Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are commonly seen in clinical practice. Bacteria from the gut can invade the urinary epithelium to cause inflammation and infection anywhere along the urinary tract such as the urethra, bladder, ureter, or kidney. Some individuals are predisposed to developing a UTI. It is more common for women to develop a UTI especially when pregnant, sexually active, during post-
menopause with estrogen-deficiency and when being treated with antibiotics where the normal bacteria flora is diminished. Although less common, men may develop a lower UTI. An upper UTI is less common in men due to the longer urethra and ureter structures that make it more difficult for bacteria to reach the kidney. An indwelling urinary catheter can also contribute the development of a UTI. Finally, individuals who experience urinary obstruction, diabetes or neurogenic bladder are also at risk for developing a UTI. A UTI can be discussed in terms of its severity. It can be complicated or uncomplicated. It can also be discussed according to its location, where it can occur anywhere along the urinary tract (upper vs. lower tract disorders). It is under these categories that UTI will be discussed. Finally, common organisms that cause UTI are covered. This information is essential as the NP is responsible for identifying the organism so that appropriate treatment can be initiated. The diagram below compares the male and female urinary tracts. Note that the female has a shorter urethra which predisposes her to an increased risk of infection than the male. The pathophysiology of a UTI is simple. First, bacteria enter and contaminate the lower urinary tract. This causes the colonization of bacteria in the urethra and the bladder which triggers an inflammatory response in the lower urinary tract. Neutrophils are recruited to the area where the bacteria are present. The bacteria multiply which allows them to evade the immune system due to virulent factors. For example, Escherichia coli can bind to cells in the lower urinary tract and hide from the immune cells. The bacteria can form biofilms. A biofilm is any group of microorganisms that allow them to stick to one another and adhere to surfaces that help them survive. If the UTI progresses or is not treated, or if the patient is immunocompromised, the bacteria can ascend to the kidneys and colonize there. At this point, the infection becomes an upper UTI. From there, if left untreated, the bacteria can spread into the circulation via the renal veins causing bacteremia that could potentially lead to septic shock.
