list names of infections in urinary system (4) types of UTIs

s/s of pyelonephritis
take all antibiotics
Term
signifigicance of having acute pyelonephritis while pregnant
Definition
can cause preterm labor or adult repiratory distress syndrome=fluid in lungs->respiratory failure
Term
complication of acute pyelonephritis
Definition
chronic pyelonephritis
Term
chronic pyelonephritis
Definition
repeated infectious episodes that were not successfully treated created scar tissue so eventually pt develops chronic renal disease
*can lead to ESRD
Term
glomerulonephritis
Definition
IMMUNOLOGICAL disorder that causes inflammation in glomerulus
Term
common cause of glomerulonephritis
Definition
group a strep infection (skin or respiratory)
Term
what do most cases of glomerulonephritis result from
Definition
trapping of circulating antigen-antibody complexes
Term
in glomerulonephritis, pt will have a hx of...
Definition
recent infection, immunization, autoimmune disease...remember it is immunological
Term
do children with strep a glomerulonephritis recover?
Definition
95% recover fully...can develop ESRD years later
Term
adults with glomerulonephritis
Definition
15% of adults develop chronic glomerulonephritis and can develop CKD
Term
what happens during glomerulonephritis??
Definition
the inflammation impedes filtration in the glomerulus which causes changes in the nephron =no filtration
Term
glomerulonephritis looks like...
Definition
arf but with blood and protein in urine
Term
CM of acute glomerulonephritis
Definition
sudden hematuria (smoky cola colored on psagn)
RBC casts are indicitave of AGN
generalized edema
HTN, HA, CHF, pleural effusions-> fluid build up
oliguria
abd or flank pain
Term
what cm is indicatie of AGN
Definition
RBC CASTS
Term
diagnostic studies of glomerulonephritis
Definition
protein and blood in urine
low urine specific gravity=not filtering
creatinine and BUN serum elevated
creatinine clearance low
biopsy reveals inflamed glomeruli
Term
Nutriton for AGN
Definition
High calorie, Low protein, low sodium, retricted fluids
anorexia and nv may need intervention
Term
acute glomuleronephritis and fatigue
Definition
direct correlation between activity and amt of blood and protein in urine
Term
if blood and protein in urine,...
Definition
rest the patient
Term
if fve, give what?
Definition
diuretics and antihypertenives for bp
Term
ex. of antibiotic for strep infection
Definition
cipro/cephalasporins
Term
nephrotic damage
Definition
aka nephrosis
a s et of cm arising from PROTEIN WASTING s/t diffuse glomerular damage
Term
precipitating factors of nephrotic syndrome
Definition
SEE TEXT
Term
most common cause of nephrotic syndrome/nephrosis
Definition
glomerulonephritis
Term
what happens during nephrosis?
Definition
immunological process causes glomerular basement membrane to become permeable to protein, especially albumin
PLASMA LEVELS of albumin depleted->alters oncotic pressure->3rd spacing, FVE, dehydration
Term
what will you see with nephrosis?????
Definition
*massive proteinuria 4-30 g/day
*severe hypoalbuminemia can drop to 1-2.5 g/dL
*massive edema BIGGEST PROBLEM
*hyperlipidemia, anorexia, malaise, irritability
Term
most serious complication of nephrosis
Definition
thrombus formation (PE, renal thrombosis) long term anticoagulant therapy-->vessels are dehydrated
Term
how do pts with nephrosis lose weight?
Definition
from protein loss not fluid loss
Term
nursing diagnosis of nephrosis
Definition
fluid volume excess? don't restrict fluids but its not in vascular space(dehydrated)...may need BP meds and albumin
Term
what meds help to stop inflammation in glomeruli during nephrosis?
Definition
corticosteroids and cytotoxic meds
Term
Diet for nephrosis
Definition
Low protein protects nephrons, high protein to prevent catabolism LOOK AT PROTEIN LOSS
low sodium for edema
high carbs for energy
Term
minimal change nephrotic syndrome seen in

prednisone 7-21 days; start tx agai if relapse
Term
chronic glomerulonephritis
Definition
develops over decades as immune reponse destroys basement membrane
*can be seen after agn or nephrosis
often detect on routine UA OR HTN workup

minor renal trauma usually caused by
Definition
blunt trauma (car, motorcycle accident, sports, pedestrian injury
Term

bench surgery
try to save as much as possible***
Term

pedicle (vascular) injuries

damage to renal blood supply
CAN DIE QUICKLY->rapid hemorrhage
laceration or disruption of artery or vein
Term

emergency fluid resuscitation with vasoactive colloids, plasma
TRY TO KEEP PT ALIVE SO CAN REPAIR VESSELS

most common cause of bladder trauma
Definition
fractured pelvis
Term
another cause of bladder trauma (2)
Definition
sexual assault and seatbelts especially with full bladder
Term

Definition
pain low in abd; hematuria, anuria or difficulty voiding
Term
what does blood coming from the meatus mean?
Definition
urethral disruption. DO NOT CATHETERIZE until you determine if disruption exists

Definition
remove urine and keep bladder empty until it heals
Term
voiding cystourethrogram

shows bladder emptying, used with bladder trauma
