Gastro-Urinary Pathophysiology
Enuresis - Definition, Types - ANS-Repeated inability to control urination; stress, urge and
overflow
Urinary Tract Infection - Types - ANS-Pyelonephritis (kidney)
Cystitis (bladder)
Prostatitis (prostate)
Urethritis (urethra)
Most common UTI bacteria - ANS-E. coli (90%)
Nephrotic Syndrome - Symptoms (PHHP-FEW) - ANS-Proteinuria
Hypoalbuminemia
Hyperlipidemia
Peripheral edema
Foamy urine
Exhaustion/lethargy
Weight gain
Glomerulonephritis - Description - ANS-Inflammation of the glomeruli that can be acute or
chronic, causing edema, hematuria/proteinuria, oliguria, bubbly/foamy urine, hypertension
Renal Calculi - Types - ANS-Pelvic (in pelvis)
Calyx (in the ducts)
Staghorn (in shape of tree, ducts to pelvis)
Mid-Ureteral (in ureters)
Bladder (in bladder)
Chronic Renal Failure - Causes - ANS-Diabetes (44%)
Hypertension (27%)
Glomerulonephritis (7.5%)
Other (17.5%)
Diabetic Nephropathy - ANS-Accumulation of damage to the glomerulus capillaries due to the
chronic high blood sugars of diabetes mellitus
Renal Dialysis Types - ANS-CAPD
Hemodialysis
Chronic Kidney Disease - Stage 1 - ANS-90-100% function, GFR 90+
Kidney damage, normal function
