Urinary, Cardio, anemia, endocrine Flashcards
biggest worry in kids with UTI?
hydronephrosis and renal scarring
what is Vesicoureteral Reflux?
abnormal flow of urin from bladder into the upper urinary tract, is a congential anomaly and depends on the valve in the ureter that is supposed to prevent reflux
what relationship does the position of the ureter tunnel have to do with the likelihood of reflux?
the shorter the tunnel, the more likely reflux is
as children grow the tunnell elongates, so can grow out of VUR

reflux with dilation of ureter and mild blunting of renal calyces
Grade V VUR
reflux with dilation of ureter and blunting of renal calyces

systolic or diastolic BP between 90th and 95th [ercentiles for age, gender and height
definition of perhypertension after the age of 12
BP b/t 120/80 and the 95th percentile
how is hypertension staged?
extent to which BP exceeds the 95th percentile , determines treatment, management, and urgency
stage 1 hypertension?
BPs that range from the 95th percentile to 5mm hg above the 99th percentile
stage 2 hypetension?
BPs that are higher then 5mm hg above the 99th percentile
which type of hypertension is more common in adolescents?
primary
which type of HTN is more common in preadolescents?
secondary
lab studies/ tests for pt with HTN?
Ambulatory BP UA/ culture CBC serum electrolytes, BUN, Cr, Ca uric acid fasting lipids maybe CXR, EKG ECHO renal ultrasound
Labs are normal in what type of HTN?
what is the exception?
primary
uric acid, usually elevated in kids with essential htn
what is the most common cause of HTN in children??
Renal disease
the younger the child and the higher the BP what diagnosis of what type of HTN is mostly likely
secondary
what are indications for antihypertensive drug therapy in children?
symptomatic hypertension secondary hypertension hypertensive target organ damage diabetes persistent HTN after non pharmacologic tx
what are goals of treatment for HTN in children:
for those with uncomplicated primary:
for those with chronic renal disease, diabetes, or hypertensive target organ damage
