Inflammatory Urinary Disorders

URINARY TRACT INFECTION n The urinary tract infection may be broadly classified as upper

URINARY TRACT INFECTION n The urinary tract infection may be broadly classified as upper and lower urinary tract infections. n The patient may have both an upper and a lower urinary tract infection. The frequency of urinary tract infections varies with age and sex and may be acute or chronic.

Risk Factors For Urinary Tract Infection n Inability or failure to empty the bladder

Risk Factors For Urinary Tract Infection n Inability or failure to empty the bladder completely n Obstructed urinary flow , from congenital anomalies, from urethral strictures , contracture of the bladder neck, bladder tumors , calculi in the ureters or kidneys compression of the ureters and neurologic abnormalities.

n Contributing conditions as: § diabetes mellitus § Pregnancy § Neurologic disorders § Gout

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION n Urethrovesical Reflux” back flow of urine “ with: § Coughing § Sneezing § Straining n Routes of infection: § Ascending infection e. g. Because the female urethra is short, also several Studies show that sexual intercourse is the major precipitating factor of UTI in women.

Clinical Manifestations of UTI 1. Urgency 2. Dysuria 3. Slight to gross hematuria 4.

Clinical Manifestations of UTI 1. Urgency 2. Dysuria 3. Slight to gross hematuria 4. Bacteriuria and positive urine cultures as the basis for diagnosing lower urinary tract infections.

Diagnostic findings of UTI n Urine cultures n Testing methods – Leukocyte esterase test

Diagnostic findings of UTI n Urine cultures n Testing methods – Leukocyte esterase test is positive “WBCs in urine” – STD”sexual transmitted disease” may be performed n Computerized Tomography ”C. T. ” to detect pyelonephritis, abscess n Ultrasonography to detect obstruction, abscess, tumors, cysts. n Intravenous pyelography to detect strictures or stones.

Specific Nursing Care for UTI 1. The medication “anti bacterial” must be given on

Specific Nursing Care for UTI 1. The medication “anti bacterial” must be given on a time on a regular schedule. 2. The nurse must follow complete aseptic technique if instrumentation is indicated. 3. Sitz bath may provide to relieve pain or itching.

Pyelonephritis Definition: n It is an bacterial infections that involves both the parenchyma and the pelvis of the kidney, it may affect one or both kidneys. n It is frequently secondary to ureterovesical reflux n It may be acute or chronic when it is chronic the kidneys are scarred, contracted and non-functioning

Clinical Findings of Acute peylonephritis A. Symptoms : 1. Chills, moderate to high fever.

Clinical Findings of Acute peylonephritis A. Symptoms : 1. Chills, moderate to high fever. 2. Constant loin pain unilateral or bilateral. 3. Symptoms of cystitis : frequency nocturia urgency dysuria 4. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are common. 5. Young children complain of abdominal discomfort. B. Signs : 1. The patient appears quite ill. 2. Intermittent chills with fever ranging 38. 5 : 40 C. 3. Tachycardia (90 beat/m : 140 beat/m). 4. Abdominal distention.

Specific Nursing Care for peylonephritis 1. Health promotion and maintenance measures should be applied.

Specific Nursing Care for peylonephritis 1. Health promotion and maintenance measures should be applied. 2. Early treatment for cystitis to prevent ascending infections. 3. Encourage the patient to drink at least 2000 ml of fluid everyday. 4. Antibiotic therapy according to results of urine cultures. 5. Serial urine cultures and other evaluation studies must be continued.

Pathology of Chronic Pyelonephritis The kidney shows atrophy of variable degree depending upon the severity of the involvement. In minimal involvement, the kidney shows scarring in the renal surfaces while in extensive involvement, there is a fibrosis specially in the pelvic mucosa.

Specific Nursing Care for chronic Pyelonephritis 1. The nurse must instruct the patient to continue antibiotic and antimicrobial therapy even after symptoms resolve. 2. Encourage the patient to drink 3 liters/day of fluids unless otherwise instructed. 3. Monitor urinary output and report if there is oliguria or intake more than output.

4. Weighing daily and instruct the patient to report immediately about weight gain. 5.

4. Weighing daily and instruct the patient to report immediately about weight gain. 5. Teach the patient measures to prevent infection and early seek for medical advice if there are signs of urinary infection. 6. Continue with medical follow-up and get follow-up urine cultures as instructed.
