She also refused treatment and surgery needed for her condition. She also opted to choose HAMA, and not seek further treatment. Pyelonephritis is an infection of the renal parenchyma. Infection usually occurs in a retrograde ascending fashion from the bladder, but it may occur hematogenously. The ureteral orifice becomes edematous and loses its one-way valve function during infection. a.Current Trends (Pyelonephritis): Acute pyelonephritis can occur at any age. In neonates it is 1.5 times more common in boys and tends to be associated with abnormalities of the renal tract. Uncircumcised boys tend to have a higher incidence than circumcised boys. Beyond that age girls have a 10-fold higher incidence. In adult life it reflects the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in that it is much more common in young women. Over 65 the incidence in men rises to match that of women. Glomerulonephritis (GN) comprises 25-30% of all cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). About one fourth of patients present with acute nephritis syndrome. Most cases that progress do so relatively quickly, and end-stage renal failure may occur within weeks or months of acute nephritic syndrome onset.Geographic and seasonal variations in the prevalence of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) are more marked for pharyngeally associated GN than for cutaneously associated disease. PGN has no predilection for any racial or ethnic group. A higher incidence (related to poor hygiene) may be observed in some socioeconomic group. Acute GN predominantly affects males (2:1 male-to-female ratio). PGN can occur at any age. Acute glomerulonephritis refers to a specific set of renal diseases in which an immunologic mechanism triggers inflammation and proliferation of glomerular tissue that can result in damage to the basement membrane, mesangium, or capillary endothelium. Hippocrates originally described the manifestation of back pain and hematuria, which lead to oliguria or anuria. With the development of the microscope, Langhans was later able to describe these pathophysiologic glomerular changes.Most original research focuses on the poststreptococcal patient. Acute glomerulonephritis is defined as the sudden onset of hematuria, proteinuria, and red blood cell casts. This clinical picture is often accompanied by hypertension, edema, and impaired renal function. Acute glomerulonephritis can be due to a primary renal or systemic disease.Glomerulonephritis represents 10-15% of glomerular diseases. Variable incidence has been reported due in part to the subclinical nature of the disease in more than one half the affected population. Despite sporadic outbreaks, incidence of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis has fallen over the last few decades. Factors responsible for this decline may include better health care delivery and improved socioeconomic conditions.
With some exceptions, a reduction in the incidence of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis has occurred in most western countries. It remains much more common in regions such as Africa, the Caribbean, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and South America. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy glomerulonephritis is the most common cause of glomerulonephritis worldwide. Most epidemic cases follow a course ending in complete patient recovery (as many as 100%). Sporadic cases of acute nephritis often progress to a chronic form. This progression occurs in as many as 30% of adult patients and 10% of pediatric patients. Glomerulonephritis is the most common cause of chronic renal failure (25%). The mortality rate of acute glomerulonephritis in the most commonly affected age group, pediatric patients, has been reported at 0-7% .A male-to-female ratio of 2:1 has been reported.Most cases occur in patients aged 5-15 years and only 10% occur in patients older than 40 years. Acute nephritis may occur at any age, including infancy. Gastritis is a condition in which the stomach liningknown as the mucosais inflamed. The stomach lining contains special cells that produce acid and enzymes, which help break down food for digestion, and mucus, which protects the stomach lining from acid. When the stomach lining is inflamed, it produces less acid, enzymes, and mucus. Gastritis, an inflammation or irritation of the lining of the stomach, is not a single disease. Rather, gastritis is a condition that has many causes. Current trends (Gastrititis): Age-related trends of gastritis and intestinal metaplasia (IM) were studied in 476 endoscopically examined and bioptically proved cases of gastric carcinoma (GC), 263 of which were of intestinal (IGC) and 213 of diffuse (DGC) types. Endoscopic biopsy specimens from the area around the tumour were available in all cases, and from the antrum and/or body distant from the tumour area in 238 cases. A representative sample of an endoscopically and bioptically examined Finnish population consisting of 431 subjects was used as control material. In patients with IGC the prevalence of atrophic gastritis in the gastric area affected by the tumour was higher and that of superficial gastritis lower than expected and the age-group scores of gastritis and IM were situated above the age-dependent line of gastritis scores of controls in all age groups studied. This was seen to indicate a more rapid progression of gastritis in IGC patients than in the population at large. In the opposite area of the stomach, i.e. in the tumour-free area, the progression of gastritis and IM was virtually similar to that in controls. No such differences were seen with regard to DGC. It is concluded that IGC is dynamically closely linked to gastritis and IM, while in DGC no such relationship is demonstrable.
