Unit 18 Flashcards
pyelonephritis
upper uti
what does an upper uti include
inflm of renal pelvis and parenchyma
et of pyelonephritis
bacteria (usually E coli)
Risks for pyelonephritis
supressed IR
cathetorization
urinary reflux
DM/infc in general
pattern of infc in pyelonephritis
ascending (urethra->bladder->uretur->kidney)
what does progression of bact in phyeloneph lt
kidney scaring
what type of tissue is responsible for kidney scaring
inc in fibrous and scar tissue
what is scar tissue formation in GU rt pyeloneph dependent on
duration of the infection
what does scar tissue to do renal fx
decreases it
chronic pyelonephritis
presistant infc or ongoing inflm -> obstr or reflux (str issue)
comp of chronic pyeloneph
renal damage -> failure
mnfts of pyelonep
rapid onset w/o warning those of infc dysuria pain freq/urgency pyuria
where does a pt feel pain in pyeloneph
lower back
what other mnft occurs in chronic pyeloneph
sev htn rt retention
dysuria
pain rt urine passing over areas of inflm
tx of pyeloneph
eradicate bact with abx
how long is the course of abx for acute pyelonep
10-14 days PO
what do we add to tx if pyeloneph is chronic
anti inflm drugs
what 5 things are defensive factors against lower UTIs
local IR mucin layer washout prostatic fluid microbial antagonism
how does a mucin layer defend utis
glycoprotein that sits ontop of epith tissue forming barrier between bact and bladder wall
what str secs mucin
bladder
fx of washout in uti defense
forceful stream of urine flushes out any microbes that may have entered urethra
fx of prostatic fluid in uti defense
contain anti microbial properties
fx of microbial antagonism in uti defense
normal periurethral flora provides defense against abn flora in their niche
when is there inc chance for uti
when risks > defensive factors
risks for uti
cathertorization
obstr
how is cathetorization a risk for uti
bact attatch to cathedor surface and coat themselves with a biofilm that protects it from pts IR.
how is obstr a risk for uti
urine statsis dt no washout -> inc reflux which carries microbes
mnfts lower uti
acute onset
frequency, dysuria
lowerabdm/back pain
what is pain in lower uti related to
kidney location
dx of lower uti
mnfts
urinalysis
tx for lower uti
abx
tx underlying cause (obstr, reflux, stasis, cathedor)
fx of glomerulus
active sec, absorp, filtration, change permeability
5 categories of glomerular disease
nephrotic syndrome nephritic syndrome sediment disorders rapidly progressive glomerular nephritis chornic glomerulonephritis
nephrotic syndrome
inc perm. inc components move out at glom lvl -> ultra filtration, inc fluid (water and lytes) and protein loss
nephritic syndrome
dec in perm. dec components move thru -> fluid retention and nitrogenous waste retention
sediment disorders
eg hematouria, proteinuria. molecules with inc sizes percipitate out
how man chronic glomerulonephritis present
with mfnts of either/including nephrotic s, nephritic s, sediment disordres
what type of reaction is rapidly progressive glom neph (RPGN)
type 3 H rxn
2 main problems with rpgn
impede filtration
abn deposits and attempted removal by macrophage -> endothelial destr -> inc perm dt “holes” and inflm
what must be present for ic to form (rpgn
infection
how many weeks does infc usually proceed rpgn
1 - 1.5
which pts have inc risk for rpgn
peds pts who had strep throat or dermal infc dt beta hemolytic stretococcus bact
what percent of adult cases of rpgn lt rf
1/3
2 histologic components of rpgn
hypercellularity
glomerular enlargment
hypercellularity
inc number of cells, pathologic hyperplasia, unexplained
what 3 cells does hypercellularity normally affect
wbc
mesangial (between caps)
endothelial cells
why does glomerular enlargement occur in rpgn
inflm and swelling
mnfts of rpgn
impeded filt and perm
olgiuria followed by proteinuria and hematouria
inc bun, creatinin
fluid retention
what is olgiuria in rpgn rt
dec urine vol rt dec perm in glomerulsu
what is proteinuria in rpgn rt
rt tears in endothelial lining allowing large molecules to escape
what hematuria in rpgn rt
cap damage
