Cards

Term
Causes Inside Urinary Tract
Definition
stones, tumors, trauma, infection, congenital neurogenic bladder, congential reflux
Term
Causes Outside Urinary Tract
Definition
BPH, pregnancy, cancer w/ pressure, inflammation of the GI tract
Term
Urinary Tract Obstructions Pathophys
Definition
stasis or urine --> infection --> damage of organs involved
Term
Hydroureter
Definition
accumulation of urine in ureter
Term
Hydronephrons
Definition
accumulation of urine in urine collecting system
Term
Nephrolithiasis
Definition
masses of crystals and protein which are one of the most common causes of urinary tract obstruction
Term
Contributing Factors of Nephrolithiasis
Definition
dehydration, inadequate fluid intake, increased intake of substances that form stones
urine pH
various diseases, drugs
Term
Nephrolithiasis Pathophys
Definition
alkaline urine-prone to calcium carbonate and phosphate stone formation
acidic urine- prone to uric acid stone formation
either pH- calcium oxalate and crystine formation of stones
Term
Nephrolithiasis Clinical Manifestations of Pain
Definition
in ureters causes distention, colicky pain as trying to pass stone
if above ureters- asymptomatic unless an infection or obstruction is present, dull, achy, and constant
Term
Nephrolithiasis Clinical Manifestations
Definition
N/V, hematuria
Term
Neurogenic Bladder Pathophys
Definition
interruption of the nerve supply to the bladder,resulting in a functional obstruction to urine passage
may have CNS or spinal cord origin
Term
Types of Neurogenic Bladder
Definition
Upper Motor Neuron Damage (CNS)
Lower Motor Neuron Damage (Spinal Cord)
Term
Upper Motor Neuron Damage Pathophys
Definition
reflex arc intact- senses fullness but sensation isn't felt so can't inhibit voiding "reflex bladder"
Seen in quadriplegics
Term
Lower Motor Neuron Damage Pathophys
Definition
disruption of reflex arc at sacral level, loss of sensation of fullness "atonic bladder"
Seen in paraplegics
Term
Polycystic Kidneys
Definition
kidney's with multiple fluid-filled cysts
Term
In infants with polycystic kidneys, the cysts can get how big?
Definition
10% of body weight
Term
Adult Onset of Polycystic Kidneys Inheritance
Definition
autosomal dominant
Term
Child ons
Definition
Term
Adult Onset of Polycystic Kidneys Inheritance
Definition
autosomal dominant
Term
Child onset of Polycystic Kidneys Inheritance Pattern
Definition
autosomal recessive
Term
Percentage of Infants that Progress to Childhood with Polycystic Kidneys
Definition
25%- infants die at birth or shortly after
Term
Polycystic Kidneys Clinical Manifestations
Definition
abdominal mass, failure to thrive, UTIs, hematuria, renal insufficiency
Term
UTI Etio
Definition
gram-negative E. Coli (80-90% of all initial cases)
Term
Defenses Against UTIs
Definition
frequent voiding, acidic urine, vesicoureteral junction, prostatic secretions, good personal hygiene
Term
Cystitis
Definition
inflammation of bladder
Term
Most common type of UTI
Definition
Cystitis
Term
Increased Risk for Cystitis
Definition
sexually active females, pregnancy, indwelling catheters, kidney stones, tumors, neurogenic bladder, poor hygiene, BPH, DM
Term
Cystitis Clinical Manifestations
Definition
frequency, urgency, dysuria, pain (low back, flank, or suprapubic), hematuria/cloudy urine
Term
Acute Pyelonephritis
Definition
infection of renal pelvis
Term
Acute Pyelonephritis Etio
Definition
obstruction (stones) w/ reflux of urine into ureters
Term
Acute Pyelonephritis Risk Factors
Definition
neurogenic bladder, trauma, pregnancy, catheters, endoscopes
Term
Acute Pyelonephritis Pathophys
Definition
(usually affects tubules, not glomeruli)
focal inflammatory process w/ WBC infiltration, edema, and purulent urine --> if continues, tubule destruction --> scar formation and atrophy of affected tubules --> chronic polynephritis
Term
Acute Pyelonephritis Clinical Manifestations
Definition
chills, fever
flank/groin pain
dysuria
Term
Chronic Pyelonephritis
Definition
recurrent or persistent autoimmune infection of kidneys --> tubular destruction and scarring --> decreased renal function --> can cause renal failure
Term
Chronic Pyelonpephritis Etio
Definition
more likely w/ obstructive conditions (stones, reflux), recurrent pyelonephritis, ischemia, irradiation, drug toxicity (phenacetin, ASA, acetaminophen)
Term
Chronic Pyelonephritis Clinical Manifestations
Definition
minimal and vague, may have HTN, mimic acute, urine is dilute
Term
Renal Cell Carcinoma Etio
Definition
Adenocarcinoma, usually unilateral, metastasis to lungs, liver, lymph nodes, bone, CNS, 2x more frequent in males, increased incidence in smokers, exposure to heavy metals, asbestos, risk factors=HTN, obesity, and estrogen therapy
Term
Renal Cell Carcinoma Clinical Manifestations
Definition
hematuria
weight loss, flank pain, palpable mass
distant metastases to lungs, lymph nodes, liver, bone, thyroid, CNS
Term
Bladder Tumors Etio
Definition
alteration of normal bladder epithelium, highest in men over 60 yrs or those working in industrial plants, women who take large amts of phenacetin
Term
Bladder Tumor Clinical Manifestations
Definition
may be asymptomatic or have hematuria
advanced symptoms- pelvic pain and frequency
metastasis to lymph nodes, liver, lungs
Term
Glomerulonephritis
Definition
inflammation of glomerulus (most common cause of renal failure)
Term
Most Common Cause of Renal Failure
Definition
Glomerulonephritis
Term
Glomerulonephritis Etio
Definition
immunologic abnormalities, drugs, toxins, vascular disorders, systemic diseases (lupus, DM)
Term
Glomerulonephritis Patho
Definition
an immune response within glomerular capillary filtration membrane
Term
An immune response within glomerular capillary filtration membrane due to:
Definition
deposition of circulating AG-AB complexes
formation of AB which react against glomerular basement membrane
Term
Glomerulonephritis Clinical Manifestations
Definition
hematuria (w/ RBC casts), smoky-brown tinged urine, proteinuria exceeding 3-5 g/day
Term
Acute Glomerulonephritis
Definition
usually appears 10 days after strep infection
Term
Associated with Strep Infection
Definition
Acute Glomerulonephritis
Term
Acute Glomerulonephritis Clinical Manifestations
