Pathogenesis
Protective mechanisms of urinary tract
Under normal circumstances, bacteria
placed in the bladder are rapidly
cleared.
Through the flushing and dilutional
effects of voiding
The antibacterial properties of the
urine and the bladder mucosa
High urea concentration and high
osmolarity
Pathogenesis of UTIs
Aggressive diagnostic
work-ups are
unwarranted in young
women presenting with
an uncomplicated
episode of cystitis.
Conditions affecting
pathogrnesis
Obstruction
impediment to the free flow of
urine
such as tumor, structure
abnormality, stone and prostatic
hypertrophy can cause
hydronephrosis and UTI
may lead to rapid destruction of
renal tissue
Conditions affecting
pathogrnesis
Pregnancy
about 2%-8% in pregnant women,
part of women with asymptomatic will
subsequently develop bacteriuria and
pyelonephritis
reasons: results from decreased
ureteral tone and decreased ureteral
peristalsis, or temporary incompetence
of the vesicoureteral valves
Conditions affecting
pathogrnesis
Neurogenic bladder dysfuction
Interference with bladder

Note: All other
appendages
are fimbriae

Suprapubic catheter:
its use is associated with a lower incidence
of bacteriuria in postoperative care
any infections are treated as any other
infections associated with urinary
treatment
Asymptomatic bacteriuria
In noncatheterized patients is common,
especially among elderly patients, but
has not been linked to adverse
outcomes in most circumstances, thus
antimirobial therapy is unnecessary.
But patients with high-risk patients with
neutropenia, renal transplants,
obstruction, or other complicating
conditions may require treatment
Complications
Papillary necrosis
Risk factors: vascular diseases of the
kidney, urinary tract obstruction,
diabetes, chronic alcoholism
Manifestations: hematuria, pain in the
flank or abdomen, chills and fever,
acute renal failure,
Diagnosis: necrotic tissue pass in the
urine, or a “ring shadow” on
pyelography
prognosis
Uncomplicated cystitis or
pyelonephritis, results in complete
resolution
Cytitis may result in upper tract
infection or in bacteremia, but seldom
develop renal impairment
Repeated upper tract infection will lead
to renal dysfunction, a search for renal
calculi or urologic abnormality should
be taken
prevention
Women experience frequent
symptomatic UTI (>3 thrice/year), long-
term administration of low-dose
antibiotics should be given to prevent
recurrences
Daily or thrice/week administration of a
single dose of TMP-SMX, or
nitrofurantoin has been particulary
effective
Women should be advised to avoid
spermicide use, and to void soon after
sexual intercourse
After voiding, wipe from front to back
