A clear and well-structured nephrology mind map that explains urinary tract infections (UTIs), their major risk factors, and the role of vesicoureteral reflux in recurrent urinary infections and kidney damage. The map visually connects pathophysiology, common causes, clinical features, investigations, and complications in a simple and organized format.

Definition
VUR is the retrograde fow of urine from the bladder
to the ureter or kidney.
Etiology:
1-Primary: Congenital incompetence of the valvular
mechanism of vesicouretral junction,duplication of ureters,
etc.
2- secondary:
•Infammation: cystitis (transient VUR)
•Calculi
•increas intravesical pressure: posterior urethral valve,
neurogenic bladder.
•Bladder surgery.and injured the sphenector




🔹
Clinical manifestations
VUR is usually discovered during radiological evaluation of
urinary tract infection e.g. voiding cystourethrogram ARF is a clinical syndrom e in w hich a sudden deterioration in
🔹
(VCUG).Usually patient complain from recurrent UTI
VUR is classified in to 5 grades according to its severity and
Vesicouretral Refux
renal function results in the inability of the kidneys to maintain
fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.
🔹
Natural history
Grades I and II and 50% of grade lll: >80%
the degree of urethral dilatation and calyceal deformity. It characterized by:
– Oliguria or anuria
🔹
resolve spontaneously with maturation.
Grades IIll, IV, and V: only 15% resolve
spontaneously
– Electrolyte& acid base disturbances (hyperkalemia and
metabolic acidosis)

Etiology:

Consequences of VUR 🔷
🔹1) PRERENAL CAUSES:

🔹
Incomplete emptying of ureter and bladder
🔹Blood loss:acute hemorrhage
Plasma loss: burns
🔹Fluid loss: dehydration due to:ّ

🔹 Renal scarring (reflux nephropathy)
Hypertension and/or end stage renal failure
(particularly with grades IV-V) ▪ Diarrhea ‫خمس أيام وماتعالج أوعوض سوائل‬,

Treatment
🔹 Grades I-III VUR+ normal nephrosonogram: 🔹

🔹Pathogenesis ‫قالت اقرءوه قرايه‬ III. Treatment of specific problems :
🔷 1-Fluid therapy:

1🔹Rapid screening tests for UTI: 🔹
For patient with oliguria + normal intravascular volume: (Not have hypervolemia)

🔹 Restrict fluid : daily intake =volum e of urine of previous 24hours +insensible w ater loss (400 m l/m 2/24hours)
a.Dipstick nitrite test: detects nitrites produced by reduction of
urinary nitrates by bacteria. A positive test = bacteruria .False negative results may occur 🔹IfFluid
there is fever add another 75 m l/m 2/each degree centigraderise
is given as 10-30 % glucose solution (without electrolytes ) given slowly IV or orally (if tolerated)
• M 2 = √ high in cm ×body weigh in kg/3600
B.dipstick leukocyte esterase test : it detect the presence of WBCs not bacteria
Investigations

(For patient with oliguria or anuria + fluid overload there is no insensible loss and urin not changed )

🔷2-Nutrition
More severe restriction of fluids Daily intake =losses in urine ,stools and vomitus only

•Proteins : mild proteinuria
•Sediment :

🔷4- Sever acidosis ( PH <7.15 & bicarbonate<12 mEq /liter):
↑• Serum creatinine: • Sodium bicarbonate IV Its reduce the ionized calcium to ↑ arterial pH to7.20 (or ↑sod. bicarb.to 12 m Eq/liter)
🔸
Pyuria (5 or more WBCs/HPF in the sediment of centrifuged
urine sample or 10 or more WBCs/ mm3 of uncentrifuged
urine ,using counting chamber)
↑• Serum U ric acid :↑ All uria and creatinine and urea
nirogen increased due to decreased renal excretion
🔶 A- Prerenal Causes: By I.V line urgent correction of hypovolemia, hypotension
using the following formula:
If less than 12m Eq We just Partialy corrected up to 12m Eq But if its more than 12 we don't corrected (mEqN
Pyuria is not diagnostic, it may be absent in active UTI, on the
other hand, it can be present with febrile illnesses or dehydration or with glomerulonephritis Presence 3. Serum electrolytes:
🔸If after correction there is still no voiding, give N .saline 20 ml /kg/ over 30 min. voiding
and/or hypoxia
HCO3 required = 0.3X Wt (in kg) X (12 – HCO3[mEq/l] )
• Rapid correction → tetany and vol.overload

🔹
3 Urine culture ,colony count and anitbiotic sensitivity testing :
• Serum potassium :↑due decreased excretion and increased K

➢If NO voiding occurs in spite of good hydration: (Use furosemide ± Mannitol) as
follows
Furosemide: 2m g/kg at a rate of 4m g/m inutes (onset of action m ay be delayed for

examination and culture ?
First wash the perineum and genitalia with soap and water then steriized by

enlarged,etc..)
etc.

it is an upper (pyelonephritis ) or lower ( cystitis) UTI? This is
nornal saline Or sterling water • IVP & Radionuclide scan (after recovery) 🔷 9 Circulatory congestion and heart failure: See treatm ent of APS GN
10 Seizures:

🔹
usually difficult However •the following are in favour of upper UTI (pyelonephritis): 🔹
Voiding sample:
🔹 Urinary bladder catheterization:or bag, must be certain numbers of bacteria
• Cystoscopy,VCUG , and retrograde pyelography. – Correction of the cause :as hyponatremia, hypocalcemia ,etc

🔹
🔹
1.High fever and toxic look
2.Renal angle tenderness
suprapubic bladder aspiration (in neonates & young infants): Any number of
bacteria is positive infection 🔷
– Diazepam (0.1 - 0.3 mg/kg/dose,IV )
11- Anemia:

🔹
🔹
3.Leukocytosis
4.Bacteremia
• Mild dilutional anemia ( Hb 9-11g/dl) requires no treatment If we corrected the fluids the anemia will corrected
• Blood loss from active bleeding should be replaced by fresh blood.

🔹 5.Urinary white cell casts
6.High ESR
•Blood culture:
• Hemolytic anemia with H b <7g/dl: fresh packed red cells (10m l/kg). ‫لوعملنا كل هذه العالجات والزال ماتحسن المري ض واليوريا‬
‫والكرياتينين عاليين هنا •بيدخل بغسيل كلوي‬
Done for neonates and young infants *due hematogenous transmission
•Renal function studies :

🔹
In acute pyelonephritis:may be mild increase of blood urea and serum creatinine
7- Imaging studies
•Renal & bladder ultrasonography
•Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is done after treatment in all males and for females
under 5 years of age or having UTI for the 2nd time
•Renal scintigrphy with dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) for demonstrating scarring.
*It show if the infection Acute or chronic, Necessary in Asymptomatic patients, in acute
disease show decrease absorbtion of dye While in chronic show scarring in kidney tissue

Antibiotic therapy:
- For newborns : 10-14 days parenteral antibiotics
-For older children with cystitis: oral antibiotic for 1 week (Amoxicillin or Co-
trimoxazole)
- For older children with suspicious pyelonephritis :
•Start with parenteral broad- spectrum antibiotics until high fever and toxicity
disappear then
•Continue with an oral antibiotic( according to results of culture) to complete
14 days

prophylactic antibiotics:
Co-trimoxazole bactrim drug (% of therapeutic dose) should given if recurrences
are frequent or if imaging studies prove the presence of VUR
1-General supportive measures
Hydration,alkinazation of urine with oral sodium Citrate or bicarbonate, prevent Treatment
