NSG 530 Exam 3 Questions with Correct Answers
Pyelonephritis
inflammation of the renal pelvis and the kidney
Chronic Pyelonephritis
Interstitial fibrosis and atrophy of tubules due to multiple bouts of acute pyelonephritis
Can be associated with chronic UTI's, vesicoureteral reflux, or kidney stones
Cystitis
Inflammation of the bladder
Common pathogens are E. Coli and staphylococcus saphrophyticus
Symptoms of cystitis
Frequency, urgency, dysuria, lower back pain
Renal cell carcinoma
cancerous tumor that arises from kidney tubule cells
Renal adenoma
small, slow-growing glandular noncancerous tumor of the kidney
Renal transitional cell carcinoma
rare and primarily arises in the renal parenchyma and renal pelvis.
Transitional cell carcinoma
a malignant tumor of the urinary tract that is often found within the urinary bladder or within
the renal pelvis. Generally occurs in older men. Gross painless hematuria
, Gomerulonephritis
inflammation of the glomeruli within the kidney
Primary glomerulonephritis
inflammation of the glomeruli of the kidneys that occurs independently of other chronic
conditions; usually the result of an acute infectious process
secondary glomerulonephritis
inflammation of the glomeruli of the kidneys that results from other chronic conditions, such
as lupus erythematosus or diabetes.
Symptoms of glomerulonephritis
Hematuria with red blood cell casts, proteinuria with albumin, oliguria, HTN, edema,
nephrotic sediment
Types of glomerulonephritis
- membranous nephropathy/ glomerulonephritis
- rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis
-Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease (goodpasture syndrome)
- chronic glomerulonephritis
-diabetic neuropathy
Nephrotic syndrome
loss of large amounts of plasma protein, usually albumin, through urine due to an increased
permeability of the glomerular membrane
Causes of nephrotic syndrome
