Concept Map: Pathophysiology of Elimination
Alterations of Motility
Causes: Kidney stones, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Disease Example: Nephrolithiasis (Kidney Stones)
Treatments: Increased fluid intake, lithotripsy (shock wave therapy)
Alterations of Neuromuscular
Causes: Spinal cord injury, Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Disease Example: Neurogenic Bladder
Treatments: Catheterization, bladder training, medications (e.g., anticholinergics)
Alterations of Patency
Causes: Tumors, congenital abnormalities
Disease Example: Obstructive Uropathy
Treatments: Surgical removal of obstruction, ureteral stents
Alterations of Perfusion
Causes: Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus
Disease Example: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Treatments: Blood pressure control (ACE inhibitors), dialysis, kidney transplant
Alterations of Motility
Causes: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Opioid use
Disease Example: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Treatments: Dietary modifications, antispasmodic medications
Alterations of Neuromuscular Function
Causes: Spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease
Disease Example: Hirschsprung’s Disease
Treatments: Surgical resection of affected bowel segment, laxatives
Alterations of Patency
Causes: Colorectal cancer, Volvulus (twisting of the intestine)
Disease Example: Bowel Obstruction
Treatments: Surgery (resection or stent placement), bowel rest (NPO, IV fluids)
