Q

Normal UA values: ketones

A

0; ketones in urine may indicate DM, dehydration, starvation or excessive aspirin usage

16
Q

Normal UA values: blood

A

0; blood in urine may be a result of menstruation in women

17
Q

Normal UA values: specific gravity

A

1.0053-1.030; high specific gravity reflects concentrated urine (dehydration, reduced renal blood flow, increased ADH secretion); low specific gravity reflects diluted urine (overhydration, early renal disease, inadequate ADH secretion)

18
Q

Normal UA values: RBCs

A

0-2; high RBCs may indicate trauma, disease, or surgery of lower urinary tract

19
Q

Normal UA values: WBCs

A

0-4; high WBCs may indicate UTI

20
Q

Normal UA values: bacteria

A

0; bacteria indicate UTI

21
Q

Normal UA values: casts

A

0; casts indicate renal alterations

22
Q

Normal UA values: crystals

A

0; excess crystals such as uric acid or calcium phosphate result in renal stone formation

23
Q

What is the purpose of a CT scan on the renal system?

A

To detect tumors or obstructions

24
Q

What is the purpose of an IVP?

A

To view obstructions in the collecting ducts, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder or urethra (ex: check for kidney stones)

25
Q

What is the purpose of an ultrasound on the bladder (bladder scan)?

A

To estimate the volume of the urine in the bladder (residual volume)

26
Q

Define functional urinary incontinence.

A

Loss of urine caused by factors outside the urinary tract (ex: environmental barriers, immobility, cognitive/sensory function)

27
Q

Define stress urinary incontinence.

A

Involuntary leakage of urine during increased abd pressure in the absence of bladder muscle contraction (ex: while coughing, laughing, sneezing)

28
Q

Define urge urinary incontinence.

A

Involuntary passage of urine after a strong sense of urgency to void (ex: with bladder spasm or contraction)

29
Q

Define mixed urinary incontinence.

A

Combination of urge and stress incontinence

30
Q

Define overflow urinary incontinence.

A

Involuntary loss of urine at intervals without sensation of urge to void (ex: spinal cord dysfunction or peripheral neuropathy resulting in bladder overflow)

31
Q

Define hyperactive/overactive bladder.

A

Urinary urgency associated with urinary frequency and nocturia

32
Q

Normal daily urine output

A

1200-1500 mL

33
Q

Normal daily fluid intake

A

2200-2700 mL

34
Q

Normal values: GFR

A

125 mL/min

35
Q

A

Causes decreased bladder muscle tone
