INTRODUCTION
• Symptomatic presence of
micro organisms within the
urinary tract. i.e., kidney,
ureters, bladder and urethra
• Associated with
inflammation of urinary
tract.
• Upper urinary tract infection:
The upper urinary tract consists of the kidneys and
ureters and infection to any of these is termed as
upper urinary tract infections.
• Lower urinary tract infection:
The lower urinary tract consists of the bladder and
urethra and infection to any of these is termed as
lower urinary tract infections
• MOST COMMON ORGANISMS WHICH CAUSE
UTIs
• Escherichia coli
• Enterobacter
• Pseudomas
• Serratia
• Staphylococcus saprophyticus
• Candida
OVERVIEW OF UTI TO AGE: -
The prevalence of urinary tract infections varies with
age and sex.
ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA
• Asymptomatic bacteriuria denotes significant
bacteriuria.
• If bacteria were isolated in quantitative counts
of ≥105 CFU/mL in a voided urine specimen
from asymptomatic patients.
• Common in pregnancy, patient with indwelling
catheter, and Diabetes Mellitus.
ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS:
• Acute Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the
kidney tissue, and renal pelvis. It is commonly
caused by bacterial infection that has spread up
the urinary tract or travelled through the
bloodstream to the kidneys.
CHRONIC
PYELONEPHRITIS: (Ayesha
Malik)
• Chronic pyelonephritis
is characterized by renal
inflammation and
fibrosis induced by
recurrent or persistent
renal infection or other
causes of urinary tract
obstruction. It is
associated with
progressive renal
scarring, which can lead
Factors that may affect the pathogenesis
of chronic pyelonephritis
• Pregnancy, which may lead to progression of
renal injury with loss of renal function
• Genetic factors
• Bacterial virulence factors
• Neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
UPPER VS LOWER URINARY
TRACT INFECTIONS:
• Infections of
the urethra (urethritis) and the
bladder (cystitis) are referred to
as lower urinary tract infections.
• Involvement of the ureters and
the kidneys (pyelonephritis) is
referred to as upper urinary tract
infections.
• Urethritis:
Inflammation of the urethra
• Cystitis:
Inflammation to urinary
URETHRAL SYNDROME:
• urethral syndrome (also known as frequency-
dysuria syndrome)
• Urethral syndrome is characterized by
urinary frequency, dysuria, and suprapubic
discomfort without any objective finding of
urological abnormalities. It is also
characterized by urinary frequency that is
typically worse during the day than during
the night.
PATHOGENESIS:
• 4 routes of bacterial entry to
urinary tract.
• Ascending infection
• Blood borne spread
• Lymphatogenous spread
• Direct extension from other organs
1. Ascending Infection:
• Most common route.
• Organisms ascend
through urethra into
bladder
2. Hematogenous spread:
• Blood borne spread to kidneys.
• Occurs in bacteraemia mostly S.aureus
3. Lymphatogenous spread:
• Men- through rectal and colonic lymphatic
vessels to prostrate and bladder.
• Women- through periuterine lymphatics to
urinary tract.
4. Direct extension from other
organs:
• Pelvic inflammatory diseases
• Genito-urinary tract fistulas
MANIFESTATIO
N OF UTI:
1.chronic
pyelonephritis:
• Chronic
pyelonephritis is
often asymptomatic.
There may be
features of acute or
recurrent infection.
• Fever
• Malaise
• Loin pain
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Dysuria
• Hypertension
• Features of CKD
• Anemia (in later
stages)
• Itching
2.ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS:
• Classic symptoms of pyelonephritis include a
sudden onset of chills, fever (body temperature of
38 °C or greater), and unilateral or bilateral flank
pain with costovertebral tenderness. In addition,
gastrointestinal symptoms can be also present in
acute pyelonephritis – namely abdominal pain,
diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
• Children younger than two years of age may only
present with a high fever without symptoms
related to the urinary tract. Other findings include
poor feeding, abdominal pain and lethargy.
