Study Notes
- Urolithiasis is the formation of stones in the kidney, bladder, and/or urethra. More common in males, recurrence rate is 50% at 10 years.
- Etiology includes immobility, hypercalcemia, UTIs, urine stasis, and fractures. Calculi can be made of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, or uric acid.
- Clinical manifestations vary depending on location: kidney pelvis, urter, or bladder. Symptoms include acute pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and microscopic hematuria.
- Diagnostic tests include KUB radiograph, IVP, and renal ultrasonography. Management includes monitoring fluid intake/output, prescribed pain medication, antibiotic therapy, and diet modifications.
- Treatment methods include intravenous pain medication, relaxation exercises, hot baths, high fluid intake, antiemetics, hospital admission, lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, stone dissolution, and nephrolithotomy.
- Nephrosclerosis is the hardening of the kidney and can lead to renal failure. Hypertensive retinal changes, proteinuria, and decreased urine output are clinical manifestations. Treatment includes antihypertensive drugs and lifestyle modifications.
- Polycystic kidney disease is a hereditary condition with numerous fluid-filled cysts on the kidney, causing gradual destruction of function. Manifestations include flank pain, hematuria, and proteinuria, leading to end-stage renal disease and requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation.
- Hydronephrosis is the abnormal dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces due to congenital urethral obstruction, cancer, or other causes. It shows evidence of hyperactivity and hypertrophy before dilatation and atony. Symptoms are acute (colicky flank pain, hematuria, pyuria, fever, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain) or chronic (intermittent dull flank pain, hematuria, pyuria, fever, palpable mass). Diagnosis is through ultrasound, CT scan, or cystoscopy, and treatment involves stents or urine diversion to ensure urinary drainage.
- Acute renal failure (ARF) is a rapid loss of renal function due to damage to the kidneys. Depending on duration and severity, ARF can lead to metabolic complications such as metabolic acidosis and fluid/electrolyte imbalances. ARF has three major categories: prerenal (hypoperfusion of kidney), intrarenal (damage to kidney tissue), and postrenal (obstruction to urine flow). ARF goes through four phases: initiation, oliguria, diuresis, and recovery.