b. Reasons of choosing such case for presentation The group chose this study out of curiosity as it was our first time to encounter such case and because of that, the group was interested in it. We were willing to undergo new experiences which would bring new learning for the group as most of us have not been exposed yet to the diseases that we encountered. Another reason was that it was one of the suggestions of our clinical instructor to be used in making case study.
c. Importance of the case study This case study will help the group in understanding the disease process of the patient. This would also help the group in identifying the primary needs of the patient with PN. By identifying such needs and health problems of the patient associated with the disease and understanding why such needs and health problems arise the group can now formulate an individualized care plan for the patient that would address these needs and problems effectively. Effective management of the problems identified will help the patient to recover faster and maintain a holistic sense of sense of wellness even while in the hospital. This case study would also equip the group with knowledge, skills and attitude on how to manage future patients with the same or similar disease. d. Objectives (Nurse Centered) - To gain new information about the patients disease and its etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations as well as the standard medical and nursing management so that we may apply this newly-acquired knowledge to our patient as well as similar situations in the future. - To learn new clinical skills as well as sharpen our current clinical skills required in the management of the patient with Pyelonephritis, Gastritis, Intestinal destruction, and colonic tumor. - To develop our sense of unselfish love and empathy in rendering nursing care to our patient so that we may be able to serve future clients with a higher level of holistic understanding as well as individualized care. Objectives ( Client-centered) - To provide the client with sufficient health information to help her cope with her condition. - To make the client aware of the things she needs to modify in order to maintain a healthy body and lifestyle and to prevent further complications brought about by many diseases - To make the patient aware of the importance of sufficient fluid intake and following proper diet in order to be healthy.

Surgical Management
Exploratory Lapatotomy A laparotomy is a large incision made into the abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy is used to visualize and examine the structures inside of the abdominal cavity.Exploratory laparotomy is a method of abdominal exploration, a diagnostic tool that allows physicians to examine the abdominal organs. The procedure may be recommended for a patient who has abdominal pain of unknown origin or who has sustained an injury to the abdomen. Injuries may occur as a result of blunt trauma (e.g., road traffic accident) or penetrating trauma (e.g., stab or gunshot wound). Because of the nature of the abdominal organs, there is a high risk of infection if organs rupture or are perforated. In addition, bleeding into the abdominal cavity is considered a medical emergency. Exploratory laparotomy is used to determine the source of pain or the extent of injury and perform repairs if needed. Laparotomy may be performed to determine the cause of a patient's symptoms or to establish the extent of a disease. For example, endometriosis is a disorder in which cells from the inner lining of the uterus grow elsewhere in the body, most commonly on the pelvic and abdominal organs. Endometrial growths, however, are difficult to visualize using standard imaging techniques such as x ray, ultrasound technology, or computed tomography (CT) scanning. Exploratory laparotomy may be used to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs (such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, and rectum) for evidence of endometriosis. Any growths found may then be removed.Exploratory laparotomy plays an important role in the
staging of certain cancers. Cancer staging is used to describe how far a cancer has spread. A laparotomy enables a surgeon to directly examine the abdominal organs for evidence of cancer and remove samples of tissue for further examination. When laparotomy is used for this use, it is called staging laparotomy or pathological staging.
Hemicolectomy Hemicolectomy (also referred to as right or left hemicolectomy) is a partial colon-removal procedure in which surgeons excise the right (ascending) part of the colon or the left (descending) side of the colon. The procedure is relatively common for treating diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, benign or malignant polyps of the colon, and colon cancer. The hemicolectomy procedure traditionally begins with an incision in the abdomen, opening the area for access to the colon. Thereafter, the surgeon cuts away the infected or injured portions of the colon and reattaches the remaining tissue. Open surgery has long been the preferred method for hemicolectomy, but innovations in the field have allowed for less invasive colon resection treatments. By making smaller incisions and using a lighted scope (laparoscope) within the abdomen walls, surgeons can access the diseased portion without causing too much damage. Laparoscopic technology helps reduce many of the inherent risks of more open surgery. After hemicolectomy procedures, the surgeon either reconnects the bowel with stitches or creates an opening in the abdominal wall, called a colostomy, to allow the bowels to remove excrement. Surgeons dont make this decision lightly, because if the colonic sections pull free of the stitches, excrement can contaminate the body leading to disease and possibly death. Although colostomy is the safer choice, it carries several lifelong burdens (mental, physical, and emotional) on the patient.
