Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Hint
Answer
autoregulation of kidneys   afferent arteriolar constriction  
🗑
neural regulation of kidneys   autonomic (SNS)  
🗑
hormonal regulation of kidneys   renin-angiotension system  
🗑
secreted by the kidneys to synthesize RBCs   eyrthropoetin  
🗑
functions of the nephron   1) filter plasma at glomerulus 2) reabsorb and secrete dofferent substances along renal tubule 3) form filtrate of protein-free plasma 4) regulate the filtrate to maintain body fluid volume, lytes, and pH  
🗑
lab tests of kidney function   electrolytes and pH  
🗑
UTI   infection anywhere in the urinary system  
🗑
types of UTIs   bacterial, viral, fungal  
🗑
bladder UTI   cystitis  
🗑
sx of UTI   dysuria, frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, WBCs in UA, fever, hematuria  
🗑
pyelonephritis   UTI of entire renal pelvis  
🗑
sx of pyelonephritis   fever, chills, flank pain, dysuria  
🗑
common cause of UTIs in males   BPH obstruction  
🗑
risk factors for UTIs   women, DM (decreased immune & high glucose), frequeny catheters, elderly, occupation where urine must be held, pregnancy, improper hygeine  
🗑
Dx of UTI   UA; C&S, WBCs, history, s/s  
🗑
Tx of UTIs   antibiotics, bladder analgesics, eliminate cause  
🗑
teaching points for antibiotics   increased risk for yeast infections, N/V, must take whole bottle  
🗑
prevention of UTIs   encourage fluids (esp. cranberry juice), proper hygeine, avoid frequent bubble baths, urination after intercourse, don't "hold" urine, Vit C  
🗑
irritant to UTI   caffeine  
🗑
pyelonephritis   inflammation of the renal pelvis and parenchyma; caused by bacterial infection  
🗑
types of bacterial infection   active, remenants of previous infection  
🗑
2 types of pyelonephritis   acute-bacterial contamination and chronic- chronic obstruction  
🗑
common causes of bacterial(acute) pyelonephritis   ppl who didn't finish out previous antobiotics; superbugs; urine reflux  
🗑
causes of pyelonephritis   d/t caliculi, trauma, malignancy, or most commonly extension of bladder infection via the ascending urethra  
🗑
ureteral reflux   obstruction allows infected UA back into ureter and allows organism to multiply  
🗑
pathophysiology of pyelonephritis   bacteria in renal pelvis intiates infalmmatory response; with resolution inflammation recedes and scarring may develop  
🗑
result of scar tissue formation on kidneys   increased work load for other nephrons  
🗑
time period of acute pyelonephritis   brief; usu recurs 2 weeks after completion of therapy  
🗑
s/s of acute pyelonephritis   enlarged kidneys, focal abscess, accumulation of lymphocytes in renal tubules, appearance of acute distress, fever/chills, CVAT, radiating pain from back to pelvis floor  
🗑
s/s of cystitis   urine cloudy/bloody & malodorous, increased WBC  
🗑
test for cystits/pyelonephritis   UA C&S, KUB, IVP, CT  
🗑
sx of chronic pyelonephritis   no specific, HTN, abnormal azotemia, pyuria, anemia, acidosis, proteinuria  
🗑
detection of chronic pyelonephritis   usu incidentally during other exams/ follow up for HTN  
🗑
common cause of pyelonephritis   blockage  
🗑
medical tx of pyelonephritis   antibiotics (10 days to 2weeks), relieve pain, prevention of further recurrence/renal damage  
🗑
Glomerularnephritis   disease of glomerulus caused by an immune response, toxins or drugs, vascular disorders, and other systemic diseases  
🗑
injury caused by glomerularnephritis   proliferation of glomerular capillary endothelial cells and rapid loss of renal function leading to nephrotic syndrome  
🗑
acute glomerularnephritis   r/t deposition of antibody/ antigen complexes in glomerular capillaries  
🗑
chronic glomerularnephritis   long-term inflammation of glomeruli, often treated by dialysis  
🗑
Nephrotic syndrome   set of clinical manifestations caused by protein wasting secondary to diffuse glomerular damage  
🗑
manifestations of nephrotic syndrome   proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, anasarca, retention of sodium and water, hyperlipidemia, anemia, hematuria  
🗑
causes of nephroctic syndrome   glomerularnephritis, DM, lupus, HepB, carcinoma, preeclampsia, allergic reaction, sickle cell, HF  
🗑
complications of nephrotic syndrome   edema, renal failure, hypovolemia, thromboembolism, abnormal thyroid function, increased susceptibility to infection  
🗑
manifestations of nephrotic syndrome   hematuria, fever/chills, edema, HTN, abd/flank pain, anemia, mental confusion, proteinuria, N/V, anorexia, oliguria, HA, irritabilty, malaise may progess to resp and cardiac sx  
🗑
onset of nephroctic syndrome   insidious or sudden  
🗑
dx of nephrotic syndrome   UA, labs, periorbital edema, anasarca, HTN, history, renal biopsy  
🗑
medical mngmt of nephrotic syndrome   antibiotics, fluids/electrolytes, steriods, anticoagulants, diuretics, restricted diet, ACEs, plasmaphoresis, strict control of pre-existing conditions  
🗑
nursing mngmt of nephrotic syndrome   H&P, UA &labs, teaching (risk for infection), support  
🗑
