Chapter 11: Diseases and Conditions of the Urinary System: Prognosis Flashcards
what is the prognosis of Acute Glomerulonephritis
resolve within 2 weeks and the patient experiences spontaneous recovery
what is the prognosis of Chronic Glomerulonephritis
variable according to extent of destruction to the kidney and patient’s response to therapy
what is the prognosis of Nephrotic Syndrome (Nephrosis)
variable according to extent of destruction to the kidney and patient’s response to therapy
what is the prognosis of Acute Renal Failure
prompt treatment of ARF is reversible and recovery is rapid and complete; depends on cause and response to treatment
what is the prognosis of Chronic Renal Failure
variable depending on etiology; no total cure is known
what is the prognosis of Pyelonephritis
early detection and prompt treatment usually result in good prognosis
what is the prognosis of Hydronephrosis
obstruction has been resolved, may return to normal function; present for extended period damage may result
what is the prognosis of Renal Calculi
good after successful removal or spontaneous passage of stone; additional stone formation possible
what is the prognosis of Infectious Cystitis and Urethritis
lower urinary tract infections respond well to antibiotic drug therapy
what is the prognosis of Diabetic Nephropathy
varied based on the stage at which intervention begins; no cure; ESRD is the last outcome
what is the prognosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease
no cure is known; depends on severity
what is the prognosis of Neurogenic Bladder
no cure for neurologic defect that caused the bladder dysfunction is possible; drug therapy may be helpful
what is the prognosis of Stress Incontinence
varies depending on etiology (mostly good prognosis)
what is the prognosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma
pathologic stage at diagnosis; histologic evaluation of resected tumor
what is the prognosis of Bladder Tumors
stage is the most important independent prognosis indicator for disease progrssion and overall survival; once invasive outside the bladder or nodal disease is detected, outcome is very poor
