the kidneys). This increase the permeability to the proteins, leading to a large loss of protein in the urine. This large loss of protein in the urine leads to polyuria to try and dilute the urine, and hypoalbuminemia because of the change in osmotic pressure leading to massive edema

55
Q

What causes nephritis syndrome?

A

Damage to the capillaries in the glomerus…this allows actual blood cells to be filtered in the urine (aka hematuria). Because the glomerular filtration rate is being decreased, less blood is being filtered resulting in decreased urine output and an increase in blood volume (leading to hypertension)

Obtructions of the urinary tract (kidney stones, enlarged prostate, or medications)
