Genitourinary tract dysfunction
Genitourinary tract disorder
Uninary tract infaction
A common and potentially serious problem in children
Girls have a two-fold to four-fold higher prevalence than do circumcised boys.
Uncircumcised males younger than 3 months old and females younger than 12 months old have the highest baseline prevalence of UTI
Upper UTI
• Kidneys (pyelonephritis) tend to present with fever and may be associated
with decrease kidney dysfunction
• Urethra (urethritis)
Lower UTI
• Bladder (cystitis)
• Ureters (ureteritis)
Aetiology
Escherichia coli remains (most common uropathogen)
Proteus mirabilis ,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Klebsiella
Enterobacter
• Other gram-negative organisms:
Factor
• Female gender
• Uncircumcised males
• Vesicoureteral reflux
• Voiding dysfunction
• Obstructive uropathy
• Urethral instrumentation • tight clothing
• Constipation
• Anatomic abnormal
(Labial adhesion)
• Neuropathic bladder • Sexual activity
• pregnancy
Clinical manifestation
• Newborns may have fever, hypothermia, jaundice, tachypnea or cyanosis, and they appear quite ill.
More than 2 years of age
• enuresis or daytime incontinence in the child who has been toilet trained, fever, foul-smelling urine, increased frequency of urination, dysuria or urgency
In older children and adolescents
• Lower tract infections: frequency and painful urination of a small amount of turbulent urine that may be grossly bloody.
• Upper tract infection: fever (> 38°C), chills and flank pain-lower tract
In older children and adolescents
• Lower tract infections: frequency and painful urination of a small amount of turbulent urine that may be grossly bloody.
• Upper tract infection: fever (> 38°C), chills and flank pain-lower tract.
Diagnosis
•Urinary analysis and culture
•Urinary analysis and culture
•Illness history
The most accurate test for a child < 2 years
is suprapubic aspiration
Treatment
Take antibiotic
Nursing care management
Encoragement of good toilet habits
Encoragement of dietary intake
Instruct parents about awareness of signs and symptoms of UTI
Teach the parents and children about medication
Encorage brushing the teeth
Reinforce compliance with medication regimens and complication of therapy
Encorage adequate fluid intake (Holiday segar method)
Avoid bladder irritants (caffeinated, carbonatrred beverage)
IVF if needed
Assessment
Laboratory
Urinalysis

Urine culture
Bladder catheization >=10^3
Suprapubic aspiration:Not found

Radiologic and other test of urinary system function
VCUG
DMSA
Ultrasonnography
Pathophysiology
Geneally,UTI occures when bacteria adhere to the uroepithelium and induce an inflammatory response
The invasion of uropathogenes may be restrictde to the distal part of the urinary tracted , causing urethritis or cystitis or may reach the upper urinary tract,causing uriteritis and pyelitis or pyelonephritis

glomerular deposition, and the clinical presentations may be indistinguishable.
Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSAGN)
• Postinfectious glomerulonephritis, is the most common of the non-infectious renal diseases in childhood
APSGN can occur at primarily affects early school- age children, with a median age of onset between 3 and 12 years
Aetiology
• A latent period of 1 to 2 weeks occurs between a streptococcal infection of the throat, or 3 to 6 weeks between a skin infection
• Disease secondary to streptococcal pharyngitis is more common in the winter or spring
Clinical manifestations
• Periorbital, gonadal, abdominal or lower extremity oedema
• Loss of appetite
• Decrease urinary out put
• Cola or tea colour urine
์Non-pitting edema
Diagnosis evaluation
• Urinalysis during the acute phase shows haematuria, proteinuria and increased specific gravity.
• Gross discolouration of urine reflects its red blood cell and haemoglobin content.
• Microscopic examination of the sediment shows many red blood cells, leucocytes, epithelial cells and granular and red blood cell casts.
• Bacteria are not seen, and urine cultures are negative.
Therapeutic management
• No specific treatment is available for APSGN.
• Generalsupportivemeasuresandearly recognition and treatment of complications.
• Children who have normal blood pressure and a satisfactory urinary
output can generally be treated at home but must be closely monitored.
• Those with substantial oedema, hypertension, gross haematuria or significant oliguria are often hospitalised because of the unpredictability of complications.
• Short hospitalisation may be necessary in uncomplicated cases
Hypertension
• Need absolute bed rest
• BP taken at least every 4 to 6 hours.
• Antihypertensive drugs, such as calcium channel blockers, beta blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, may be needed in severe cases
Nursing management
Regular monitoring V/S
• Fluid balance
• Assessmentappearanceforsignsof cerebral complications
• The child with oedema, hypertension and gross haematuria may be subject to complications, and anticipatory preparations are important nursing care responsibilities
• Foods high in sodium and salted treats are eliminated. The nurse should advise parents and friends against bringing items such as potato chips or corn chips
Nephrotic syndrome (NS)
Pathophysiology
Clinical manifestation
Pitting edemd
Pallor
Decrease urine outout and frothy urine
Assesment
Urinalysis
Proteinuria(3+ to 4+)
Serum
Hypercholesterolemia>=250
Hypoalbuminia<=2.5 2.5 mg/l
Nursing care management
• Daily monitoring of I/O
• examination of the urine for albumin,
• daily weight and measurement of abdominal girth.
• Assessment of oedema, such as increased or decreased swelling
• monitors vital signs to detect any early signs of complications su
• Small, frequent meals may be best tolerated.
• Salt and fluids are restricted during the oedema phase
Reducing excretion of urine protein
-steroid: prenisolone 2mg/kg/day
Reducing fluid retention in the tissue
-Restricting salt intake
-severe edema : diuretic,give albumin (0.5-1g /kg IV over 1-2 hrs)
Family support and home care
• Teach parents to detect signs of relapse and to notify the healthcare providers
• Instruct parents in urine testing for albumin, administration of medications and general care.
• Urine is usually tested daily for albumin while the child is receiving medicine for nephrotic syndrome, and twice a week during remission.
• Salt is restricted to no additional salt during relapse and steroid therapy, but a regular diet is suitable for the child in remission.
• Prevent infection
