m General:
At the end of our 1-2 hours case
presentation we will be able to know about
nephrolithiasis, its cause, treatment, and
preventive measures. With this, we hope we
will be able to know how to care patients
having this kind of condition.
pecific:
Within 1-2 hours case presentation we
should be able to:
m Define what nephrolithiasis is.
m Discuss the normal anatomy and physiology
related to this condition.
m Trace the pathophysiology of the said
condition.
m Formulate an appropriate nursing care plan
for this disease.
m Discuss the different drugs to be used in this
disease.
m Discuss the different diagnostic exams and
laboratory results.
m Provide desired health teaching related to
patient¶s condition.
m Formulate a prognosis with regards to
patient¶s condition.
The condition of having kidney stones is
termed nephrolithiasis. Having stones at any
location in the urinary tract is referred to as
urolithiasis, and the term ureterolithiasis is
used to refer to stones located in the ureters.
A kidney stone is a hard, crystalline mineral
material formed within the kidney or urinary
tract. Kidney stones are a common cause of
blood in the urine (hematuria) and often
severe pain in the abdomen, flank, or groin.
m Kidney stones are sometimes called renal
calculi. Kidney stones form when there is a
decrease in urine volume and/or an excess
of stone-forming substances in the urine.
The most common type of kidney stone
contains calcium in combination with either
oxalate or phosphate. Other chemical
compounds that can form stones in the
urinary tract include uric acid and the amino
acid cystine.
m Dehydration from reduced fluid intake or
strenuous exercise without adequate fluid
replacement increases the risk of kidney
stones. Obstruction to the flow of urine can
also lead to stone formation. In this regard,
climate may be a risk factor for kidney stone
development, since residents of hot and dry
areas are more likely to become dehydrated
and susceptible to stone formation. Kidney
stones can also result from infection in the
urinary tract; these are known as struvite or
infection stones.
m There are some types of calculi: the
calcium, oxalate, struvite, uric acid, cystine,
and xanthine. Despite the type of stone
that forms, the potential damage is
essentially the same: (1) pain, spasm, or
colic from peristalsis movements of the
ureter contracting on the stone; (2)
obstruction with the possible
hydronephrosis or hydroureter; (3) tissue
trauma with secondary hemorrhage; and
(4) infection
m Anyone may develop a kidney stone, but
people with certain diseases and
conditions or those who are taking certain
medications are more susceptible to their
development. Most urinary stones develop
in people 20-49 years of age, and those
who are prone to multiple attacks of kidney
stones usually develop their first stones
during the second or third decade of life. A
small number of pregnant women develop
kidney stones, and there is some evidence
that pregnancy-related changes may
increase the risk of stone formation.
m Factors that may contribute to stone
formation during pregnancy include a
slowing of the passage of urine due to
increased progesterone levels and
diminished fluid intake due to a decreasing
bladder capacity from the enlarging uterus.
Healthy pregnant women also have a mild
increase in their urinary calcium excretion.
m ric acid kidney stones are more
common in people with chronically
elevated uric acid levels in their blood. A
small number of pregnant women
develop kidney stones, and there is
some evidence that pregnancy-related
changes may increase the risk of stone
formation. Factors that may contribute to
stone formation during pregnancy
include a slowing of the passage of urine
due to increased progesterone levels
and diminished fluid intake due to a
decreasing bladder capacity from the
enlarging uterus. Healthy pregnant
women also have a mild increase in their
urinary calcium excretion.
m There are some kidney stones may not
produce symptoms (known as "silent"
stones), people who have kidney stones
often report the sudden onset of
excruciating, cramping pain in their low back
and/or side, groin, or abdomen. Changes in
body position do not relieve this pain. The
abdominal, groin, and/or back pain typically
waxes and wanes in severity, characteristic
of colicky pain (the pain is sometimes
referred to as renal colic).
m It may be so severe that it is often
accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
Kidney stones also characteristically cause
blood in the urine. If infection is present in
the urinary tract along with the stones, there
may be fever and chills. ometimes,
symptoms such as difficulty urinating, urinary
urgency, penile pain, or testicular pain may
occur due to kidney stones.