Anastomosis
An anastomosis is a surgical connection between two structures. It usually means a connection that is created between tubular structures, such as blood vessels or loops of intestine. For example, when part of an intestine is surgically removed, the two remaining ends are sewn or stapled together (anastomosed), and the procedure is referred to as an intestinal anastomosis.

III. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY ANATOMY OF THE STOMACH The stomach is an expanded section of the digestive tube between the esophagus and small intestine. Its characteristic shape is shown, along with terms used to describe the major regions of the stomach. The right side of the stomach is called the greater curvature and the left the lesser curvature. The most distal and narrow section of the stomach is termed the pylorus - as food is liquefied in the stomach it passes through the pyloric canal into the small intestine. The wall of the stomach is structurally similar to other parts of the digestive tube, with the exception that the stomach has an extra oblique layer of smooth muscle inside the circular layer, which aids in performance of complex grinding motions. In the empty state, the stomach is contracted and its mucosa and submucosa are thrown up into distinct folds called rugae; when distended with food, the rugae are "ironed out" and flat. The image below shows rugae on the surface of a stomach.
ANATOMY OF THE INTESTINE The large intestine is a hollow muscular tube about five feet in length. (See the graphic below) It is divided into the cecum,colon, and rectum. The cecum comprises the first two or three inches of the large intestine. The colon is subdivided into the ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon. The sigmoid colon bends toward the left as it joins the rectum which allows gravity to aid the flow of water from the rectum into the sigmoid colon. (This is the rationale for lying on the left side when receiving an enema.)
The last portion of the large intestine is the rectum which extends from the sigmoid colon to the anus (about six inches.) The last inch of the rectum is called the anal canal. It contains the internal and external regulating sphincters which play an important role in regulating defecation. Muscle contractions in the colon push the stool toward the anus. By the time it reaches the rectum, it is solid because most of the water has been absorbed. The nerve supply to the large intestine contains both parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves. In general, stimulation of the sympathetic fibers inhibits activity in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It also excites the ileocecal sphincter and the internal anal sphincter. Thus, stimulation of the sympathetic fibers can totally block movement of food through the GI tract both by inhibition of the wall and closure of two major sphincters. Stimulation of the parasympathetic fibers causes an increase in bowel activity and in the defecation reflexes The movement of the intestinal contents in the large intestine is slow. Mass peristalsis, which is a contraction involving a large segment of the colon, moves the fecal mass into the sigmoid colonwhere it is stored. It occurs two to three times per day, especially after breakfast. Defecation is a reflex involving the muscles of the anal canal and terminal bowel. Entry of the fecal mass into the rectum distends the rectal walls and stimulates mass peristaltic movements of the bowel which moves the feces toward the anus. As the fecal mass nears the anus, the internal anal sphincter is inhibited and if the external anal sphincter is relaxed (under voluntary control), defecation will occur. Defecation is also facilitated by an increase in intraabdominal pressure brought about by contraction of the chest muscles and simultaneous contraction of the abdominal muscles (Valsalva's maneuver or straining.)
ANATOMY OF THE SMALL INTESTINE The small intestine is a part of the digestive system. The digestive system consists of the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. The small intestine is the part that connects the stomach and the large intestine. This is the main region where maximum amount of absorption of food takes place. The small intestine is so named not because it is small, it measures on an average five meters (sixteen feet), when uncoiled. This part of the gastrointestinal tract is called the small intestine because it is only 2.5 - 3 cm in diameter. The small intestine is divided into three parts - the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. Given below are details regarding the small intestine anatomy. Small Intestine Anatomy and Physiology Duodenum The duodenum is the first section of the region of the small intestine that precedes the jejunum and the ileum. This is the shortest part of the intestine where most of the initial biochemical reactions take place. The duodenum is around 25 - 30 cm in length and it connects the stomach to the jejunum. It begins with a structure called the duodenal bulb and ends at the ligament of Treitz. The duodenum has the primary function of aiding in breakdown of food in the small intestine with the help of enzymes. Brunner's glands, which are a part of the glandular epithelium, are present in the duodenum and are responsible for secreting mucus. The duodenum also has the function of regulating the