The urinary system regulates fluid balance and produces hormones. The kidneys metabolize vitamin D and gluconeogenesis during fasting. Medical abbreviations are used by healthcare professionals to efficiently record patient data. Some common urinary system abbreviations are Cath. for catheterization, Cysto. for cystoscopy, UTI for urinary tract infection, and RP for retrograde pyelogram. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is a blood test that measures kidney function.
Dysuria, or pain during urination, is commonly caused by urinary tract infections (UTIs). UTIs are often caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract from the bowel. The most common culprit is E. coli. Dysuria and other urinary symptoms may indicate cystitis (bladder infection), urethritis, prostatitis, or pyelonephritis (kidney infection). Diagnosis involves a urinalysis and urine culture. Treatment depends on the infection location and severity, but commonly involves antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or fluoroquinolones. Recurrent infections require further evaluation and prevention strategies.
A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria infect the urinary tract, causing either a bladder infection or kidney infection. Symptoms of a bladder infection include pain when urinating, frequent urination, and feeling the need to urinate despite an empty bladder. Symptoms of a kidney infection are fever, flank pain, and sometimes bloody urine in the very old or young. E. coli bacteria are the most common cause and risk factors include sex, urinary catheters, and underlying conditions like diabetes. Diagnosis involves urine analysis, microscopy, and sometimes ultrasound or cystourethrogram. Treatment is usually antibiotics and acetaminophen for fever.
This document defines urinary tract infections (UTIs), lists common risk factors, and discusses causative organisms. UTIs are defined as significant bacteriuria of 105 CFU/ml or more in a urine sample. Risk factors include being female, older age, obstruction of the urinary tract, instrumentation like catheterization, and certain medical conditions like diabetes or immunosuppression. The most common causative organism is Escherichia coli, while other gram-negative bacteria and some gram-positive bacteria can also cause UTIs.
This document discusses urinalysis procedures and analyses. It describes how to properly collect urine samples from males, females, neonates, and through catheterization. Midstream samples are recommended for males to avoid contamination. Dipstick testing and microscopic examination are used to analyze the urine's color, turbidity, specific gravity, pH, and for the presence of blood, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, and urobilinogen. Abnormal findings on urinalysis can indicate infections, kidney diseases, diabetes, or other conditions. Proper collection and handling of urine samples is important for obtaining accurate test results.

Asymptomatic urinary tract infection amongst some Students of Michael Okpara ...Premier Publishers
This work was carried out to determine Asymptomatic Urinary Tract Infection amongst some students of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike and the sensitivity pattern of the isolates from urine. Using aseptic technique, midstream urine were collected from sixty (60) students, urinalysis was carried out on the urine samples and was then cultured on CLED and MacConkey agar using pour plate method. Growth was observed in 26 (87%) of the sample while there was no growth in 4 (13%) of the sample. Out of the 26 (87%) samples with growth, 14 (47%) had significant bacteria growth while 12 (40%) had no significant growth. Incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was higher in females 8 (57%) than males 6 (38%). The organisms isolated were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All the Gram positive isolates were sensitive to Gentamycin and all resistance to Cefuroxime, Ceftazidime, Ceftriaxone, Cloxacillin. The Gram negative isolates were mostly sensitive to Nitrofurantoin, Gentamycin and Ofloxacin. Therefore, these drugs could be considered as the first line of drug for the treatment of asymptomatic urinary tract infection.
Urinary tract infections are common bacterial infections that affect any part of the urinary system. Escherichia coli is the most common cause of UTIs. UTIs are classified as lower UTIs, which involve the bladder and urethra, or upper UTIs, which involve the kidneys. Diagnosis involves urine microscopy, culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Treatment is based on culture results and involves antibiotics like quinolones and nitrofurantoin.

