Q

UTI risk factors

A
  • female
  • immobility
  • bowel/bladder inconteninence
  • urinary obstruction- pooling of urine
  • indwelling urinary catheters- follys

Q

uti clinical manifestation

A
  • asymptomatic
  • urgency/ frequency
  • dysuria- burning
  • hematuria- blood in urine
  • cloudy/ foul-smelling urine- more bacteria
  • fever, chills, fatigue
  • back/flank pain- progress to kidneys
  • confusion or sudden change in mental status- do urinalysis

- composed of: calcium, uric acid and magnesium

23
Q

patho of nephrolithiasis

A

minerals build up forming crystals that grow in size

24
Q

etiology nephrolithiasis

A
  • ph changes
  • increase Na concentration
  • stasis of urine
25
risk factors nephrolithiasis
- obesity - HTN - diet ( increased protein, increased an, decrease calcium)
26
hydronephrosis
abnormal dilation of the renal pelvis of one or both kidneys - unilateral renal involvement: indicates an obstruction in one of the ureters - bilateral renal involvement indicates an obstruction in the urethra
27
hydronephrosis patho
- obstruction of urine flow leads to fluid buildup within kidneys - dilation results in obstruction or pressure and compression on surrounding tissues and blood vessels - resulting in decreased glomerular filtration and potentially atrophy/ necrosis
28
hydronephrosis etiology
- urinary obstruction | - stones, tumors, strictures, stenosis, congenital defects
29
renal cell carcinoma
most freqently occurring kidney cancer in adults - increase incidence in men - 50-70 years old 5 year survival rate - localized 93% - distant spread 13% - metastasis to the liver, lungs, bone, or nervous system is common - does not typically respond well to chemo - preferred tx partial or total nephrectomy
30
bladder cancer
cancer that forms in the tissue of the bladder - incidence rates - increase age, increase male, increase Caucasians types: categorized by tissue of origin - recurrence common
31
bladder cancer risk factors
- smoking - chemical exposure - recurrent uti. chronic bladder irritation - chemo/radiation
32
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate gland
33
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) etiology
- unknown --> decreased testosterone | - common over age 50
34
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patho
- abnormal proliferation --> enlargement of prostate - compression of urethra --> obstruction of urine flow - urine collects in bladder causing uti and thickening of bladder
35
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) risk factors
``` obesity cardiovascular disease DM2 inactivity ED ```
36
acute kidney injury
sudden loss of renal function - days to weeks - generally reversible
37
acute kidney injury etiology
inadequate renal perfusion - prerenal (before kidney)- decrease bp, HF - intrarenal (within kidney)- inflammation of glomerulus/ compression on internal structures - postrenal (after kidney)- urethral/ bladder obstruction- interfere with the ability to secrete urine
38
acute kidney injury patho
- abrupt onset | - 4 phase process
39
acute kidney injury lab values
creatinine increase - decreased urinary excretion - waste product produced by muscle BUN increase - decreased urinary excretion
40
acute kidney injury phases
- prodromal - oliguric - diuretic - recovery
41
acute kidney injury phases: prodromal
- damage occurs | - pt. asyomptomatic
42
acute kidney injury phases: oliguric
- nephrons are damaged - decreased glomerular filtration - decreased urine output - less than 400 ml/day
43
acute kidney injury phases: diuretic
- renal function begins to improve - tubular damage continues to impair ability to concentrate urine appropriately - leads to diuresis- excess urine output (depletes fluids and electrolytes) - up to 5l
44
acute kidney injury phases: recovery
- can take 3-12 months | - glomerular filtration returns to normal
45
chronic kidney disease
gradual, irreversible loss of renal function - nephrons become injured - replacement by scar tissue - affects 30 million adults
46
chronic kidney disease etiology
- DM- diabetes #1 cause - HTN- affects glomelura - urinary obstruction- increase pressure on kidneys - renal artery stenosis- not good blood flow - nephrotoxic medications- kidney toxic (NSAIDS) - sickle cell disease - SLE- sickle cell attacks cells in nephron - smoking- harden Bu- small Bu in kidneys - aging- less effective
47
chronic kidney disease patho
damaged nephrons --> impaired kidney function - decrease regulation and ability to eliminate waste products and drug exretion - increase bp
48
chronic kidney disease stage 1
kidney damage present by GFR > 90
49
chronic kidney disease stage 2
kidney damage worsens as the GFR falls (60-89)
50
chronic kidney disease stage 3
kidney function is signficantly impaired as GFR is between 30 and 59
51
chronic kidney disease stage 4
kidney function is barley present with GFR dropping between 15 and 29
52
chronic kidney disease stage 5
kidney failure as the GFR drops to less than 15
53
prerenal
(before kidney) | decrease bp, HF
54
intrarenal
(within kidney) | inflammation of glomerulus/ compression on internal structures
55
postrenal
(after kidney) | urethral/ bladder obstruction- interfere with the ability to secrete urine
