Flank pain

pain located in the fleshy part of the side between the ribs and the hip

,Signs and symptoms of chronic pyelonephritis

-subtle, not well noticed
-flank pain
-dysuria

Diagnostics for pyelonephritis

-urinalysis (foul odor, pyuria, hematuria)

-C&S (likely would show E. coli)

-BUN & creatinine elevated

-altered electrolytes

Pyuria

pus in the urine

Hematuria

blood in the urine

Treatment for pyelonephritis

Goal: prevent permanent damage

-antibiotics! (14 days)

-antipyretics

-antispasmodics

-anticholinergics (relax bladder)

-monitor urinary output and characteristics of urine

-increase fluids to 3-4 L/day

-follow-up UA in 2 weeks

Glomerulonephritis

-inflammation of the glomeruli within the kidney

-non-infectious

, -inflammatory disease with renal damage

-can be chronic or acute

-usually follows infection (often Streptoccocus)

-usually appears 2-3 weeks after infection (Strep, URI, mumps, varicella, Hep. B)

What happens in glomerulonephritis?

the immune system attacks the glomeruli leading to inflammation and kidney damage

1. an infection exposes the body to foreign antigens (often from bacteria)

2. the immune system produces antibodies in response to the antigens to try to eliminate them

3. antigens and antibodies form immune complexes when they bind together, then these circulate in the
blood and deposit in the glomeruli

4. when complement proteins encounter these immune complexes they attract immune cells to the site
and leads to inflammation

5. the immune response causes inflammation in the glomeruli. WBCs are attracted to the area and this
all damages the filtering structures of the glomeruli

6. kidney function is impaired

What are 2 things lost in the urine with glomerulonephritis?

-RBCs (hematuria)

-proteins (proteinuria)

Proteinuria

-protein in the urine
-makes the urine frothy




Why are RBCs and proteins lost in the urine for glomerulonephritis?

-normally when the blood filters into the glomerulus, big particles like RBCs and proteins are retained in
the blood
-when the glomerulus is damaged, it has increased permeability so these bigger substances get filtered
out of the blood
-they are then excreted in the urine instead of kept in the body
