Classifying Altered Elimination
Urinary Dysfunction
Motility
Reduced contraction of hollow structures
Glomerulonephritis
: acute inflammation of the kidney
Corticosteroids used to reduce swelling and suppress immune system
Dietary changes (reduction in sodium and potassium intake)
Low flow rate, increased sodium concentration, low pH
Neuromuscular Function
Neurologic signals from the brain to the bladder and urethra are disrupted
Childbirth, neuromuscular disorders, and other conditions can affect the proper function of the valve-like muscles that control the release of urine, which usually stay closed
Incontinence
Anticholinergics aim to calm an overactive bladder
Urethral insert are a small, tampon-like disposable device inserted into the urethra before an activity that may induce incontinence, like playing a sport
Patency
Polyps, tumors
Scar tissue, adhesions
Hydronophrosis
Urinary catheterization
Ureteroscopy (a thin tube is placed in the urethra to allow the clinician to break up the kidney stones)
Perfusion
Inadequate arterial blood supply
Damage in renal structures because of inability to meet metabolic demands
Excessive constriction of arterioles, inadequate vascular volume (Ex. Embolism)
Ischemia
Nitrates widen arteries, improving blood flow
Aspirin can reduce risk of blood clots
