Epidemiology Nephritis

Urinary Tract Infection, especially nephritis can be found at all age levels. The highest prevalence in young women and men over 50 years. About 20% of women had experienced attacks urinary tract infection. Female child and adult women have the incidence of urinary tract infection and nephritis is higher than men, probably because of the shorter urethra and its location adjacent to the anus so easily contaminated by feces.
Epidemiological investigation showed significant bacteriuria (10 ^ 5 organisms / ml urine) at 1 to 4% girl students, 5 to 10% in women of childbearing age, and about 25% of women whose age exceeds 60 years (Papper, 1978), but only a few cases which showed clinical symptoms of urinary tract infection and nephritis.
However, further research is done on the long term of school age girls said that girls who have had bacteriuria will be even more susceptible to urinary tract infection and replication nephritis in adult life, usually not long after marriage or during first pregnancy (Kunin, 1987).
Although urinary tract infection and nephritis is responsible for the morbidity is quite high, but rarely result in nephritis and end-stage renal disease, except in cases of illness was not accompanied by real urologic damage in childhood - usually reflux severe vesi-koureter . Infection in men is rare, and when there are usually caused by obstruction.

Etiology Nephritis

Etiology nephritis
The cause of nephritis is very much that can be divided into major groups:


1. Primary glomerular disease (primary glomerulonefropati)


2. Secondary glomerular disorders, because of other diseases:
• Infections: syphilis, malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, viral.
• Nefrotoksin: diuretic mercury, bismuth, gold.
• Allergens: bee stings, snake bites, pollen.
• Diseases of the connective tissue / collagen: SLE, periarteritis nodosa, Goodpasture disease, dermatomiosistis, giant cell arteritis.
• Other diseases: Hodgkin's lymphoma, myeloma, leukemia, diabetes mellitus, Miksedema, Phaeochromocytoma, congestive heart failure, SBE, constrictive pericarditis, amyloidosis, renal vein thrombosis, inferior vena cava obstruction.

Case Review Nephritis

A clinical syndrome that can be caused by many diseases, characterized by increased permeability of glomerular capillary basement membrane of the protein with the primary symptom of proteinuria> 3.5 grams / 24 hours.
Nephritis is an inflammatory disease of bilateral kidneys. Inflammation begins in the glomerulus and manifests as proteinuria and / or hematuria. Although the lesions are mainly found in the glomerulus, but the entire nephron in the end was damaged, resulting in chronic renal failure. The disease was originally described by Richard Bright in 1827 (Bright disease), now known to be a collection of many diseases with multiple etiologies (mostly unknown), although the immune response seems to cause some forms of nephritis.

From the study of an issue with the above problems can be formulated as follows:
1. What is the cause of nephritis?
2. How epidemiology of nephritis?
3. How pathology of nephritis?
4. How to nephritis clinical manifestations?
5. How disease management for nephritis?
6. How is that done on the nursing process nephritis?
7. What is the process of nephritis in the body?
8. How nursing diagnosis used in nephritis?

Diagnosis of nephritis

Nephritis was diagnosed by evaluating a patient's history and possible genetic precursors to nephritis. Currently there are no, the recent history of strep throat or bladder infection may show symptoms of nephritis. People who have lupus are usually predisposed them to nephritis and urged to report signs of swelling in their feet to the doctor as soon as possible. In addition, pain in the kidneys, both on the lower back, to show the development of nephritis. 

Your doctor also may order laboratory tests, since the analysis of urine can be significant in helping to diagnose excess protein in urine stream, and the presence of infection. Blood tests also can help diagnose nephritis.Physical examination may reveal the kidneys are swollen, and in some cases, magnetic resonance (MRI) was used to evaluate the amount of swelling.
 

Infection nephritis is easier to prevent if a patient with strep throat or bladder infection is diagnosed early and stick to taking the appropriate antibiotics. One contractor may reduce inflammation of the kidneys from the bladder urine or respiratory infection with a few simple behavioral changes. This includes maintaining personal hygiene when using the bathroom, such as wiping front to back, drink plenty of water, and pee every few hours to empty the bladder, no fee for that it's simple. Genetic lupus nephritis and cause were not prevented.

Excess Protein in Urine Stream

As nephritis, they begin to need to remove the protein from the body into the urine. This condition is called proteinuria. Loss of protein is required for nephritis can cause some symptoms of the soul. Most dangerous in the case of nephritis is the loss of a protein that keeps blood from clotting. 

This can cause the blood to suddenly cause a stroke.Nephritis cause additional problems such as water storage, as the kidneys can not function properly to rid the body of water. Storage of water or edema, can further lead to swelling in the feet, ankles, legs and hands. Secondary symptoms are usually treated with diuretics such as Lasix ®, furosemide generic name, which can help reduce pain and edema associated with swelling.

Especially, nephritis tend to be treated with antibiotics and sometimes with steroids, especially in cases that will be caused by Lupus. Nephritis is when not associated with lupus, but may go into remission. Approximately half of cases associated with Lupus, and with a legacy of nephritis go into remission. If nephritis is caused by infection, it is considered aggressive with antibiotics. This treatment should be intravenous antibiotics for several weeks if the infection has been present for a long time, and if it is particularly severe infection. This means tend to hospitalization.

Infection Nephritis

Urinary Tract Infection is a problem that is often found in the clinic. In the United States recorded 7 million outpatient visits and 1 million inpatient treatment for a urinary tract infection every year.

Urinary Tract Infection can be found at all age levels. High prevalence in young women and men over 50 years. About 20% of women had experienced attacks urinary tract infection. Also Urinary Tract Infection is a problem of women, because of issues related to sexually active and fertile period in his life. Plus there are several clinical manifestations of urinary tract infection may be difficult at the time of enforcement of diagnosis or therapy, such as bakteriuri without symptoms and urinary tract infections in pregnancy.


Nephritis or nephritis refers to inflammation of one or both of two waist. This can be caused by infection, but is most often caused by an autoimmune disorder that affects major organs. For example, people with lupus are at higher risk for developing nephritis.In rare cases nephritis or nephritis refers to inflammation of one or both of two waist.This can be caused by infection, but is most often caused by an autoimmune disorder that affects major organs.
