INTRODUCTION

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are caused by the pathogenic microorganism in the
urinary tract. UTIs are classified according to location: either the upper urinary tract
(which includes the kidneys and ureters) and lower urinary tract (which includes the
bladder and structures below the bladder). Pyelonephritis is classified as an upper urinary
tract infection. It is an inflammation of the renal pelvis.
Acute pyelonephritis is one of the most common serious bacterial infections in young
adult women.
Can be divided into:
Uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis- Typically occurs in healthy, young women structural
or functional urinary tract abnormalities.
Complicated acute pyelonephritis- Occurs in patients with a structurally or functionally
abnormal genitourinary tract, or a predisposing medical condition.
INTRODUCTION

CAUSES / ETIOLOGY

The infection usually starts in the lower urinary tract as a urinary tract
infection (UTI). Bacteria enter the body through the urethra and begin to
multiply and spread up to the bladder. From there, the bacteria travel through
the ureters to the kidneys.
Bacteria such as Escherichia coli often cause this infection. However, any
serious infection in the bloodstream can also spread to the kidneys and cause
acute pyelonephritis.
INTRODUCTION

RISK FACTORS

Any problem that interrupts the normal flow of urine causes a greater risk
of acute pyelonephritis. For example, a urinary tract that's an unusual size or
shape in more likely to lead to acute pyelonephritis. Also, women's urethras
are much shorter than men, so it's easier for bacteria to enter their bodies.
That makes women more prone to kidney infections and puts them at a
higher risk of acute pyelonephritis.
INTRODUCTION

Other people who at increased risk include:

• Anyone with chronic kidney stones or other kidney or bladder conditions


• Older adults
• People with suppressed immune systems, such as people with diabetes,
HIV/AIDS or cancer
• People with an enlarged prostate
INTRODUCTION

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS


First symptoms:
1. High Fever
2. Chills
3. Pain in the abdomen, back, side or groin
In some cases, this infection causes nausea and vomiting
Urinary symptoms are also common, including:
• Urinary frequency­­‑ Or the need to urinate often
• Urinary urgency- Or the need to urinate immediately
• Dysuria- Painful urination
• Hematuria- Or blood in the urine
INTRODUCTION

DIAGNOSTIC & CONFIRMATORY TESTS


Urine tests- This helps to check for bacteria, concentration, blood, and pus in the urine.
Imaging tests:
1. Ultrasound- To look for cysts, tumors, or other obstructions in the urinary
tract.
2. CT-Scan- (with or without injectable dye) can also detect obstructions
within the urinary tract.
Radioactive Imaging:
3. Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) test- May ordered if suspects scarring as a
result of pyelonephritis. This is an imaging technique that tracks an injection
of radioactive material.
INTRODUCTION

MANAGEMENT
1. Antibiotics are the first course of action against acute pyelonephritis. However, the
type of antibiotic your doctor chooses depends on whether or not the bacteria can be
identified. If not, a broad-spectrum antibiotic is used.
2. Hospital admission depends on the severity of your condition and how well you
respond to treatment. Treatment includes intravenous hydration and antibiotics for 24
to 48 hours. Doctors, will monitor your blood and urine to track the infection. You’ll
likely receive 10 to 14 days’ worth of oral antibiotics to take after you’re released from
the hospital.
3. Surgery may be required to remove any obstructions or to correct any structural
problems in the kidneys. It may also be necessary to drain an abscess that doesn’t
respond antibiotics.
INTRODUCTION

COMPLICATIONS

• Proper treatment of pyelonephritis may prevent serious problems. If


untreated, it can lead to a bacterial infection in the bloodstream called
sepsis. This can then spread to other parts of the body and cause serious
conditions requiring emergency treatment.
• Untreated pyelonephritis can also result in acute respiratory distress as
fluid accumulates in the lungs.
• Pyelonephritis during pregnancy is a leading cause of preterm labor, which
puts the baby at high risk for serious complications and even death.
INTRODUCTION