3.CYSTITIS:
Cystitis signs and symptoms often include:
• A strong, persistent urge to urinate(urgency)
• A burning sensation when urinating
• Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
• Blood in the urine (hematuria)
• Passing cloudy or strong-smelling urine
• Pelvic discomfort
• A feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen
• Low-grade fever
• Pyuria (pus in urine)
4.URETHRITIS:
• There is ulceration of the urethra.
• The presence of itching.
• The presence of pus early micturition.
• Dysuria (painful urination )
• Difficulty starting urination, less heavy and
stopped while micturition (prostatism).
• Pain in the lower abdomen (supra pubic).
• Mucosal reddening and edema.
UTI DIAGNOSIS :
Microscopic examination of urine
Urinalysis
Urine culture
Imaging Techniques CT scan and MRI
Laboratory examination
Uncontaiminated , midstream sample is
used
Methods for urine collection
1.Stick on bags
2.cathaterization
3.Superapubic aspiration (SPA) gold
standard for urine collection
• LABORATORY FINDINGS
Abnormal findings
• pH – Alkaline ( increases)
• Appearance – cloudy
• Color - deep amber
• Odor – foul smelling
• Blood – maybe present
• Leukocyte esterase - present
• WBC- present
• Bacteria- present
• NormalFindings
• pH - 4.6 – 8.0
• Appearance- clear
• Color – pale to amber yellow
• Odor – aromatic
• Blood – none
• Leukocyte esterase – none
• WBC- absent
• Bacteria- absent
URINALYSIS :
• Presence of pus, white blood cells, red blood cells
• Bacterial count > 105 /ml – significant bacteriuria
• Leukocyte esterase dipstick test – WBC in urine
• Nitrite dipstick test- pink colour
URINE CULTURE :
For pyelonephritis
• Not a rapid diagnostic
tool
• >105 bacteria /ml
• Differential leukocyte
count- increased
neutrophils
Diagnostic tests for
adults with recurrent
UTI
• Intravenous
pyelography /
Urethral syndrom: (omama)
• 1000 mg of calcium carbonate or calcium citrate
• * 500 mg of magnesium oxide or magnesium malate
or magnesium citrate
• * 1000 mg of potassium bicarbonate or potassium
citrate
• Pharmacologic therapy is discussed in detail in
Medication. Medications include the following:
• Hormone replacement
• Anesthetics
• Antispasmodics
• Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)
• Muscle relaxants
• Alpha-blockers
Chronic pyelonephritis :
• The penicillins (amoxicillin) and first-generation
cephalosporins are the drugs of choice because
of good activity against gram-negative rods and
good oral bioavailability. In infants, the choice
of antibiotics is either amoxicillin or a first-
generation cephalosporin. In patients aged 3-6
months, therapy can be changed to
sulfamethoxazole or nitrofurantoin. Older
children and adults may be treated with
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
UPPER UTI TREATMENT:
• A high fluid intake is essential. Alkaline substances,
such as citrates, taken in water might improve
symptoms.
• By making the urine more alkaline, they make the
environment more hostile to bacterial growth and
improve the results of antibiotic therapy.
ephalosporins, nitrofurantoin and norfloxacin are the
first choices in patients with signs of upper UTI or
kidney infection. People with upper tract infections
are usually treated with a 10 to 14 day course of
antibiotic therapy. Those with severe upper tract
infections may require hospital treatment with
antibiotics given through a vein (intravenously). This
is especially true if nausea, vomiting and fever
TREATMENT:
• Uti is a problem of all age group and one of
the most common reason for prescrbing
antibiotics in which E.COLI is the most
frequent pathogen .
• Treatment for uncomplicated lower UTI:
• Best therapy would seems to be choice
between trimethoprim and oral cephalosporin
such as cefalxin, co-amoxiclav, or
nitrofurantoin .

