GFR (glomerular filtration rate) a blood test that measures how well the kidneys are
working by estimating how much blood passes through
the kidneys' glomeruli each minute
Proteinuria the presence of an abnormal amount of protein in the
urine
,Creatinine and BUN BUN-to-creatinine ratio is a medical measurement that
compares the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and
creatinine in a patient's blood. It's calculated by
dividing the BUN number by the creatinine number. A
normal ratio is between 10:1 and 20:1
Pyelonephritis --Patho/phys: One or both kidneys may be involved. The infection
extends from the ureter into the kidney, involving the
renal pelvis and medullary tissue (tubules and
interstitial tissue). Purulent exudate fills the kidney
pelvis and calyces, and the medulla is inflamed.
Abscesses and necrosis can be seen in the medulla
and may extend through the cortex to the surface of
the capsule. If the infection is severe, the exudate can
compress the renal artery and vein and obstruct urine
flow to the ureter.
,Pyelonephritis symptoms 1) urinary frequency
2) urgency
3) burning
4) dysuria in the same way as cystitis
5) flank pain and tenderness.
**Pyelonephritis is also a more severe disease, so there
is a higher fever and the patient is much more ill.
, Pyelonephritis treatment UTIs are treated promptly with antibacterial drugs such
as:
• Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Cotrim,
Septra)
• Nitrofurantoin (Furadantin)
• Cephalosporins (Keflex, Duricef)
• Carbapenems (Doribax)
• Amoxicillin
• Fosfomycin (which is prescribed for pregnant women)
UTI E. coli, Staphylococcus saprophyticus (young women)
Tx: Bactrim, Ciprofloxacin
Renal Colic an acute pain in the kidney area that is caused by
blockage during the passing of a kidney stone