PREVENTION

Pyelonephritis can be a serious condition. This condition requires prompt


medical attention, so the earlier you start treatment, the better.
1. Drink plenty of fluid to increase urination and remove bacteria from the
urethra
2. Wipe from front to back
3. Avoid using products that can irritate the urethra, such as douches or
feminine sprays.
INTRODUCTION

EPIDEMIOLOGY

• Urinary tract infections remain among the most common medical


complications during pregnancy. It is estimated that the prevalence of ASB
varies between 2% and 10–13%, similar to nonpregnant women. There is a
scarcity of data concerning acute cystitis in pregnancy; according to the
available studies it is observed in 1–4%. The prevalence of acute
pyelonephritis in most reports ranges from 0.5% to 2% of pregnancies.
INTRODUCTION
EPIDEMIOLOGY

• Many women acquire bacteriuria before pregnancy. A large retrospective


analysis with logistic regression modeling, embracing 8037 women from
North Carolina, revealed that the two strongest predictors of bacteriuria at
prenatal care at prenatal care initiation were: UTI prior to prenatal care
initiation (OR = 2.5, 95% CI: 0.6–9.8 for whites, and OR = 8.8, 95% CI: 3.8–
20.3 for blacks) and a pre-pregnancy history of UTI (OR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.4–
3.2). In a second analysis, prior antenatal UTI was found to be the strongest
predictor of pyelonephritis after 20 weeks’ gestation (OR = 5.3, 95% CI: 2.6–
11.0).
INTRODUCTION

PROGNOSIS
• Overall the majority of cases of pyelonephritis are managed in an outpatient
setting with most patients improving with oral antibiotics. Usually, young women
are among those most likely to be treated as outpatients.

• Despite pyelonephritis improving in most cases, there is still significant morbidity


and mortality that can be associated with severe cases of this disease. Overall
mortality has been reported around 10% to 20% in some studies with a recent
study from Hong Kong finding a mortality rate closer to 7.4%.
INTRODUCTION

PROGNOSIS
• More importantly, this study found that old age (older than 65 years), male
gender, impaired renal function, or presence of disseminated intravascular
coagulation were associated with increased mortality. With the proper
recognition of the underlying etiology and prompt intervention with adequate
treatment, even patients with severe pyelonephritis generally have a good
outcome.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
 
Overview of the Urinary System
The urinary system maintains blood homeostasis by filtering out excess
fluid and other substances from the bloodstream and secreting waste.
 
The Renal System
It is also called the urinary system, is a group of organs in the body that
filters out excess fluid and other substances from the bloodstream.
The purpose of the renal system is to eliminate wastes from the body,
regulate blood volume and pressure, control levels of electrolytes and
metabolites, and regulate blood pH.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

The renal system organs include the: kidney, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Metabolic wastes and excess ions are filtered out of the blood, along with
water, and leave the body in the form of urine.

Figure 1: Components and major organs of the renal system


ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Renal System Functions:

Many of these functions are interrelated with the physiological mechanisms


in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
1. Removal of metabolic waste products from the body
(mainly urea and uric acid)
2. Regulation of electrolyte balance (e.g., sodium,
potassium, and calcium)
3. Osmoregulation controls the blood volume and body
water contents.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

4. Blood pressure homeostasis: The renal system alters


water retention and thirst to slowly change blood volume
and keep blood pressure in a normal range.
5. Regulation of acid-base homeostasis and blood pH, a
function shared with the respiratory system.

Many of these functions are related to one another as well. For example, water
follows ions via an osmotic gradient, so mechanisms that alter sodium levels or
sodium retention in the renal system will alter water retention levels as well.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Organs of the Renal System


 
Kidneys- Are the most complex and critical part of the urinary system. The
primary function of the kidneys is to maintain a stable internal environment
(homeostasis) for optimal cell and tissue metabolism. The kidneys have an
extensive blood supply from the renal arteries that leave the kidneys via the
renal vein.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Nephrons- Are the main functional component inside the parenchyma of
the kidneys, which filter blood to remove urea, a waste product formed by the
oxidation of proteins, as well as ions like potassium and sodium. The nephrons
are made up of a capsule capillaries (the glomerulus) and a small renal tube.

