Acute
Most Common Site for
UTI
Bacterial Attaches to
Uroepithelium
Causes: E. Coli, Klebsiella,
Pseudomonas, Staph
Periurethral Mucus

Sphincter Mechanisms
Chronic
Bacteria Form
Biofilm
Body Immune System
(Bladder Wall)
Common Causes:
Kidney Stones
Vesicoureteral Reflux
Pregnancy
Neurogenic Bladder
Instrumentation
Female Sexual Trauma
Infection initiates inflammatory
response
Tumors
Association:
Tobacco Use, Obesity, Long-term Analgesic
use
Bladder Tumors
Renal Adenoma
Benign Tumors
Located near cortex of
kidney
Renal Cell Carcinoma
Most common renal
neoplasm
Proximal tubule
epithelial cells
Primary
Associated with mutation
of gene P53
Increase Risk
Smokers (men)
Workers exposed to
chemicals, rubber, &
in textile industry
Secondary
Result of invasion of
cancer from bordering
organs
Pyelonephritis
Acute
Chronic
Common Cause: E Coli
Infection of renal pelvis
and interstutium
Common Causes
Kidney Stones
Vesicoureteral Reflux
Pregnancy
Neurogenic Bladder
Instrumentation
Female Sexual Trauma
Recurrent Autoimmune
Infections
Inflammatory Process
damages tubular cells
Usually localized abscesses
Healing occurs
Deposition of Scar tissue
Atrophy of affected tubules
Affects primarily the pelvis,
calyces, and medulla
Rarely causes renal failure
Inflammation and
scarring of kidney
Pelvis, calyces – dilated
& blunted
Destruction of tubules
Areas of atrophy/dilation/
diffuse scaring
Impairment of function
Urine-concentration
ability affected
Excretion of diluted urine
Renal Failure
Glomerular Disorders
Glomerulonephritis
Acute Glomerulonephritis

Glomerular
Diseases
Focal or Diffuse
Segmental fibrosis
and deterioration
Prognosis

20-50%
progress to
Renal Fail
Cause: Immune response
Toxin/Drugs
Vasc. Disorders
Damage: Biochemical
Mediators of Inflammation
Complement activation
Neutrophils/Monocytes
Antibody Formation
Affects:
Pulmonary Capillary
Glomerular Basement Membs
Poor Prognosis
Poor Prognosis
Renal Failure
Disturbance in Glomerular Basement Memb
(metabolic, biochemical, physiochemical) leads
to increase permeability to protein
Most individuals
Children recover
with minimal
loss of renal
function
Hypoalbuminema
Antiglomerular Basement
Membrane (Good-pasture
Syndrome)
Tubular dilation and atrophy
Nephrotic Syndrome
Most
Common
Form
Unknown
cause
24-48 hrs
after URI or
GI infection
Example of
Crescent
Glomerulonephritis
Abrupt onset
7-10 after
infection
Group A Strep
S/S 10-21days
after infections
Hyperlipidemia
Proteinuria
Lipiduria
Hypocalcemia
Treatment:
Normal, Low-fat Diet; Salt Restriction
Diuretics; Antigoagulants; Removal of
toxins; Steroids; Albumin
Replacements
Structural Abnormality
Definition
Facts
Hypospadias
Congenital condition in which the
urethral meatus is located on the ventral
side of the penis
Related to disruption in male hormones
Accompanied by Chordee or penile
torsion
Corrective Surgery
Epispadias
Exstrophy of the bladder- Urethral
opening on the dorsal surface of penis.
Urethral opening small and situated
behind the glans with fissure extending
the length of penis
Constant dribbling of urine
Exstrophy of Bladder
Extensive congenital anomaly in which
the lower urinary tract is exposed
directly to the surface of the body
Caused by intrauterine failure of the
abdominal wall and the mesoderm of the
anterior bladder to fuse
Reconstructive surgery girls – teens
Boys – 2-3 yrs of age
Ureteropelvic Junction
Obstruction
Blockage of the tapered point where the
renal pelvis transitions into the ureter
Intrinsic malformation of smooth muscle
or urothelial development produces
obstruction in 90% of cases. Causes
kinking and scarring
Bladder Outlet
Obstruction
A urethral valve is a thin membrane of
tissue that occludes the urethral lumen
and obstructs urinary outflow in males.
Polyps rarely arise form the prostatic
urethra – often cause sever obstruction
and impair renal embrogenesis leading
to UTI, Vesicoureteric reflux, and renal
failure. Resection as soon as possible
Hypoplastic(Dysplastic
Kidneys
Ureteric duct grows into the metanephric
tissue, triggering the formation of the
kidneys in utero. If this growth does not
occur the kidney is absent or hypoplastic
(small) Renal dysplasia results from
abnormal differentiation of renal tissue
Associated with a functional or organic
obstruction of the collecting system
Obstruction may begin prior to birth
Renal Agenesis
Absence of one or both kidneys
Potter syndrome (bilateral renal
agenesis)
Clearly hereditary
Bilateral agenesis is usually fatal
Unilateral – males more affected
Polycystic Kidneys
Autosomal dominant inherited disorder
PKD-1 and PKD-2 mutations account for
the disease
The gene products regulate epithelial
growth and differentiation.
