Urinary tract, upper

Upper and lower urinary tract infection, urosepsis, urinary incontinence refractory urinary retentions chronic, renal failure, bladder diverticuli, bladder stones, or recurrent gross hematuria. [Pg.793]

Describe the signs and symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and how they differ in upper versus lower urinary tract disease. [Pg.1151]

Bacteriuria, or bacteria in the urine, does not always represent infection. For this reason a number of quantitative diagnostic criteria have been created to identify the amount of bacteria in the urine that most likely represents true infection (hence the term significant bacteriuria ). These are shown in Table 76-1. Furthermore, UTIs are classified as lower tract or upper tract disease. Patients will present differently with upper versus lower tract disease, and upper tract disease is thought of as a much more severe infection, as patients are more likely to be admitted to the hospital with upper urinary tract disease than lower tract disease. An example of lower tract infection is cystitis. Cystitis refers to the syndrome associated with a UTI involving dysuria, frequency, urgency, and occasional suprapubic tenderness. An example of upper urinary tract disease is pyelonephritis. Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the kidney usually due to infection. Frequently, patients with uncomplicated UTI are treated as outpatients, while those patients with complicated UTIs are treated as inpatients. [Pg.1151]

Upper urinary tract infection Typically used to describe infection involving the upper urinary tract, particularly the kidneys. [Pg.1579]

Infliximab (Remicade) is a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against TNF-a. Recently, its indications have been expanded to include psoriatic arthritis and treatment of adults with chronic severe plaque psoriasis. An advantage over other systemic psoriasis treatments is that infliximab does not adversely affect blood counts, hepatic enzyme levels, or kidney function. The recommended dose is 5 mg/kg as an IV infusion at weeks 0, 2, and 6, then every 8 weeks thereafter. For psoriatic arthritis, it may be used with or without methotrexate. Adverse effects include headaches, fever, chills, fatigue, diarrhea, pharyngitis, upper respiratory and urinary tract infec-... [Pg.204]

Resistance to the drugs has developed over time current uses include treatment of gonorrhea, and upper and lower urinary tract infections in both sexes. [Pg.19]

Cefuroxime is indicated to treat infections of bacterial origin such as urinary tract infections, otitis media and upper respiratory tract infections. Bacterial vaginosis is likely to be treated with metronidazole and clindamycin. [Pg.333]

Adverse reactions occurring in at least 3% of patients include arthralgia, back pain, bronchitis, cardiovascular events, chest pain, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, headache, hypoglycemia, nausea, paresthesia, rhinitis, sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, vomiting. [Pg.281]

A combination of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is effective treatment for a wide variety of infections including P jiroveci pneumonia, shigellosis, systemic salmonella infections, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, and some nontuberculous mycobacterial infections. It is active against most Staphylococcus aureus strains, both methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant, and against respiratory tract pathogens such as the pneumococcus, Haemophilus sp, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae (but not Mycoplasma pneumoniae). However, the increasing prevalence of strains of E coli (up to 30% or more) and pneumococci that are resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole must be considered before using this combination for empirical therapy of upper urinary tract infections or pneumonia. [Pg.1035]

The dosage for urinary tract infection in adults is 100 mg orally taken four times daily. The drug should not be used to treat upper urinary tract infection. Oral nitrofurantoin can be given for months for the suppression of chronic urinary tract infection. It is desirable to keep urinary pH below 5.5, which greatly enhances drug activity. A single daily dose of nitrofurantoin, 100 mg, can prevent recurrent urinary tract infections in some women. [Pg.1093]