rate of emptying the stomach with the help of hormones, thus, preventing the occurrence of dumping syndrome. The duodenum is also responsible for secreting hormones like secretin and cholcystekinin. The duodenal lining consists of a very thin layer of cells which form the muscularis mucosae. Jejenum The jejunum is the middle section of the small intestine that is present between the duodenum and the ileum. The transition from the duodenum and the jejunum is called the ligament of Treitz. The jejunum is around 2.5m in length. The jejunum has a pH of around 7 to 8, that is, it is either neutral or slightly alkaline in nature. This kind of pH is brought about with the help of the bile, which is carried by the bile duct coming from the gallbladder. The pH in this region is maintained at 7 to 8 because, 7 to 8 is the optimum pH for the functioning of the enzymes in this region. The jejunum and the ileum are suspended in the abdomen by the mesentery, which gives them space for bowel movement. It is wrapped by smooth muscle that helps to move food forward, which is known as peristalsis. The microscopic structure of the jejunum consists of mucous membrane, which contains projections known as villi, which are a characteristic feature of small intestine anatomy. These villi are folded and convoluted, which eventually increase their surface area many fold, thus, increasing the amount of surface area available for absorption. The transport of nutrients across
these villi is in the form of both active ans passive transport. The villi in the jejunum are longer than the villi in the ileum. Ileum The ileum is the last part of the small intestine, which follows the jejunum. It eventually gives rise to the cecum, from which it is separated by the ileocecal valve. The ileum is the longest part of the small intestine, measuring around 2 - 4m. It is also responsible for performing most of the small intestine function. This region has a pH that is neutral to alkaline. The main function of the ileum is to absorb vitamin B12 and bile salts, along with whatever is not absorbed by the jejunum. The wall of the ileum is also made up of many villi, which as in the jejunum, increase the surface area for absorption of digested food and adsorption of enzymes. Thus, this was all about the small intestine anatomy. The small intestine anatomy is quite different from the large intestine anatomy, as their functions are different. However, the intestine is the main part that is responsible for absorption of digested food. If there is any kind of deviation from this anatomy and functioning of the small intestine, it could lead to various small intestine problems, which could be difficult to deal with.
ANATOMY OF THE SPLEEN The spleen, in healthy adult humans, is approximately 11 centimetres (4.3 in) in length. It usually weighs between 150 grams (5.3 oz) and 200 grams (7.1 oz) and lies beneath the 9th to the 12th thoracic ribs. Like the thymus, the spleen possesses only efferent lymphatic vessels. The spleen is part of the lymphatic system. Both the short gastric arteries and the splenic artery supply it with blood.
The germinal centers are supplied by arterioles called penicilliary radicles. The spleen is unique in respect to its development within the gut. While most of the gut viscera are endodermally derived (with the exception of the neural-crest derived suprarenal gland), the spleen is derived from mesenchymal tissue. Specifically, the spleen forms within, and from, the dorsal mesentery. However, it still shares the same blood supply the celiac trunk as the foregut organs. Function

"lymphoid follicles" (or "follicles"), rich in B-lymphocytes "periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths" (PALS), rich in T-lymphocytes
Other functions of the spleen are less prominent, especially in the healthy adult: Production of opsonins, properdin, and tuftsin. Creation of red blood cells. While the bone marrow is the primary site of hematopoiesis in the adult, the spleen has important hematopoietic functions up until the fifth month of gestation. After birth, erythropoietic functions cease, except in some hematologic disorders. As a major lymphoid organ and a central player in the reticuloendothelial system, the spleen retains the ability to produce lymphocytes and, as such, remains an hematopoietic organ. Storage of red blood cells and other formed elements. In horses roughly 30% of the red blood cells are stored there. The red blood cells can be released when needed. In humans, up to a cup (236.5ml) of red blood cells can be held in the spleen and released in cases of hypovolemia. It can also store platelets in case of an emergency. In mice, the spleen stores half the body's monocytes so that upon injury they can migrate to the injured tissue and transform into dendritic cells and macrophages and so assist wound healing.
ANATOMY OF THE KIDNEY The Human Renal System The human renal system is made up of two kidneys, two ureters, the urinary bladder, and the urethra. In addition to the production of urine the renal system has many other functions.
One quarter to one fifth of cardiac output passes through the kidneys at all times. This means that the kidneys filter approximately 1.2 liters of blood every minute. It is therefore not surprising that even slight abnormalities of renal function quickly lead to electrolyte disturbances. If untreated death will occur.
