Know the signs and symptoms of UTI’s and the most common organisms associated with
them. UTI (acute cystitis)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) – inflammation of the urinary epithelium usually caused by bacteria from gut flora.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are commonly caused by the retrograde movement of bacteria into the urethra and
bladder.

• Urgency saprophyticus.
• Dysuria (painful urination
• Suprapubic and low back pain Less common: Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, fungi,
More serious s/s viruses, parasites, or tubercular baccilli
• Hematuria

uropithelium of individuals with P blood group antigen.
Elderly with recurrent UTIs and comorbidities have a
higher risk of mortality Some women are genetically susceptible to certain strains
of E coli
Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder commonly
caused by bacteria and may be acute or chronic.
Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis includes nonbacterial infectious cystitis
(viral, mycobacterial, chlamydial, fungal), noninfectious cystitis (i.e., radiation injury),
and interstitial cystitis, which is related to autoimmune injury.

Types of incontinence
Type Description
Urge incontinence (Most common in older adults) Involuntary loss of urine associated with abrupt &
strong desire to void (urgency), often associated
with involuntary contractions of detrusor; when
associated with neurologic disorder, this called
detrusor hyperreflexia; when no neurologic
disorder exists, this called detrusor instability, may
be associated with decreased bladder wall
compliance
Stress incontinence (most common in women <60 Involuntary loss of urine during coughing,
& men who have had prostate surgery) sneezing, laughing or other physical activity
associated with increased abdominal pressure
Overflow incontinence Underactive bladder (UAB) Involuntary loss of urine with overdistention of
is a condition in which the duration or strength of bladder; associated with neurologic lesions below
contraction is inadequate to empty the bladder, S1, polyneuropathies, and urethral obstruction
resulting in distention and overflow incontinence. (e.g. enlarged prostate)
Mixed incontinence (most common in older Combination of both stress and urge incontinence

Functional incontinence Involuntary loss of urine attributable to dementia
or immobility