TREATMENT OF ACUTE pyelonephritis:
Patient are severely ill in this condition so we
start parentral antibiotic when the patient is
improving the route of administration will be
switched to oral therapy.
ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA:
• It may or may not need treatment, it depends
pon the circumstances of the individual case. It
should be treated in pregnant women and
children.
• Oral antibiotics should be used (when tolerated)
instead of parenteral antibiotics to manage UTI in
children. hat short courses of antibiotics (two to
five days) may be as effective as longer courses
(seven to 14 days).
Erythromycin 250 to 500 mg four times daily
Nitrofurantoin 50 to 100 mg four times daily
Sulfisoxazol 1 g four times daily
Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 250 mg four times daily

TREATMENT OF ACUTE pyelonephritis:

Risk factor :
Female anatomy:
• A woman has a shorter urethra than a man
does, which shortens the distance that
bacteria must travel to reach the bladder.
Sexual activity:
• Sexually active women tend to have more
UTIs than do women who aren't sexually
active. Having a new sexual partner also
increases your risk.
• Certain types of birth control:
Menopause:
• After menopause, a decline in circulating
estrogen causes changes in the urinary tract that
make you more vulnerable to infection.
Prevention from UTI:
• Wipe from front to back:
• Doing so after urinating and after a bowel
movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal
region from spreading to the vagina and
urethra.
Clothing:
• Do not wear tight-fitting undergarments
made of nonbreathing materials.
Diet:
• Drink more water. Start with 1 extra glass
with each meal. Cranberry juice and cranberry
pills have unproven benefit in reducing
urinary infections. They appear to be most
effective in younger women.
ACTIVITIES:
• take special precautions after sexual activity;
such activity may also increase risk because it
can introduce bacteria into the bladder area.
Medications :
• An estrogen vaginal cream may help increase
resistance to bladder infections. An estrogen
cream for the vagina may be suggested for
women after menopause even
Sterilizing Washcloths for Home Use:
• Sterilizing washcloths for washing and personal
hygiene to help prevent recurrent UTIs may be
recommended.
• Wash the washcloths with hot water and soap in
a clothes washer. If a clothes washer is
unavailable, use soap and hot water in the sink.
Solution of case
study
WHY?
•According to Age (young), Non-
pregnant, symptoms (dysurea, urgency
frequency) and lab values (positive
protein, RBCs & Bacteria) we conclude
that the patient was suffering from
acute uncomplicated cystitis.
•Cystitis is an infection of the
bladder. This is most common in
women, and less common in
men. Now, we can also differentiate
cystitis, from uncomplicated cystitis
and we from complicated cystitis.
• Now, complicated cystitis is infection of the
urinary bladder, patient is also pregnant, a
male, has a foley catheter, or has some kind of
structural abnormality with their kidneys that
makes it more difficult to get rid of the
infection. May have diabetes or other type of
immunosuppression that will make eradicating
this disease process a little more difficult.
• These patients require a few extra things: a
longer duration of therapy and closer
monitoring because there can be more
complications and are more prone to develop
into pyelonephritis.
UTI IN LIGHT OF NEW RESEARCHES
(safia)
1.Antibiotic Prophylaxis and Recurrent Urinary
Tract Infection in Children
• Long-term, low-dose trimethoprim–
sulfamethoxazole was associated with a
decreased number of urinary tract infections in
predisposed children.
2.Prevalence of urinary tract infection in febrile
infants
• Urinary tract infection (UTI), a relatively
common cause of fever in infancy, usually
consists of pyelonephritis and may cause
3.Guidelines for management of children
with urinary tract infection and vesico-
ureteric reflux.
• The aim is to limit renal damage and future
complications, with minimal discomfort to
the child. The recommendations include
increased attention to bladder dysfunction,
shortening of the time of antibacterial
prophylaxis and focus on renal
development and function rather than on
reflux.
