urinary system organ Usually bacterial
(E. Coli, gastrointestina)
Usually start in urethra or bladder but can move up to kidneys
More frequent with women because of shorter urethra

3 types of infection acute pyelonephritis (infection in kidneys)
Symptoms include high fever, shakes and chills, vomiting, upper back and side pain
Cystitis (infection in bladder) Symptoms include blood in urine, frequent urination,
pelvic pressure and lower abdomen discomfort
Urethritis (infection in urethra) Symptoms include burning with urination

UTI- Test and DiagnosisUTI- Test and Diagnosis
Urinalysis Used to determine RBC, WBC, and Bacteria count
Urine Culture Used to determine what specific bacteria are found
and what antibiotics will be most affective Ultrasound or computer tomography
Creates images of your urinary tract Used if doctor suspects any abnormalities of urinary
tract of persistent infections Cystoscopy
Cystoscope inserted into your urethra to get a visual image

ARF- Acute Renal FailureARF- Acute Renal Failure
Sudden loss of kidney function- eliminating excess fluid, salt, and waste Results in dangerous levels of fluids,
electrolytes and waste in the body.
Onset is usually within a few hours or days.
Can be fatal and requires immediate treatment

ARF- SymptomsARF- Symptoms
Decrease urine output Fluid retention which results in swelling
of legs, ankles, and feet Fatigue Drowsiness Chest pain Confusion Nausea

ARF- CausesARF- Causes
Usually caused by acute damage to the kidney or from another condition/disease the decreases blood flow to kidneys
Diseases/conditions that decrease blood flow to kidneys Coronary disease, severe dehydration, liver cirrhosis
Diseases/conditions that damage kidneys Lupus, blood clots, scleroderma
Diseases/conditions that block urine from leaving the body Kidney stones, bladder cancer, prostate cancer,
cervical cancer

ARF- TreatmentsARF- Treatments Treating underlying
cause/condition Since ARF can be a
secondary disease, it is important to treat the original condition
Treating complications while the kidneys heal Dialysis- removes toxins
that build up in the body Medications to balance
blood calcium or potassium levels

BUN- Blood Urea NitrogenBUN- Blood Urea Nitrogen
Measures the amount of nitrogen found in the blood in the form of urea
Test used to evaluate kidney function Often used in conjuncture with
creatine test Elevated levels can suspect renal
failure.

KUB- Kidney, Ureter, Bladder
KUB- Kidney, Ureter, Bladder
Diagnostic x-ray of the abdomen Does not use any dyes Also called a flat-plate abdomen Can be used to diagnose
gallstones and kidney stones

GU- GenitourinaryGU- Genitourinary Alternate term for the
urinary system Filters and removes waste
products from the blood. Waste materials produced
and excreted as urine Considered the hardest
working system in the body Waste can quickly
become toxic to the blood if not eliminated quickly.
