Study Notes
Urinary System Notes
- Kidney Infections: Ascending bacterial infections are common, particularly E. coli in women. Symptoms include painful, enlarged kidneys, costovertebral angle tenderness, and symptoms of a urinary tract infection (fever, pain, increased frequency/urgency).
- Renal Calculi: Kidney stones. Increasing fluid intake can aid in their passage. Medications (alpha-adrenergic blockers) can also be used. Diagnosis through imaging (US, CT) to determine location of stones.
-
Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the glomerulus in the kidney; can be caused by strep infection, hypersensitivity reactions, or hypertension. Symptoms include edema, hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria, RBC casts. Types are Nephritic and Nephrotic, with distinct onset patterns and lab findings.
- Acute glomerulonephritis: Characterized by abrupt onset, increased blood pressure, proteinuria, and hematuria.
- Nephrotic syndrome: Insidious onset, normal blood pressure, proteinuria, and hypoalbuminemia.
- Chronic Kidney Disease: A progressive condition that can develop due to various factors. Symptoms range from mild discomfort to acute symptoms like kidney stones, etc. May require treatment such as dialysis or kidney transplantation.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Infections affecting the urinary tract (kidneys, bladder, urethra). Symptoms include frequent and painful urination with urgency and in males, painful ejaculation. Common causes include bacteria (e.g., E. coli). Diagnosis primarily based on symptoms and urine analysis.
- Urethritis: Inflammation of the urethra; often sexually transmitted (e.g., gonorrhea, chlamydia, or other STIs). May involve discharge and painful/frequent urination.
- Urinary System Malignancies: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common. Other cancers can involve the bladder and ureters. Symptoms can range from abdominal pain to visible blood in the urine. Diagnosis may include imaging like CT scan or cystoscopy, with biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
- Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Prognosis: RCC, if caught early, can be treated by surgical tumor removal. Other factors like location, staging, and potential metastasis influence the outlook, impacting its effectiveness over a long period. Potential for chemotherapy/radiation.