The prevalence of Escherichia coli Causing Urinary Tract Infections in Aminu ...Premier Publishers
Urinary Tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common causes of hospital visit worldwide. The study intends to find the prevalence of Escherichia coli in Urinary tract infection cases in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), Kano. A comprehensive study was conducted on E coli for its prevalence in urine samples, of queried cases of urinary tract infection in patients attending Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), Kano. Two hundred and fourteen urine specimens comprising of 123(57.5%) females and 91(42.5%) males of all age group were screened for bacteria. Of the 214 samples, 68 representing (31.80%) were culture positive with E. coli having 32(47.06%), Klebsiella spp 18(26.47%), Staphylococcus spp 10(14.70%), Proteus spp 6(8.82%) and Pseudomonas spp 2(2.94%). Out of the 32(47.6%) of E. coli isolated, 22 were from female and 10 were from males, the highest prevalence occurred within the age range of 21-30 with females taking the lead. Antibiogram of the isolated E. coli showed a markedly good sensitivity of ofloxacin (96.87%), nitrofurantoin and nalidixic acid (93.70%), colistin phosphate (90.62%) and gentamicin (68.75%). E. coli showed the least sensitivity to ampicillin (18.75%). The frequency of E. coli obtained suggests its high prevalence. And this can be reduced using Flouroquinolones as exhibited by the susceptibility profile in this study.
The document discusses laboratory diagnosis of urinary tract infections, including specimen collection and transport, microscopic examination of urine to detect white blood cells, bacteria, casts, crystals and parasites, and culture of urine samples to identify causative organisms and antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Proper collection and transport of urine samples is important for accurate laboratory diagnosis of UTIs.
A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is an infection in any part of your urinary system, which includes your:-
kidneys,
bladder,
ureters, and
urethra.
It is associated with the inflammation of the urinary tract.
When it affects the lower urinary tract it is known as a bladder infection and when it affects the upper urinary tract it is known as a kidney infection.
This document discusses urinary tract infections (UTIs). It defines UTIs as infections caused by microbial invasion of the urinary tract from the kidneys to the urethra. UTIs are classified as lower or upper depending on the anatomical site. Escherichia coli is the most common cause, accounting for 70-75% of cases. Predisposing factors include gender, age, pregnancy, and structural or functional abnormalities of the urinary tract. Symptoms range from asymptomatic bacteriuria to local cystitis of the bladder or systemic pyelonephritis of the kidneys. Laboratory diagnosis involves urine culture and susceptibility testing to guide antibiotic treatment.
Urinary tract infections can lead to acute kidney injury in children. Common causes of acute kidney injury include urinary tract infections and conditions that decrease blood flow to the kidneys. Symptoms may include decreased urine output or edema. Diagnosis involves urine and blood tests to evaluate kidney function. Treatment focuses on resolving the underlying cause, increasing fluid intake, and antibiotics if infection is present. Complications can include dehydration or long-term kidney damage if not properly treated.
This document discusses urinary tract infections (UTIs). It defines UTIs as infections extending from the kidneys to the urethra caused by microbial invasion of the urinary tract. UTIs are a leading cause of morbidity and healthcare costs globally. The document describes the types of UTIs as upper (involving the kidneys or ureters) or lower (involving the bladder or urethra). It also outlines predisposing factors, clinical features, laboratory diagnosis including microscopy, culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing, common causative agents including Escherichia coli, and treatment considerations including appropriate antibiotic selection.
Treating the patient not the labstick. A guide to diagnosis and treatment of ...Linda Nazarko
This document provides information on diagnosing and treating urinary tract infections in adults. It discusses how UTIs should be diagnosed based on clinical symptoms rather than dipstick or culture results alone. Overdiagnosis and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria is common in older adults. Inappropriate antibiotic use can increase risks of antibiotic resistance, C. difficile infection, and adverse effects. Treatment considerations depend on factors like patient age, sex, and whether the infection is complicated or catheter-associated.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

2. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of urinary system
kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary
tract — the bladder and the urethra.
Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men.
The main causal agent is Escherichia coli. Although urine contains a variety of
fluids, salts, and waste products, it does not usually have bacteria in it . When
bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and multiply in the urine, they may cause a
UTI.
Introduction
3. The incidence of UTI increases in patients > 50 years,in women in this age group,
most UTIs are cystitis. In men of the same age, most UTIs are urethritis or
prostatitis

RESULT
10. o The study observes that the prevalence of UTI is high among females than males.
o Females of the reproductive age group (50-above years) constituted 80% of the
total patients with UTI.
o It has been reported that adult women have a higher prevalence of UTI than
men, principally due to anatomical and physical factors.
o Among males an increased prevalence of UTI was recorded in elderly age group
than young .This is probably because with advancing age, the incidence of UTI
increases in men due to prostate enlargement and neurogenic bladder.
Discussion
11. The study demonstrates that E.coli remain the leading uropathogen being
responsible for UTI specially among female & aging group of population and this
is also in consistence with other reporting UTIs in Bangladesh.
