Renal System Assessment
• Physical assessment
– Palpation, percussion
• Health history
– Previous UTIs, calculi, stasis, retention, pregnancy, STDs, bladder cancer
– Meds: antibiotics, anticholinergics, antispasmodics
– Urologic instrumentation
– Urinary hygiene
– Patterns of elimination

External Defects
Hypospadius / Epispadius

• Epispadias– Congenital urethral defect in which
the uretheral opening is on the upper aspect of the penis and not on the end
![Page 10: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Hypospadias– Congenital urethral defect in which the uretheral opening is on the lower aspect of the penis and not on the tip. May have associated
chordee.
![Page 11: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hypospadius
• Occurs from incomplete development of urethra in utero.
• Occurs in 1 of 100 male children. Increased risk if father or siblings have defect.
• Ranges from mild to severe. • Cyrptorchidism/Undescended testes may be found in
conjunction with hypospadias.
![Page 12: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Assessment
Usually discovered during Newborn Physical Assessment
![Page 13: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Interventions
• Medical Treatment:– Do NOT circumcise infant. May need to
use foreskin in reconstruction.
• Surgery– Reconstructive – repositions uretheral
opening at tip of penis
![Page 14: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• The reason for surgery at about 1 year of age is because:a. children will experience less pain.b. chordee may be reabsorbed.c. the child has not developed body
image and castration anxiety.d. the repair is easier before toilet
training.
![Page 15: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Post –op Nursing Care 1. Assess pressure dressing (use to control
bleeding. 2. Maintain urinary drainage. 3. Control bladder spasms.
Antispasmotics (relax the bladder muscle)Pro-Banthine (probantheline)Ditropan (oxybutinin)Levsin (hyoscyamine)
![Page 16: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A double diapering technique protects the urinary stent after surgery. The inner diaper collects stool and the
outer diaper collects urine.
![Page 17: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
4. Control Pain.5. Increase fluids intake. 6. Do not allow to play on any straddle toys.7. Prevent infection. – no bathing or swimming
until stents removed.8. Discharge teaching:
When to call doctor.No bathing or swimming until stents
removed.

Cryptorchidism
Failure of one or both of the testes to descend from abdominal
cavity to the scrotum
![Page 19: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Etiology and Pathophysiology
• Testes usually descend into the scrotal sac during the 7-9 gestation
• They may descend anytime up to 6 weeks after birth. Rarely descend after that time.
• Cause unknown• Theories
– Inadequate length of spermatic vessels – Lowered testosterone levels
![Page 20: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Assessment
![Page 21: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Therapeutic Interventions
• Surgery – Orchiopexy done via laproscopy– Done around 1 year of age
• Nursing Care – Post-op– Minimal activity for few day to ensure
that the internal sutures remain intact– Allow opportunity to express fears
![Page 22: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why is early surgery important?
• Morphologic changes to testis from higher temperature in abd cavity
• Decreased sperm count=infertility?
• Testicular cancer

Etiology
• Insidious onset with periods of remission / exacerbations throughout life- No cure
• 95% idiopathic, possibly a hypersensitivity reaction.
• Other causes: post acute glomerulonephritis, sickle cell disease, Diabetes Mellitus, or drug toxicity.
• Usually seen in preschool yrs (2-4). M>F

AssessmentFour most common characteristics:
1. Massive proteinuria
2. Hypoalbuminemia (K+ normal, BP normal)
3. Edema – usually starts in periorbital area and dependent areas of the body and progresses to generalized, massive edema. Pitting edema of 4+. Caused by hypo albumin which causes shift of fluids to extracellular space. *There is an insidious weight gain- shoes don't fit, etc
4. Hyperlipidemia
* Of note is that there is no
hematuria or hypertension

Acute Glomerulonephritis
Immune-complex disease which causes inflammation
of the glomeruli of the kidney as a result of an
infection elsewhere in the body.
![Page 41: Nursing Care of the Child with GU disorders. Renal System Assessment Physical assessment –Palpation, percussion Health history –Previous UTIs, calculi,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012910/56649ef35503460f94c056d8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Etiology/Pathophysiology
• Usual organism is Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus
• Organism not found in kidney, but the antigen-antibody complexes become trapped in the membrane of the glomeruli causing inflammation, obstruction and edema in kidney
• The glomeruli become inflamed and scarred, and slowly lose their ability to remove wastes and excess water from the blood to make urine.
