UTIs result from the presence ofmicroorganisms in the urine (not relatedto contamination) that has the potentialto invade the urinary tract and adjacenttissues
One of the most common bacterialinfections (~ 8 million patient visits/year)
Localized vs. systematic Prevalence:
Women> men while young
Women= men at age of 65

Lower Tract infection in lower portion of
UT. Can include bladder (cystitis), urethra
(urethritis), prostate gland (prostatitis),and epididymitis.
Upper Tract infection in upper portionof UT. Can include kidneys
(pyelonephritis) and ureters.

Anatomy and associated infections of the urinary tract
8/8/2019 18966790 Urinary Tract Infections and Is

Uncomplicated:
Infection present in individuals with normal
UTI anatomy and no alterations in urine flowor voiding mechanisms.
Complicated:Infection resulting from predisposing lesion suchas congenital abnormalities, distortion of UT,stone, indwelling catheter, prostatic hypertrophyand neurogenic deficits. Affect both genderssimilarly, and can involve the upper and lowerUT. Men UTIs are considered complicated.
