urinary tract Flashcards
Damage to the peripheral nerves innervating the urinary bladder can cause
Underactive bladder syndrome
consequences of urinary BLADDER obstruction
Hydroureter (ureter)
Hydronephrosis
Obstructive uropathy
Kidney failure
difference between hydroureter and Hydronephrosis
dilatation of the ureter vs
dilation of kidney’s collecting system
Obstructive uropathy
kidney damage due to urinary tract obstruction
pathogenesis of urinary tract infection into correct order
Urethritis (urethra)
Cystitis (bladder)
Ureteritis (ureter)
Pyelonephritis
patho mechanism of Urge incontinence
Detrusor muscle over-activity
-involuntary contractions of the bladder
patho mechanism of Stress incontinence
Weakness or damage to the pelvic floor muscles and urethral sphincter
patho mechanism of Overflow incontinence
Bladder outlet obstruction/impaired detrusor muscle contractility –> continuous dribbling
Which conditions require interventions that promote urination?
Urethral E. coli infection
Nephrolithiasis
Neurogenic bladder
what causes uric acid stone formation
high protein diet
low urine pH
primary reason for compensatory hypertrophy in the kidney?
Loss of nephrons
Which events need to happen for urination to occur?
-Detrusor contraction (ANS activation)
-external urinary sphincter relaxation (SNS inhibit)
