What are some disorders of the
urinary
system?
How are disorders of the urinary
system
treated?
How do you relate the body’s
hormone
control to the urinary system?
4.02 Understand the disorders of the urinary system

DISORDERS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM
3
CYSTITIS What is cystitis cyst= medical term for ____ + itis =___ Inflammation of the mucous membrane
lining of the urinary bladder Most common cause is the bacteria E. Coli, which is normally found in the rectum.
Yikes!! How’d that happen?
MORE ON CYSTITIS... Another cause might be from
urethritis or inflammation of the urethra, which usually leads to painful urination (dysuria) and/or frequent urination (polyuria)
Occurs more often in females; due to short urethra of 1.25 – 2 inches long
The short urethra provides easy entry for organisms from outside the body
Treatment includes antibiotics, urinary antiseptics and increased intake of fluids.
Additional preventative measures require teaching the patient the proper technique for wiping after urination
Also prevention includes reminding the patient to complete all the antibiotics to avoid reinfection.

An inflammation of the glomerulus
(glo mer u lus) of the nephron
Two types:Acute – the inflammation is due to a bacterial infection
Chronic – diminished function of the kidney due to damage to the filtration membrane
GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
ACUTE
bacteria
Symptoms
(albuminuria)
Occurs in some children abt 1 – 3 weeks after a bacterial infection, usually a strep throat. Develops quickly.
Treated with antibiotics with recovery.
8
CHRONIC GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
The chronic form may develop silently (without symptoms) over several years.
Occurs when the filtration membrane becomes permanently damaged.
Early signs and symptoms of the chronic form may include: - Blood or protein in the urine (hematuria, proteinuria) - High blood pressure - Swelling of your ankles or face (edema) - Frequent nighttime urination - Very bubbly or foamy urine - Diminished functioning of the kidneys - It often leads to complete kidney failure.
9
RENAL CALCULI Also known as nephrolithiasis (nephro lith iasis) aka kidney stones Accumulation of crystals of calcium phosphate, along with uric acid and other substances that clump together Slowly grow in size Fill renal pelvis, obstruct urine flow in the ureters Symptoms include extreme pain, occurs suddenly in the area of kidney and move to groin area May have nausea/vomiting, burning, frequent urge to void, chills, fever, weakness, maybe hematuria Diagnosis by symptoms, ultrasound, x-rays Treatment includes increase of fluids to flush out, meds to dissolve the stone If not resolved a urethroscope or lithotripsy may be done
10
RENAL CALCULI
What will happen if the ureters are blocked?
Hydronephrosis – the distention of the renal pelvis and calyces due to the accumulation of fluid
11
aka ESWL extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy Uses shockwaves created outside the body to travel thru skin
and body tissue until it hits the stones causing them to break up They can then pass out thru the urine flow Is it a cure? No, may need to be done repeatedly.
LITHOTRIPSY
Dimension du calcul : - Longueur : 11cm (length)- Largeur : 9cm (width)- Epaisseur : 8cm (thickness)- Poids : 2Kg (weight) 1 kilogram is equal to 2.20462262185 lb
Acute or Chronic
RENAL FAILURE
17
RENAL FAILURE
Acute May be sudden onset Cause varies: nephritis, shock,
injury, bleeding, sudden heart failure, or poisoning
Symptoms include: oliguria, anuria and uremia
Uremia symptoms: h/a, dyspnea, n/v, extreme cases – coma and death
18
RENAL FAILURE
Chronic Gradual loss of nephron function There may not be any symptoms for a long
while Can take months to years to occur It may be so slow that by the time
symptoms appear and are detected less than 1/10th of kidney function is happening
Final stage called End-Stage Renal Disease or ERSD
19
RENAL FAILURE
Renal Failure Chronic kidney
disease leads to a buildup of fluid and waste products in the body.
How are these systems affected by renal failure?
RENAL FAILURE – SYSTEM SYMPTOMS Nervous System - drowsy, confused - issues concentrating or thinking - numbness hands, feet, other
areas - muscle twitching or cramps Respiratory System - shortness of breath Digestive System - weight loss without trying - frequent hiccups - nausea - breath odor - excessive thirst - blood in stool - vomiting, typically in the morning
Urinary System - build up of fluid and waste - inability to urinate - urinalysis may reveal
proteinuria Integumentary System - itching (pruritus) - dry skin - abnormally dark or light skin - easy bruising - easy bleeding - edema (swelling) feet and
hands
DIAGNOSIS
Urinalysis Creatinine
clearance Creatinine levels BUN
Changes seen in the following: - albumin - calcium - cholesterol - CBC - electrolytes - magnesium - phosphorus - potassium - sodiumAND MORE…..
22
RENAL FAILURE
Treatment option: P e r i t o n e a l d i a l y s i s Serves as a substitute kidney Uses the patient’s own peritoneal
lining to filter the blood Dialysate placed in abdomen via
catheter Fluid, wastes, electrolytes and
chemicals pass from capillaries in the peritoneal membrane into the dialysate
After several hours drained from abdomen taking waste from blood out
Process takes about 30 minutes and done about 4 times a day
23
RENAL FAILURE Treatment option:
Hemodialys is Serves as a substitute
kidney Involves passage of blood
thru a device that removes harmful wastes, extra salt and water
Usually done 2 to 3 times a week for 2 to 4 hours
Patients are asked to eat a special diet and take prescribed meds
24
RENAL FAILURE
Compare the treatment of acute and chronic renal failure.
25
HEMODIALYSIS
How does hemodialysis mimic glomerular function?
26
RENAL TRANSPLANT What is involved in this
treatment option? - done in cases of prolonged chronic debilitating disease with renal failure of BOTH kidneys - typical patient has been on dialysis for a long period of time waiting for
a compatible organ
Two types of transplants: - donor from a living donor (a matching family member, usually) - donor of unrelated person who has
died - blood and other cellular material must match from donor to recipient
27
RENAL TRANSPLANT
What is the major complication of renal transplantation?
REJECTION… Medication must be taken everyday to prevent
rejection The maintenance agents are generally 4 classes of
drugs called immunosuppressants: - Calcineurin Inhibitors: Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine - Antiproliferative agents: Mycophenolate Mofetil, Mycophenolate Sodium and Azathioprine - mTOR inhibitor: Sirolimus - Steroids: Prednisone
