Blood flow through the kidneys
GFR
Expected urine output in 0.5ml/kg/hr
Kidney is ____________ relation to the stomach
Large
Prone to injury
Urethra is shorter which means?
Increased UTI- Bacteria entry into the bladder
GFR is______________ in infants which means?
Slower; Dehydration risk
What is the bladder capacity in newborn?
30mL
Adult size by 1 year- 270mL
Immature at birth but mature in adolescence
Reproductive Organs
Past Medical history for GU Disorders
Maternal Polyhydramnios, oligohydramnios, diabetes, HTN, or alcohol or cocaine ingestion
Neonatal History: Presence of a single umbilical artery, abdominal mass, chromosome abnormality, or congenital malformation

Common Medical Treatments for GU Disorders
Urinary Diversion
Foley Catheter
Ureteral Stent
Nephrostomy Tube
Suprapubic Tube
Vesicostomy
Appendicovesicotomy
Bladder Augmentation
Dialysis
important to clean urine bag and pat dry
True
If collecting urine culture, be sure to use betadine or cleaning application per policy and apply bag, check bag frequently for urine.
Sterile Urinary Catheterization
Same as adults but size varies
Discuss procedure with parents
6F for ..
Birth to 2 years
6-8 Foley for
2 to 5 Years
8-10 Foley for..
5 to 10 years
10-12 Foley for…
10- 16 years
Urine specimens may be collected using a variety of different methods in infants and children
True
Urine Bag
Sterile Urinary Catheterization
Suprapubic Aspiration
When performing or examining catheterization allow children to sit with their parent to decrease anxiety
True
Use familiar terms such as pee pee or tinkle or potty to explain the child what is needed and to gain cooperation
Structural Disorders
Hypospadias/ epispadias
Obstructive Uropathy
Hydronephrosis
Vesicoureteral Reflux
Urethral Defect in which the opening is on the ventral surface of the penis rather than the end of the penis .
Hypospadias
Urethral defect in which the opening is on the dorsal surface of the penis.
Epispadias
What happens if hypospadias or epispadias is left untreated?
Boy may not be able to urinary stream from standing position
May also result in erectile dysfunction or interfere with depositing sperm during intercourse
Repairs for hypo and epispadias occurs at
12 -18 months
Urinary output is very closely monitored due to a temporary stent or catheter placement.
True
No urinary output=
PRIORITY
Indicates urethra is blocked and must be reported to HCP; circumcision is delayed
Any obstruction along the ureter between the kidney, pelvis, and bladder
Obstructive Uropathy
Common Sites for Obstructive Uropathy
UPJ- Pelvis to Ureter
UVJ- lower ureter to bladder
Ureterocele- Ureter swells into bladder
Posterior Urethral Valves- Flaps of tissue in proximal urethra, males only
Complications of Obstructive Uropathy
Recurrent UTI, renal insufficiency, damage to kidney resulting in kidney failure
Requires surgical intervention
_______________ is withheld from IVF until adequate UOP is established to avoid hyperkalemia should the kidneys fail to function properly
Potassium
Renal Pelvis and calyces are dilated
May occur as congenital defect, because of obstructive uropathy or VUR
Hydronephrosis
Complications include renal insufficiency, HTN, and renal failure
Urine from bladder flows back up to the ureters caused by faulty valve within the bladder
Vesicoureteral Reflux
Occurs during bladder contraction with voiding
If reflex occurs when the urine is infected, the kidney exposed to bacteria which may result in in?
Pyelonephritis
