- Pyelonephritis can occur acutely or chronically and is caused by common bacteria.
- Glomerulonephritis is an inflammatory disorder caused by infectious conditions and is twice as common in males.
- Chronic glomerulonephritis is a slow, progressive disease that can lead to renal failure.
- Polycystic renal disease is an inherited disorder that causes the formation of multiple bilateral kidney cysts.
- Kidney and ureteral stones can be caused by various factors and can result in severe flank pain.
- Ureteral strictures can be caused by chronic ureteral stone formation.
- Renal tumors are almost always cancerous.
- Renal failure can be acute or chronic and can result in various symptoms and complications.
- Kidney transplantation can be an option for those with end-stage renal disease.
- Preventive measures, hemodialysis, and diet modifications are among the medical management options for renal disorders.
- There are different methods of dialysis, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
- Arteriovenous fistula and arteriovenous graft are vascular access methods for hemodialysis.
- Nursing management of dialysis includes preparing for vascular access and monitoring for complications.
- Disequilibrium syndrome is a potential complication of dialysis.
- Nursing management of dialysis involves inspecting the skin over the fistula or graft for signs of infection.
- The nurse should palpate for a thrill or listen for a bruit over the vascular access.
