    Study Notes

    Urinary Conditions Overview

    • Understanding urinary conditions is essential in alignment with individual practice scope.
    • Conditions include Acute Urinary Retention (AUR), Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), Kidney Stones, Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), and Chronic Renal Failure (CKD).

    Acute Urinary Retention (AUR)

    • AUR is the acute inability to empty the bladder and is classified as a medical emergency.
    • Causes:
      • Benign prostate hyperplasia (enlargement).
      • Urethral strictures from inflammation or surgery.
      • Urinary tract stones creating blockages.
      • Nerve issues from childbirth or injuries.
      • Aging can lead to incomplete bladder emptying.
    • Signs & Symptoms:
      • Severe lower abdominal pain and inability to urinate.
      • Reduced urine flow and bladder swelling.
      • Risk of kidney damage due to urine backflow if untreated.

    Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

    • UTIs occur when bacteria infect the urinary tract, most commonly affecting women.
    • Investigation in Men: Lower incidence may indicate underlying issues like strictures or prostate problems.
    • Types:
      • Lower UTIs affect the bladder and urethra.
      • Upper UTIs involve the kidneys and ureters, posing greater risks for kidney damage.
    • Signs & Symptoms:
      • Pain during urination, lower abdominal cramping.
      • Increased urge to urinate and confusion, especially in the elderly.
      • Hematuria (blood in urine) and symptoms of potential kidney infection (fever, vomiting).

    Kidney Stones (Renal Calculi)

    • Kidney stones can form in one or both kidneys and travel down the ureters, causing stretching and discomfort.
    • Symptoms:
      • Persistent back/groin pain and episodes of intense pain (renal colic).
      • Frequent urination and possible nausea/vomiting.
      • Blood in urine, potentially leading to UTIs.

    Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

    • AKI manifests as rapid kidney dysfunction, causing a build-up of waste in the blood.
    • Causes:
      • Reduced blood flow due to low blood volume or heart issues.
      • Blockages like enlarged prostate or tumors.
    • Signs & Symptoms:
      • Less than 100ml urine excretion in 24 hours, nausea.
      • Confusion, dehydration, and abdominal/back pain.
    • Complications:
      • High potassium levels can cause serious heart rhythm issues.
      • Fluid accumulation in lungs and metabolic acidosis may occur.

    Chronic Renal Failure (Chronic Kidney Disease - CKD)

    • CKD is a long-term reduction in kidney function, more prevalent with aging.
    • Early Stages:
      • No symptoms are typically present.
    • Advanced Symptoms:
      • Tiredness, swelling in extremities, shortness of breath, hypertension.
      • Blood in urine and gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea/vomiting).
    • Causes of CKD:
      • High blood pressure, diabetes, and polycystic kidney disease among others.
    • Treatment Options:
      • Lifestyle adjustments, medications, dialysis, or kidney transplantation.
    • CKD can lead to severe complications, increasing cardiovascular disease risk despite management.