The renal tube of the nephron consists of a network of tubules and loops that
are selectively permeable to water and ions.

Many hormones involved in homeostasis will alter the permeability of these


tubules to change the amount of water that is retained by the body
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Ureter
Urine passes from the renal tube through tubes called ureters and into the
bladder.
Bladder
It is flexible and is used as storage until the urine is allowed to pass through
the urethra and out of the body.
Human Osmoregulation
The kidneys play a very large role in human osmoregulation by regulating
the amount of water reabsorb from the glomerular filtrate in kidney tubules,
which is controlled by hormones such as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), renin,
aldosterone, and angiotensin I and II.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
 
A basic example is that a decrease in water concentration of blood is
detected by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, which stimulates ADH release
from the pituitary gland to increase the permeability of the wall of the
collecting ducts and tubules in the nephrons.
Therefore, a large proportion of water is reabsorbed from fluid to prevent a fair
proportion of water from being excreted.
The extent of blood volume and blood pressure regulation facilitated by the
kidneys is a complex process. Besides, ADH secretion, the renin-angiotensin
feedback system is critically important to maintain blood volume and blood
pressure homeostasis.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

 
Figure 2. The Kidney
 Renal Cortex- The cortex is the outer part of the kidney. This is where blood
is filtered.
 Renal Medulla- Where the amount of salt and water in your urine is
controlled.
Renal Capsule- Smooth, transparent sheet of irregular connective tissue that is
continuous with the outer coat of the ureter.

Minor Calyx- Portion of the urinary collecting system within the kidney that
drains one renal papilla.

dependence on opioids.
 
 
 
 
 
DOCTOR’S ORDER: Paracetamol 300 mg IV q4
GENERIC NAME: Paracetamol
BRAND NAME: Ifimol IV
CLASSIFICATION: Aniline Analgesics
PREGNANCY CLASSIFICATION: A
 
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
• Paracetamol exhibits analgesic action by peripheral blockage of pain impulse generation.
It produces antipyretics by inhibiting the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre. Its weak
anti-inflammatory activity is related to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the CNS.
 
INDICATIONS:
• For mild to moderate pain and to treat fever.
CONTRAINDICATIONS AND CAUTIONS:
• Hypersensitivity. Severe hepatic impairment or active liver disease (IV).

ADVERSE EFFECTS:
• Significant: Thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, neutropenia, pancytopenia,
methaemoglobinaemia, agranulocytosis, angioedema, pain and burning sensation at
injection site. Rarely hypotension and tachycardia.
• Gastrointestinal disorders: Nausea, vomiting, constipation.
• Nervous system disorders: Headache.
• Psychiatric disorders: Insomnia.
• Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Erythema, flushing, pruritus.

another.
• There are no known harmful effects when used during pregnancy.
• Small amounts may pass into breast milk. However, there are no known harmful effects
when used by breastfeeding mothers.
• Alcohol increases the risk of liver damage that can occur if an overdose of paracetamol is
taken. The hazards of paracetamol overdose are greater in persistent heavy drinkers and
in people with alcoholic liver disease.

GENERIC NAME: Cefuroxime
BRAND NAME: Ceftin, Zinacef
CLASSIFICATION: Ceftin
PREGNANCY CLASSIFICATION: B
 
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
• Cephalosporins exert bactericidal activity by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis
and inhibiting cross-linking of the peptidoglycan. The cephalosporins are also thought to
play a role in the activation of bactericidal cell autolysins which may contribute to
bacterial cell lysis.
INDICATIONS:
• Susceptible mild to moderate infections including pharyngitis/tonsillitis, acute maxillary
sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, acute otitis media, uncomplicated skin and skin structure,
UTIs, gonorrhea, early Lyme disease. Treatment of the following infections caused by
