poorly localized abdominal discomfort (symptoms are vague).




What is pyelonephritis? CORRECT ANS-it is an infection of one or both upper urinary

tracts(ureter, renal pelvis, and kidney interstitium).

What do the microorganisms that cause pyelonephritis do to increase the risk of stone

formation? CORRECT ANS-the microorganisms split urea into ammonia, making alkaline

urine that increases the risk.




Define painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis). CORRECT ANS-it is a condition that

includes nonbacterial infectious cystitis and noninfectious cystitis.




It is possible that noninfectious cystitis is caused by an autoimmune response. What happens

during an autoimmune reaction? CORRECT ANS-it may be responsible for inflammatory

response, which includes mast cell activation, altered epithelial permeability,

neuroinflammation, and increased sensory nerve stimulation.




How is a diagnosis of IC differentiated from a diagnosis of pyelonephritis? CORRECT ANS-

urine culture, urinalysis, and clinical signs and symptoms. White blood cell casts indicate

pyelonephritis, but they are not always present in the urine.

that cause glomerular inflammation through immune mechanisms.




What happens to the GFR during an inflammatory response? CORRECT ANS-the glomerular

capillary filtration membrane including the endothelium, basement membrane, and

epithelium (podocytes) are damaged by inflammation causing immune mechanisms.




What are the classic symptoms of acute glomerulonephritis? CORRECT ANS-sudden onset

of hematuria including red blood cell casts and proteinuria (milder than nephrotic syndrome),

and in more severe cases, these symptoms are also accompanied by edema, hypertension,

and impaired renal function.
