Urinary
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| upper and lower tract consists of? | upper - ureters * kidneys; lower - bladder & urethra |
| acute glomerulonephritis causes (5) | poor appetite, blood in urine, low urine output, headache/fever/malaise, fluid overload - CHF/pulmonary edema |
| acute glomerulonephritis Dx | urine appears dark/smoky w/ blood, elevation in BUN and creatinine levels, biopsy needs of kidneys, loss of RBC & protein in urine, periorbital edema; mostly occurs in children and young adults |
| acute glomerulonephritis NI (4) | monitor bp, I&O, educate regarding bedrest, check labs |
| chronic glomerulonephritis def | slowly progressive disease characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli that causes irreversible damage to the kidney nephrons; autoimmune; 40% of ppl on diaylsis have it; kidneys shrink; nephrons loose ability to filter waste; irreversible |
| chronic glomerulonephritis s/sx (4) | facial and body edema d/t fluid retention; urine becomes pale and dilute; mental changes d/t waste in blood; anasarca (total body edema) |
| obstructive disorders (3) | urolithiasis, kidney stones, ureter stones |
| obstructive disorders s/sx (5) | N/V, flank pain, hematuria, dysuria, increase in frequency |
| at what percentage does nephrons fail? | 90% |
| CRF etiology | associated w/ intrarenal conditions or a complication of a systemic disease; kidneys are so damaged they dont remove protein by-products, electrolytes from blood and dont maintain acid-base balance |
| Renal failure s/sx of both | increase in bp d/t fluid retention, weight gain, decreased urine output, facial edema, dry mouth, pruitis, breath/body smell like urine, seizures, muscle spasms, bleeding ulcers |
| 3 categories of renal failure | pre-renal, intrarenal, post-renal |
| ARF cause | obstruction of BF to nephrons or intra-renal conditions that destroy nephrons |
| 4 phases in ARF | intiation: decrease BF; oliguric: excretion of >30cc/hr w/in 48 hrs of onset - can last 10-14 days; diuretic: if nephrons recover diuresis begins - h20 excretees but wastes & electrolytes excretion is still impaired; recovery: can take 1-2 yr if at all |
| 3 stages of CRF | reduced renal reserve: usually w/ sx * 40-75% loss; renal insuffiency: 75-90% loss; ESRD: <10% remaining fx |
| ESRD | dialysis or kidney transplant can maintain life; skin becomes excretory organ for substances the kidney usually clears from the body; a precipitate (uremic frost) forms on the skin; electrolyte imbalance occurs; osteodystrophy |
| enuresis def | involuntary voiding during sleep |
| oliguria amt | less than 400 ml/day |
| anuria amt | less than 50 ml/day |
| cystogram evaluates | abnormalities in bladder structure & filling through the instillation of contrast dye and radiography |
| uroflowmetry evaluates | bladder and sphincter function |
| cystometrogram evaluates | bladder tone and capacity |
| a patient with a neurogenic bladder may not feel the urgency to void until ____ml of urine are in the bladder. what is a neurogenic bladder? | 500ml; neurogenic is the sensation to void |
| the specific gravity of urine should be: | 1.003-1.029 |
| There should be no what in urine? (4) | ketones, protein, WBCs, glucose |
| to prevent bacterial growth or decomposition the should do what? | refrigerate urine |
| normal BUN | 7-18ml/dl |
| normal creatintine in males/females | males - .7-1.3mg/dl; females - .6-1.1mg/dl |
| pyelonephritis | bacterial infection of kidney; can be acute or chronic; if treatment is not successful, and the infection returns its classified as chronic d/t bacteria backing up in kidney |
| what is the most common form of bacteria responsible for pyelonephritis | E.Coli |
| Pyuria | combo of bacteria and leukocytes in urine |
| polycystic kidney disease | error in fetal develpoment |
| ureteral stricture | rare; caused by scar tissue to accumulate in the ureter. |
| Tumors of the kidney are almost always _______ | cancerous |
| cystostomy is also known as? | clean intermittent catherization (CIC) |
| What are the crede's maneuver and Valsalva maneuvers? | manual voiding or abnormal strain |
| Length of urthera in female and males | females - 4cm; males 8inches or 20cm |
| interstitial cystitis def | chronic inflammation of bladder mucosa |
