Question
Answer
The single most important host factor influencing the occurrence of UTI is   urinary stasis  
🗑
Clinical manifestations of UTI in neonate(birth to 1 month)   poor feeding, V, incr resp(acidosis), frequent urination, screaming on urination, jaundice, seizures, dehydration

Clinical manifestations of UTI in infant   excessive thirst, foul-smelling urine, pallor, fever, persistent diaper rash  
🗑
Clinical manifestations of UTI in childhood   growth failure, enuresis, incontinence, swlling of face, fatigue, blood in urine, abd/back pain, edema, htn, tetany  
🗑
Infants and young child may show no s/s of UTI except fever, V, decr appetitie/activity, fatigue, but with infant what do you want to rule out?   UTI, pneumonia and meningitis  
🗑
what is normal newborn urine production amt? child?   Inf: approx 1-2ml/kg/h child: 1ml/kg/h  
🗑
Define UTI   irritation of the lining of the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys  
🗑
an upper tract involves? lower?   upper: renal parenchyma, pelvis, ureters and cause fever, chills, flank pain low: bladder and urethra causes no s/s  
🗑
vesicoureteral reflux refers to what? More likely associated with recurring what infections?   abnormal regtrograde flow of bladder urine into ureters. Kidney infections(pyelonephritis) rather than bladder infections  
🗑
What is difference in complicated and uncomplicated UTI   comp: stones, obstruction, catheters, DM, recurrent inf uncomp: occurs in otherwise normal urinary tract  
🗑
4 types of UTIs   recurrent persisten febrile: indicates pyelonephritis urosepsis: uremia(urine in blood), bacterial  
🗑
If young child/inf come in with fever, what is standard with each assessment   Urine sample from suprapubic aspiration of urine or sterile catheterization  
🗑
Ways to avoid UTI   hygiene: front to back wiping cotton panties check for pinworms/vaginitis avoid holding empty bladder avoid straining during defecation encourage fluid intake  
🗑
What is a hydrocele? tx?   fluid in scrotum tx: surgical repair  
🗑
inguinal hernia? tx?   protrusion of abd contents into scrotum tx: surgical  
🗑
phimosis? tx?   narrowing/stenosis of preputial opening of foreskin tx: retract skin/circumcision  
🗑
hypospadias? tx?   urethral opening located behind glans penis or anywhere along ventral surface of penile shaft tx: sugery  
🗑
Chordee? tx?   ventral curvature of penis from hypospadias tx: surgical release of fibrous band  
🗑
epispadias? tx?   meatal opening located on dorsal surface of penis tx: surgical  
🗑
cryptorchidism? tx?   testes fail to descend tx: surgical, GH for older child  
🗑
exstrophy of bladder? tx?   eversion of bladder thru ant bladder wall, severe defect  
🗑
ambiguous genitalia?   masculinized female incomplete male true hermaphrodite mixed  
🗑
A urine dipstick ids presence of   nitrites, WBCs, leukocyte esterase  
🗑
What is preferred dx study to obtain urine?   clean catch  
🗑
IVP or Abd Ct is good for spotting what   suspected obstruction and reflux  
🗑
Antibiotics for UTI? pain relievers?   bactrim(TMP-SMX), amoxicillin, cephalexin pyridium:numbs nerves, turns pee orange urised: turns pee blue  
🗑
describe nephrotic syndrome   massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, edema  
🗑
hypovolemia can occur as the fluid moves out of the vascular stimulates what system   renin-angiotensin system and secretion of ADH and aldosteroneq  
🗑
Nephrotic syndrome is manifested with these s/s in a child   wt gain, tight fitting clothes, decr urine output, pallor, fatigue, puffy face, ascites, swelling  
🗑
most common type of nephrotic is? other two types?   MCNS: Minimal change nephrotic syndrome congenitaland secondary  
🗑
Nephrotic syndrome tx? Nsg intv?   steroids to decr immune reaction(2mg BID of Prednisone) Cytoxan(immunosuppressant therapy) diuretics: to compensate abx Nsg: avoid incontinent episodes, hydrate(dilutes, flushes), follow up UA  
🗑
Nephrotic syndrome diet   low to mod protein Na restriction with lg edema no K restriction  
🗑
Define Acute Glomerulonephritis   type of kidney disease with inflammed glomeruli and impair kidney's ability to filter urine.  
🗑
Acute glomerulonephritis usually stems from   strep infection, but can also be pneumoccocal or viral. poststreptococcal: one wk after inf as a reaction from antibody from having strep  
🗑
s/s of acute glomerulonephritis   oliguria, edema(periorbital and spreads to abd and extremities), htn, hematuria(tea colored), proteinuria  
🗑
severe glomerulonephritis can raise what electrolyte   potassium  
🗑
In children what usually causes acute kidney failure?   dehydration  
🗑
Most frequent cause of acute kidney failure from 6mos-5y, in the summer?   hemolytic-uremic syndrome  
🗑
what is causative agent? s/s?   ecoli from contaminated food or water in swimming s/s: abd pain, bloody/watery D, V, oliguria/anuria, petechiae, HTN, seizures, coma  
🗑
In hemolytic-uremic syndrome, the arterioles are clogged how?   toxins destroy RBCs, so low filtration to cause kidney failure. Also spleen destroys RBCs so anemia is common  
🗑
In dx of hemolytic-uremic syndrome, what is the triad to be seen? What lab levels will be elevated?   anemia, thrombocytopenia, renal failure BUN & creatinine with a low H&H  
🗑
Best tx for hemolytic-uremic syndrome?   tx: hemodialysis/peritoneal  
🗑
Describe ARF(acute renal failure), CRF(chronic), ESRD(end stage renal disease)   acute: kidney suddenly stops filtering waste from blood chronic: dev slowly w/ few s/s esrd: failure  
🗑
What is principle feature of ARF? what is azotemia? Most transcient cause?   oliguria, azotemia, metabolic acidosis, electrolyte disturbance azo: waste build up of nitrogenous waste in blood cause: severe dehydration  
🗑
What is best test to determine chronic renal failure?   creatinine level test adn is often first sign of kidney failure occurring even before pt feels sick.  
🗑
what is most immediate threat of ARF in child?   hyperkalemia, restrict K from food or give Kaexylate, peritoneal dialysis/hemo  
🗑
With chronic renal failure, diet is best way to reduce quantity of materials that need to be excreted, what is goal?   sufficient in calories/protein while not over taxing kidney excretory demans, minimize metabolic bone disease, minimize electrolyte/fluid disturbs  
🗑
When evidence of edema and HTN waht is restricted from diet as well   h2o and na and phosphorus, not K and metabolic acidosis is alleviated with Na bicarb  
🗑
what is preferred dialysis for children?   peritoneal dialysis  
🗑
What are concerns in transplantation as far as complication? hurdle? avoid what meds?   encephalopathy is big issue and if adult kidney used, then size can be hurdle in newborn, no aluminum containing meds  
🗑
what happens in proximal tubule? loop of henle? distal? collecting ducts?   prox: reabsorb Na majority Loop: concentrate urine, water reabsorption(desc), Na reabsorbed(ascend) distal: secrete K,urea,H,ammonia coll: reabsorb h2o(adh req.), final concentration  
🗑
