  2. Emphysematous pyelonephritis
  3. Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis
17
Q

Bacteremia is a common finding associated with what type of UTI?

A

Pyelonephritis

18
Q

Papillary necrosis can occur in pts with what 4 underlying conditions?

A
  1. Obstruction
  2. Diabetes
  3. Sickle cell
  4. Analgesic nephropathy
19
Q

Emphysematous pyelonephritis occurs almost excusively in which patients?

A

Diabetics

20
Q

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis occurs when what 2 pre-disposing factors lead to suppurative destruction of renal tissue?

Can lead to formation of what?

A
  • Chronic obstruction (often by staghorn calculi) + Chronic infection
  • Can lead to abscess formation
21
Q

How does bacteremia (often seen in pyelonephritis), differ from sepsis?

A
  • Bacteremia simply means blood cultures are +
  • Sepsis is suspected or documented infection and an acute increase in organ failure + dysregulated host response to infection
22
Q

Septic shock is defined as serum lactate >?

A

>2 mmol/L (18 mg/dL)

23
Q

Sepsis with hypotension that cannot be reversed with infusion of fluids or there is need for vasopressors to maintain BP, is known as?

A

Septic shock

24
Q

In acute ischemia there is decreased O2 delivery and impaired removal of cellular waste leading to the upregulation of what factors that can cause direct tubular damage?

A

Endotoxins and inflammatory cytokines

25
Q

What are the possibly harmful systemic responses to sepsis/septic shock (i.e., HR, BP, temperature…)?

A
  • Fever or Hypothermia
  • Tachypnea
  • Tachycardia
  • Leukocytosis, leukopenia, or >10% bands
26
Q

What is the FENa associated with sepsis/ischemia leading to pre-renal azotemia?

A

<1%

27
Q

What is the BUN/Cr ratio associated with sepsis/iscehmia indicating pre-renal azotemia?

A

>20:1

28
Q

What is the urine osmolality associated with pre-renal azotemia (i.e., ischemia/sepsis)?

A

>500 mOsmol/Kg H2O

29
Q

What type of casts associated with pre-renal azotemia?

A
