        Para/tetraplegia, treated by
        surgery and/or physical therapy
      - Causes:
        
        Impaired neurotransmitter production
        
        Lack of coordination of neural impulses from initiation to action
    - - Associated Disease Process:
        
        Hydronephrosis, treated by urinary catheterisation
        
        Hydroureter, treated by medication or surgery
      - Causes:
        
        Scar tissue

    - - Associated Disease Process:
        
        Ischemia, treated by dietary changes or fluid therapy
        
        Infarction, treated by anticoagulants, endovascular therapy, or open surgery
      - Causes:
        
        Inadequate vascular volume
        
        Excessive constriction of arterioles

      - Causes:
        
        Precipitation of urinary fluid components

        Spinal trauma
        
        Abdominal surgery
      - Associated Disease Process:
        
        Abdominal distention, treated by diuretics, laxatives, or activated charcoal

        Appendicitis, treated by antibiotics and surgery
    - - Causes:
        
        Altered bacterial intestinal flora composition
        
        Foods that irritate the intestine
      - Associated Disease Process:
        
        Diarrhea, treated by antibiotics or probiotics
        
        Constipation, treated by dietary changes or surgery in severe cases
    - - Causes:
        
        Polyps
        
        Impacted feces
      - Associated Disease Process:
        
        Edema, treated by dietary changes or diuretics
        
        Sepsis, treated by immediate surgery