The Kidneys The kidneys are two bean shaped organs of the renal system located on the posterior wall of the abdomen one on each side of the vertebral column at the level of the twelfth rib. The left kidney is slightly higher than the right. Why do you think that the right kidney is lower than the left? (Q1). Human kidneys are richly supplied with blood vessels which give them their reddish brown color. The kidneys measure about 10cm in length and, 5cm in breadth and about 2.5 cm in thickness. The kidneys are protected by three highly specialized layers of protective tissues. The outer layer consists mainly of connective tissue which protects the kidneys from trauma and infection. This layer is often called the renal fascia or fibrous membrane. The technical name for this layer is the renal capsule. The next layer (second layer from the exterior) is called the fascia and it makes a fibrous capsule around the kidneys. This layer connects the kidneys to the abdominal wall. The inner most layer is made up of adipose tissue and is essentially a layer of fatty tissue which forms a protective cushions the kidney; and the renal capsule (fibrous sac) surrounds the kidney and protects it from trauma and infection. Blood and Nerve Supply: The kidneys receive their oxygenated blood supply from the renal arteries which come off the abdominal portion of the aorta. Venous blood from the kidneys drains into the renal veins to join the abdominal portion of the inferior vena cava. The hilum of the kidneys is located toward the smaller curvature. The opening in the hilum allows for the entry and exit of blood vessels and nerves. The funnel shaped extension of the kidneys is called the renal pelvis and it connects the kidneys to the two ureters. This structure facilitates the collection of the urine from the kidneys and drainage to the urinary bladder.

b. Synthesis of the Disease i. Definition of the disease Colorectal Cancer Colorectal cancer, less formally known as bowel cancer, is a cancer characterized by neoplasia in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix. Colorectal cancer is clinically distinct from anal cancer, which affects the anus. Colorectal cancers start in the lining of the bowel. If left untreated, it can grow into the muscle layers underneath, and then through the bowel wall, most begin as a small growth on the bowel wall: a colorectal polyp or adenoma. These mushroom-shaped growths are usually benign, but some develop into cancer over time. Localized bowel cancer is usually diagnosed through colonoscopy. Acute Gastritis Gastritis is a condition in which the stomach liningknown as the mucosais inflamed. The stomach lining contains special cells that produce acid and enzymes, which help break down food for digestion, and mucus, which protects the stomach lining from acid. When the stomach lining is inflamed, it produces less acid, enzymes, and mucus. Gastritis, an inflammation or irritation of the lining of the stomach, is not a single disease. Rather, gastritis is a condition that has many causes. Common to all people with gastritis is pain or discomfort in the upper part of the belly (abdomen), sometimes called dyspepsia. Gastritis can be a brief and sudden illness (acute gastritis), a longer-lasting condition (chronic gastritis), or a special condition, perhaps as part of another medical illness. Gastritis is associated with various medications, medical and surgical conditions, physical stresses, social habits, chemicals, and infections. Acute Pyelonephritis Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in the urethra or bladder and travels up into the kidneys. The most common causative organisms are bowel flora, typically gram-negative rods. Escherichia coli is the most commonly isolated organism from patients with UTIs. However, any organism that gains access to the urinary tract system may cause infection, including fungi (Candida species) and viruses. In some instances, UTI results in recognition of an important underlying structural or neurogenic abnormality of the urinary tract.

DIAGNOSIS
SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION Acute pain related to acute inflammation of renal tissues. Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the kidney and upper urinary tract that usually results from noncontiguous bacterial infection of the bladder (cystitis). It presents with dysuria (painful voiding of urine), abdominal pain (radiating to the back on the affected side) and tenderness of the bladder area and the side of the involved kidney ("renal angle tenderness"). In many cases there are systemic symptoms in the form of fever, rigors (violent shivering while

VII. Learning Derived This case study will help the group in understanding the disease process of the patient. This would also help the group in identifying the primary needs of the patient with. By identifying such needs and health problems of the patient associated with the disease and understanding why such needs and health problems arise the group can now formulate an individualized care plan for the patient that would address these needs and problems effectively. Effective management of the problems identified will help the patient to recover faster and maintain a holistic sense of sense of wellness even while in the hospital. This case study would also equip the group with knowledge, skills and attitude on how to manage future patients with the same or similar disease. We learned how to effectively connect diseases to each other in creating our pathophysiology for our patient.
VIII. Conclusions and Recommendation In this case, we learned on how to think critically and to create a care plan effectively for our patients. In this study, we experienced firsthand on how to handle a patient with multiple complications due to a current disease condition. We also learned that it should be vital to assess the condition of the patient in order to provide the best possible care to the patient. We recommend to the patient that she should adhere strictly and comply with the treatment procedures administered to cure her disease. We also would like to recommend health information and teachings in order to promote a healthy lifestyle and to avoid further disease and complications.
