Pyelonephritis chronic

Water Deficiency. This condition occurs when water output exceeds intake. Water is continually losl by way of the lungs, skin, and kidneys and dius a deficiency of body water will occur if a critical minimal supply is not maintained. Decreased intake when water is available is uncommon. Very rarely, a brain malfunction may interfere with one s sense of diirst. Increased output of water can result from many causes. For example, a person with diabetes insipidus who lacks ADH (antidiuretic hormone) or a person whose kidneys do not respond normally to ADH, as in instances of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, will increase water output Other diseases which may cause excess excretion of water include osmotic diuresis, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, chronic pyelonephritis, and sickle cell anemia, among others. Excessive water losses are also experienced in some cases with advanced age and in some burn cases. Two clinical features are good measures of dehydration—weight loss of the patient and an elevation of the serum sodium concentration. In situations of dehydration, the body initiates mechanisms which manipulate the transfer of water from one compartment to the next, retaining water in those cells and organs where it is most needed. [Pg.1721]

Diabetics are at an increased risk of urinary tract infections and there is an increased incidence of chronic pyelonephritis. By meticulous diabetic control one may be able to reverse the early defects at the onset of diabetes evidenced by hyperfunction of kidneys and mild proteinuria. [Pg.142]

Sulfonamides - The synergistic combination of sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim has emerged as a first choice drug in the treatment of sal-monenosis , chronic pyelonephritis , non-specific and chronic urinary tract infections , and upper respiratory tract infections, especially chronic bronchitis . Favorable results were also achieved in the treatment of purulent angina, bacterial skin infections , staphylococcal osteomyelitis , and endocarditis due to E. coli as well as a variety... [Pg.108]

In the kidney, the urate crystals (see Fig. 3-62) are usually in the pyramids as diffuse, pale yellow, chalky deposits. They induce some interstitial inflammation, which may develop into a foreign body granuloma similar to that observed in the soft tissue tophi. The urate accumulation may lead to obstruction of the renal papillae with functional impairment, but usually the development of chronic pyelonephritis is responsible for renal failure. [Pg.220]

Among the most important causes of chronic renal failure are chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis and hypertension. Various tubular disorders, such as heavy metal poisoning, Wilson s disease and tubular damage caused by hyper-calcaemia or hyperuricaemia, may also lead to generalized chronic renal failure. [Pg.311]
