Study Notes
Renal Disorders (UNIT X Handout)
- Renal disorders encompass diseases affecting the kidneys, impacting their filtration, fluid balance, electrolyte regulation, and blood pressure control.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- Definition: Bacterial infections of the urinary system (kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra).
-
Types:
- Lower UTIs: Bladder and urethra infections.
- Upper UTIs: Kidney infections (pyelonephritis), more severe.
- Common Causes: Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus species.
-
Symptoms:
- Dysuria: Painful urination.
- Frequent urination/urgency.
- Hematuria: Blood in urine.
- Fever/chills (often with upper UTIs).
- Flank pain (indicates kidney involvement).
-
Management:
- Antibiotics (based on urine culture).
- Increased fluid intake.
- Pain relief medications.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
- Definition: Sudden loss of kidney function.
-
Types:
- Pre-renal AKI: Reduced blood flow (e.g., dehydration, heart failure).
- Intra-renal AKI: Direct kidney damage (e.g., toxins, infections, drugs).
- Post-renal AKI: Urinary obstructions (e.g., stones, enlarged prostate).
-
Symptoms:
- Low urine output (oliguria).
- Fluid retention (swelling).
- High creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels.
-
Management:
- Address the underlying cause (e.g., rehydrate, remove obstruction).
- Fluid management (IV fluids).
- Dialysis (in severe cases).
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Definition: Progressive, irreversible loss of kidney function over time.
- Stages: Graded based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Stage 5 is end-stage renal disease, requiring dialysis or transplant.
-
General Management focuses on:
- Blood pressure control.
- Anemia management.
- Dialysis or transplant for ESRD.
