Urinary tract infections occur in an ascending route up the urinary tract system.
3/20/2012
Upper urinary tract infectionsPyelonephritis - an inflammation of the renal pelvis and the parenchyma of the kidney.
3/20/2012
Acute pyelonephritis often occurs after bacterial contamination of the urethra or following an invasive procedure of the urinary tract
3/20/2012
Chronic pyelonephritis most commonly occurs following chronic obstruction with reflux or chronic disorders
3/20/2012
B. Lower urinary tract infection. 1. Ureteritis - inflammation of the ureter that is commonly associated with pyelonephritis Chronic pyelonephritis causes the ureter to become fibrotic and narrowed by strictures
3/20/2012
3/20/2012
Causes
Stasis of urine in the bladder, and reflux of urine back into the original reservoir are the primary factors in causing UTI.
3/20/2012

b. Ureterovesical reflux--the reflux of urine from the urethra into the bladder. This causes a constant residual of urine in the bladder after voiding and precipitates UTI.
3/20/2012
11
c. Vesicoureteral reflux (ureterovesical reflux)-the reflux of urine from the bladder into one or both of the ureters and possibly into the renal pelvis.

UROSEPSIS
A gram-negative bacteremia originating in the urinary tract The most common responsible organism is Escherichia coli
3/20/2012
48
The most common cause is the presence of an indwelling urinary catheter or an untreated UTI in a client who is medically compromised
3/20/2012
49
The major problem is the ability of this bacterium to develop resistant strains Urosepsis can lead to septic shock if not treated aggressively

Glomerulonephritis
An inflammatory reaction in the glomerulus as a result of an antigenantibody response to the betahemolytic streptococcus. Occurs more frequently in boys, usually between ages 6-7 years Usually resolves in about 14 days, self-limiting
3/20/2012 53
The inflammation of the glomeruli results from an antigen-antibody reaction produced from an infection elsewhere in the body An immune complex is formed as a result of the antigen-antibody formation; the complex becomes trapped in the glomeruli.
3/20/2012 54
It results in proliferative and inflammatory changes within the glomerular structure As a result of the edema in the glomeruli, the GFR is significantly decreased.

3/20/2012 81
Nephrotic Syndrome
A set of clinical manifestations arising from protein wasting secondary to diffuse glomerular damage
3/20/2012
82
Primarily occurs in children and is the outcome of other renal problems in which there is proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipedemia and edema. Commonly affects preschoolers, boys more often than girls
3/20/2012
83
Changes occur in the basement membrane of the glomeruli that allows the large protein molecules to pass through the membrane and he excreted.
3/20/2012
84
The loss of the albumin from the serum decreases the oncotic pressure in the capillary bed and allows fluid to pass into the interstitial tissues and into the abdominal cavity (ascites).
3/20/2012
85
The interstitial fluid shift causes hypovolemia, the renin-angiotensin response is stimulated, aldosterone secretion is increased, and the tubules begin to conserve sodium and water to increase the circulating volume.
3/20/2012
86
In the majority of children with the syndrome, the etiology is unknown; frequently there is no evidence of renal dysfunction or systemic disease.
3/20/2012
87
Course of the disease consists of exacerbations and remissions over a period of months to years
3/20/2012
88
Pathophysiology
a. Plasma proteins enter the renal tubule and are excreted in the urine, causing proteinuria. b. Protein shift causes altered oncotic pressure and lowered plasma volume.
3/20/2012
89
c. Hypovolemia triggers release of renin and angiotensin, which stimulates increased secretion of aldosterone; aldosterone increases reabsorption of water and sodium in distal tubule.
3/20/2012
90
d. Lowered blood pressure also stimulates release of ADH, further increasing reabsorption of water; together with a general shift of plasma into interstitial spaces, results in edema.
3/20/2012
91
Risk factors/etiology
a. History of renal dysfunction or systemic disease. (1) Glomerulonephritis. (2) Systemic lupus erythematosus. (3) Congestive heart failure.

3/20/2012
106
Dietary
a. Decreased sodium intake. b. Protein intake depends on stage of disease. If there is any indication of renal failure or azotemia, then protein is restricted. There controversy regarding the benefits of decreased protein intake. c. There is usually no fluid restriction.

113
Goal: to assist parents to cope with chronic disease and teach them home care. 1. Instruct as to medical regimen. 2. Reassure parents of the course of the disease so that they do not become discouraged with the frequent relapses.
3/20/2012 114
3. Impress upon them the importance of long-term care and to obtain medical assistance when relapse occurs. 4. Social isolation is often a problem due to frequent hospitalizations or confinement (high risk of infection which could precipitate an exacerbation).
3/20/2012 115
Nephritic Syndrome
It is dominated by inflammatory damage that restricts glomerular filtration and allows erythrocytes to escape to the urine (hematuria).
3/20/2012
116
The decreased filtration causes reduced urinary output (oliguria), systemic HPN, and the accumulation of nitrogenous wastes in the blood (azotemia).

Diuretics
To decrease edema
To manage Hypertension
196
Dietary
a. Problems with the client losing body weight, both adipose tissue and muscle mass. b. Restricted protein intake, may vary from just a decrease in protein intake, to a specific 20 to 40 gm per day.
3/20/2012
197
c. Protein should be of a high biologic value, this enhances the utilization of the amino acids, and forms less nitrogen waste products. d. Water restriction-adjusted according to urinary output-if no urine output 100 cc/day.

Surgical-kidney transplant
a. Recipient criteria: candidates are evaluated on an individual basis as to how well they would benefit from the transplant. (1) Candidates are usually under 70 years old, have a life expectancy of at least two more years, and have reasonable expectations that the transplant will improve the quality of life.
3/20/2012 202
(2) Clients with uncontrolled malignancies, COPD, severe cardiac problems, severe systemic diseases are not good transplant candidates. b. Donor criteria: live related donors (LRD) provide the best possible match; when they are not available, then cadaver donors are considered.
3/20/2012 203
(1) Either type of donor must he evaluated for adequate tissue matching. (2) The cadaver donor must meet the criteria for brain death. (3) The cadaver donor should be free from all systemic diseases, and have normal renal perfusion and function.
