Physiologic changes that may occur as a result of hydronephrosis: (5)
-decreased GFR -metabolic acidosis -polyuria/polydipsia -urinary STASIS -renal failure -Cessation of glomerular filtration occurs when the pressure in the kidney pelvis equals the filtration pressure in the glomerular capillaries. To compensate, the blood pressure increases to increase the glomerular filtration pressure; how- ever, increasing pressure on the glomeruli leads to cell death. -Metabolic acidosis results when the distal nephrons' ability to secrete hydrogen ions is impaired. -Impairment of the kidney's ability to concentrate urine results in polydipsia and polyuria. -Obstruction results in urinary stasis, promoting bacterial growth. -Restriction of urinary outflow causes progressive renal damage and chronic renal failure if untreated.
N/C of Nephritis/hydronephrosis
-discuss concerns about how the disorder will affect the child's long-term renal functioning. Postoperative: -monitoring vital signs & I&Os -observing for signs of urine retention (decreased output & bladder distention) -since many children are discharged with stents or catheters: Teach parents how to change dressings, double-diaper, care for catheters, assess pain and give analgesics -recognize signs of possible obstruction or infection. -Parents should encourage the child to participate in age-appropriate activities. However, children should avoid contact sports because of their potential to injure the bladder.
side effects of long term steroid use
-increase blood glucose -weight gain -growth restriction -moon face -malaise -immunosuppressant: risk for infection and delayed wound healing
physiologic changes related to AGN:
-thickened glomerulus -damaged tissue cells of the glomeruli capillaries -decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -increase vascular permeability ---RBC excretion HEMATURIA --mild proteinuria -retention of sodium & water ---expanding intravascular & interstitial compartments=> EDEMA & HTN

Which of the following conditions most commonly causes acute glomerulonephritis? a. congenital conditions leading to renal dysfunction b. prior infection with group A streptococcus with the past 10-14 days c. viral infection of the glomeruli d. nephrotic syndrome
b. prior infection with group A streptococcus with the past 10-14 days Acute glomerulonephritis is most commonly caused by the immune response to a prior upper respiratory infection with group A Streptococcus. Glomerular inflammation occurs about 10-14 days after the infection, resulting in scant, dark urine and retention of body fluid. Periorbital edema and hypertension are common signs at diagnosis.
Dr. Jones prescribes corticosteroids for a child with nephritic syndrome. What is the primary purpose of administering corticosteroids to this child? a. to increase blood pressure b. to reduce inflammation c. to decrease proteinuria d. to prevent infection
c. to decrease proteinuria Option C: The primary purpose of administering corticosteroids to a child with nephritic syndrome is to decrease proteinuria. Option A: Corticosteroids have no effect on blood pressure. Option B: Although they help reduce inflammation, this is not the reason for their use in patients with nephritic syndrome. Option D: Corticosteroids may predispose a patient to infection. REALLY?

Nephrotic syndrome -nursing assessment: -nursing diagnosis: -nursing interventions:
Nursing Assessment -Observe for edema/ pitting edema- Note any swelling about the eyes or the ankles and other dependent parts. -Weigh and measure. -vital signs including blood pressure. -Inspect the skin for pallor, irritation, or breakdown -examine the scrotal area of the male child for swelling, redness, and irritation. Nursing Diagnoses -Excess fluid volume related to fluid accumulation in tissues and third spaces. -Risk for imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements related to anorexia. -Risk for impaired skin integrity related to edema. -Fatigue related to edema and disease process. -Risk for infection related to immunosuppression. -Deficient knowledge of the caregiver related to disease process, treatment, and home care. -Compromised family coping related to care of a child with chronic illness. Nursing Interventions -Monitoring fluid intake and output. -Accurately monitor and document intake and output -weigh the child at the same time every day, on the same scale in the same clothing -measure the child's abdomen daily at the level of the umbilicus. -Improving nutritional intake. -Offer a visually appealing and nutritious diet -consult the child and the family to learn which foods are appealing to the child -serving six small meals my help increase the child's total intake better. -Promoting skin integrity. Inspect all skin surfaces regularly for breakdown -turn and position the child every 2 hours; protect skin surfaces from pressure by means of pillows and padding; -protect overlapping skin surfaces from rubbing by careful placement of cotton gauze -bathe the child regularly a sheer dusting of cornstarch maybe soothing to the skin. -Promoting energy conservation. -Bed rest is common during the edema stage of the condition; -balance the activity with rest periods and encourage the child to rest when fatigued; -plan quiet, age-appropriate activities that interest the child. -Preventing infection. Protect the child from anyone with an infection: staff, family, visitors, and other children; handwashing and strict medical asepsis are essential; and observe for any early signs of infection.

