Q

Glomerulomphritis

Collaborative Care

A

increase fluid

diuretics

antihypertensives

sodium and fluid restriction

Q

NEphrotic Syndrome

Nursing Interventions

A

daily weighs

I/Os

measure abdominal girth

cleanse edematous skin gently

avoid injury by monitoring while on diuretic

Patient at risk for malnutrition due to protein loss (protein is needed for wound healing)

Small frequent feeds

Pt. at risk for skin breakdown

17
Q

Urinary Tract Calculi

Risk Factors

A

o Abnormalities that result in increased urine levels of calcium, oxaturic acid, uric acid, citric acid
o WARM climates- that cause increased fluid loss
o LARGE intake of PROTEIN that increase uric acide, tea or fruit juices that elevate urinary oxalate
o LARGE intake of CALCIUM- only is susceptible
o LOW Fluid intake
o Family history, GOUT, renal acidosis
o Sendentary ocuupation, immobility, high sugar diets

18
Q

Urinary Tract Calculi

Causes

A
  • Calcium phosphate, calcium oxalate, uric acide, cysteine, struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate)
  • 75% are composed of calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate
19
Q

Urinary Tract Calculi

Clinical Mx

A

PAIN
abdominal or flank pain
urinary obstruction

20
Q

Urinary Tract Calculi

DX

A
  • urinalysis- may or may not be normal; they may show blood or cyrstals
  • KUB: X-ray for kidney and bladder and reveal stones
  • No IVP bc of renal obstruction
  • Increased hydration will help kidney stones pass on their own
  • 90% are smaller than 5mm; if smaller they will pass on their own with hydration and/or diuretic
21
Q

Urinary Tract Calculi

Nursing Intervention

A
  • meds for pain: opiods, morphine (moderate- severe)
  • mild-moderate: NSAIDs
  • spams- antispamsatic drugs
  • encourage fluid intake;
  • pt will be sent home with strainer
  • If infection you need to administer antibiotics
  • Provide pre and post op teaching
  • If stone too big pt. will need surgical removal
  • Nutrition
22
Q

Urinary Tract Calculi

Treatment

A

• Cystoscopy
o Done to remove small stones from the bladder;
• Lithostripsy-
o Used for large stones
o stones are pulverized prior to removal (when home they will strain urine as well); hematuria is common after procedure; some require stents
• Percutaneous nephrolithomy-
o through skin from outside of body to get to kidney stones

23
Q

Urinary Tract Calculi

Nutrition

A

adequate fluids

avoid caffeine
