Peds. Urinary Probs
Common Pediatric Urinary Problems
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Repeated voiding of urine into clothes or bed at least twice a week for at least 3 consecutive months in a child who is at least 5 yr of age ? | * Enuresis |
| Enuresis at night and during the day ? | * Nocturnal ....... * Diurnal |
| Enuresis occurs in a child who has NEVER achieved consistent night time dryness ? | * Primary |
| Enuresis occurs in a child who has been consistently dry for at least 6 months and then has resumption of wetting ? | * Secondary...commonly associated with an underlying trauma/issue |
| Enuresis with no associated daytime or night time symptoms ? | * Monosymptomatic |
| Enuresis that has at least one associated daytime symptom, no matter how subtle ? | * Nonmonosymptomatic |
| Prevalence of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis decreases with age ? | * the percentage seems to decrease by 15% each year |
| Common causes of incontinence ? | * Under/over active bladder or other neurologic issues -- Anatomic anomalies -- Giggle incontinence or vaginal voiding |
| Etiology of Enuresis ? | * lower spinal cord controls it at birth (why boys pee when diaper is off) .... * Control is made when we can contract the detrusor muscle and activate sphincter to void |
| Some possible causes of Enuresis ? | * possibly a smaller bladder ..... * ADH issue ... * Will of the kid to stop it |
| Some things to have on a Differential Dx for Enuresis ? | * Obstructive Sleep Apnea.... * Neuro issues.... * Genito-Urinary issues with anomalies/kidneys issues...... * Parasitic Infection....* Sickle Cell ...... *HyperThy, DM, DI.... * Somatization or Stress |
| Associated Symptoms ? | * weight loss, fever, failure to thrive... * snoring, apnea..... * constipation... * possible seizures |
| Important when looking at urinary issues ? | * ask questions on stool habits |
| Family Hx ? | * If one parent had enuresis, the kid can have it also ... *If both had it, there is even a higher chance... * Seizure and DM/DI Hx also |
| Social Hx ? | * Look for clues that have caused stress or even sexual abuse (wetting can be the only sign of sexual abuse).... * Ask about physical punishment |
| PE ? | * most will have a NORMAL exam ... * ALWAYS look at Gentials and neuro issues.... * Chapman’s point in the periumbilical region (bladder) ..... * T11-L2 dysfunction (bladder) |
| Laboratory Investigation ? | * Only need a UA |
| Imaging ? | * no image really needed ... * Xray for constipation, MRI if spine defect, CT for Brain/Neuro issues |
| When to treat ? | * the best is when the parents are involved and the kid sees it as a problem and is motivated to make it stop |
| What to do if the Non-pharm approach to fix Enuresis doesn't work ? | * usu try if 3 -6 months of non-pharm tmt isn't working.... * If the kid isn't bothered by the wetting, then NO tmt will really work.... * Meds = desmopression (DDAVP) followed by tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) |
| ** UTI's in Kids to Follow ** | . |
| UTIs in kids 24months and younger ? | * they really can't complain, so anyone of them with a FEVER should be worked up for a UTI |
| Some pediatric Pathophysiology on UTIs ? | * improper voiding or holing can increase bacteria content in bladder ...... * Reflux, usu due to inflammation, that allows urine to retrograde and can cause kidney issues.... * If no reflux, bacteria usu only invade the bladder |
| Hematogenous Route UTI route ? | * Neonates with bacteremia and children with endocarditis are the most likely population to acquire pyelonephritis in this fashion |
| Usu. UTI causative agent ? | * E. Coli in retrograde... * Staph and E.Coli in hematogenous spread |
| 3 Components of a UTI ? | * Cystitis --- Asymptomatic bacteriuria --- Pyelonephritis |
| Cystitis basics ? | * Bladder Inflammation.... * look for bubble bath HX or parents saying the kids always "touch" themselves..... * Also, FEVER is the predominant feature in kids under 2... * once again, LOOK AT THE GENITALS ! ...* suprapubic pain is us present too |
| Special Note on Teenagers ? | * If sexually active, ask about sex toys, spermicide use, sexual Hx, and always screen for STDs |
| Asymptomatic Bacteriuria basics ? | * Presence of bacteria on a UA but no white cells (pyuria) is appreciated ..... * child has no CxSx.... * No tmt needed if no complications are seen |
| Pyelonephritis basics ? | * Most serious Infection of the UTI spectrum! .... * Upper Tract UTI --> Bacterial infection of the tubules, interstitum, and renal pelvis..... * |
| Pyelonephritis CxSx ? | * Older pts: may be short stature, abdominal pain, HTN, dysuria, chills .... * Younger: F/V, poor feeding, and abdominal pain...... * Can cause Renal Abscesses and Renal Scarring |
| Some UTI risk factors ? | * catheters, not circumcised, sexual HX, Fam Hx |
| Vesicoureteral Reflux imaging ? | * only do it if we get an abnormal ultrsound or a second febrile UTI...* use VCUG (voiding cystourethrogram) ..... * Can cause End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in kids |
| Some Anatomic Obstructions that can cause UTIs in kids ? | * Why a visual genital exam is important ! ..... * Labial Adhesions, penile scarring ,webbed penis, prepuce issues, and unusual meatus opening/course |
| Circumcision basics ? | * Helps prevent penile cancer, UTIs, and transmission of STDs |
| Posterior urethral valves ? | * Seen in males .... * Persistent urogenital membrane that impedes urine flow from the bladder.....* usu see when baby is in septic shock and has a low urine stream....... * Dx: with VCUG |
| Neurogenic Bladder and Associated Disorders ? | * occurs when innervation to the bladder is distorted....* often with myelomeningocele and cerebral palsy patients ....* need a catheter to void |
| Neurogenic bladder TmT = ? | * treat infection if there, give oxybutinin to relax muscles to avoid void frequency, and catheter placement to void |
| Dysfunctional Voiding ? | * Willful holding urine, having an abnormal elimination pattern, and/or incontinence .....* Leaves bacteria in the bladder to grow and cause issues |
| Diagnosis - Laboratory UTI ? | * Diagnosis of UTI must be a URINE CULTURE that grows at least 50,000 colonies.... * UA is a good start, but may need other tests to see whats going on |
| Dx UTI Imaging ? | * Us if pt is not getting better, and VCUG if a recurrent issue/febrile kid |
| UTI TmT = ? | * start antimicrobials if UTI is suspected and wait for a culture.... * if unsure/ low suspicion , get a culture first..... * severe and babies under 2 mths need IV meds.... * upon culture return, get appropriate meds |
| Renal and bladder ultrasound ? | * needed for any child 2months to 2 years following their first febrile UTI |