11) Which assessment finding would necessitate action by the nurse for a 10-month-old child who is 4 hours postoperative for the placement of a urethral stent? 1. Bloody urine 2. One void since returning from surgery 3. Bladder spasms responding to pharmacologic intervention 4. Double diapering from the previous shift
Answer: 2 Explanation: 1. Bloody urine is expected in the immediate postoperative period. 2. A 10-month-old child will void more often than 1 time in 4 hours. This could indicate the stent is occluded. The surgeon should be notified. 3. This is a normal finding. 4. This is a desired finding and does not need to be reported to the surgeon. lecture question found in main TB ch. 52 #11 https://quizlet.com/288716229/pediatrics-51-52-gi-gu-flash-cards/

Foul-smelling urine, elevated blood pressure (BP), and hematuria 3. Urgency, dysuria, and fever 4. Severe flank pain, nausea, and headache
Answer: 3 Explanation: 1. Hematuria might be present, but there will be no complaints of headache or vertigo. 2. While foul-smelling urine and hematuria can be present, there is no elevated BP, headache, or vertigo. 3. Clinical manifestations of UTI in a preschool-age child include fever, urgency, and dysuria. 4. There could be flank pain, although the preschooler might be unable to describe it. There will be no complaints of headache. (question asked in class & found in main TB ch. 52)
reflex of urine that prevents emptying of the bladder and because urine returns to the bladder, it creates a reservoir for bacterial growth (frequent utis)
vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
rare congenital defect in which the posterior bladder wall extrudes through the lower abdominal wall (inside out bladder)
Bladder exstrophy (Failure of the abdominal wall to close during fetal development results in eversion and protuberance of the bladder wall along with a wide separation of the rectus muscles and the symphysis pubis. The upper urinary tract is usually normal. The bladder mucosa appears as a mass of bright-red tissue, and urine continually leaks from the ureters onto the skin)
Structural - urinary (3)
Bladder exstrophy Hypospadias/epispadias Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
tx of VUR
Bladder training or Surgical correction
Clinical Tip of Hypospadias/epispadias:
Clinical Tip When children are not able to achieve continence, some type of urinary diversion may be created. A vesicostomy is a procedure in which an opening is created from the bladder to the skin. The urine drains from the opening (stoma) to the child's diaper or a drainage bag. In the Mitrofano procedure, a reservoir for urine and a stoma are created so that children can catheterize themselves through the umbilicus (see Chapter 54).
what is the definite diagnosis of VUR
voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) (A renal ultrasound &/or dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan may also be used to rule out other issues first)
a fluid-filled mass in the testes
Hydrocele (Most hydroceles resolve spontaneously by reabsorption by 1 year of age)
insensible fluid loss:
what is excreted by the lungs (respiration-CO2) , skin (diaphoresis/perspiration)
a child has renal insufficiency and he is currently sick with an acute gastrointestinal illness is at greater risk for ____________
FLUID LOSS/ DEHYDRATION
Hydrocele vs Hernia (inguinal)
Hydrocele * scrotal and/or inguinal swelling * peritoneal Fluid in scrotum Hernia (inguinal) * scrotal and/or inguinal swelling * abdominal contents in scrotum * incarceration risk (Inguinal hernias can become incarcerated when a bit of bowel becomes trapped in the inguinal opening and the blood supply is constricted. concern for necrosis)
AGN culprit
Group A beta strep (The incidence of acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN) is highest in children between 2 and 6 years of age, and the disorder is more common in boys than in girls)
is a condition that affects the blood and blood vessels and is one of the most common causes of acute renal failure
Hemolytic uremic syndrome
scrotal and/or inguinal swelling and abdominal contents in scrotum
Inguinal Hernia (painless inguinal or scrotal swelling of variable size that occurs when abdominal tissue, such as bowel, extends into the inguinal canal. An inguinal hernia is found in 3.5% to 5.0% of full-term infants and 9% to 11% of preterm infants and occurs more often in boys than girls by a 8:1 ratio)
sepsis can effect:
Lungs kidney skin gut

is a surgery to move an undescended (cryptorchid) testicle into the scrotum and permanently fix it there.
orchiopexy (wait 1 year to see if testes descend on its own first)
surgery of Testicular torsion
orchiopexy- both sides (the testis is untwisted and stitched to the side of the scrotum in the correct position. The procedure is usually performed bilaterally to prevent future torsion in the other testis. If the testicle does not regain blood flow or is already necrotic, it is removed via orchiectomy)
the foreskin over the glans penis cannot be retracted.
phimosis -cant clean under foreskin & cuts off circulation -phimosis is a normal finding in uncircumcised infants and young males
diagnosis of hydrocele/hernia
physical examination at birth or in early infancy. Ultrasonography, Duplex ultrasonography & radiography -Palpation of the scrotum reveals a round, smooth, non- tender mass, which is noted with either a hernia or hydrocele. -Parents may report an intermittent bulge in the groin or swelling in the scrotum. Swelling associated with a hernia may become more apparent with straining and reduced in size when quiet or asleep.
