Urinary tract infections (UTI) • Most common bacterial infections • Epidemiology: 10% of women getting an infection yearly and 60% having an infection during their life (app. 50x greater in women than in men) • Symptoms: dysuria, pollakisuria, haematuria, pyuria • Diagnosis: clinical symptoms, urine analysis • Treatment: oral antibiotics, cranberry juice
Urinary tract infections Pathogens:
E.coli P. aeuruginosa Therapy: Aminoglycosides Meropenem Flurocinolons Ciprofloxacin, Tazobactam
Acute pyelonephritis • Fewer than UTI, predisposing factors: obstructive uropathies, immunsuppressed states • Symptoms: dysuria, pollakisuria, haematuria, pyuria, fever, back pain, vomiting • Blood: • - leukocytosis • - increased CRP • Urinary sediment: • - squamosus cells • - erythrocyte casts • - leukocytes Fairley KF, Diseases of the kidney , 1988

Normal Kidney Development • Nephrogenesis: until 26th weeks of pregnancy, • Prenatal Ultrasound - Presence and size of the kidneys, volume of amniotic fluid - Parenchymal thickness, echogenity, cysts, dilatation - Bladder: volume, wall-thickness, proximal urethra - Associated anomalies
Kidney pathologies diagnosable by ultrasound during 19-23 weeks Renal agenesis Cystic kidney disease ARPKD ADPKD multicystic kidney dyplasia Obstructive Uropathies Bladder extrophy Others
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) • Primary: Congenital defect of longitudinal muscle of the intravesical ureter • Secondary: Caused by raised vesicular pressures associated with obstruction (posterior urethra valve, PU stenosis) • Symptoms:none, UTI, pyelonephritis • Diagnosis: antenatal ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram • Therapy:none, conservative or surgical depending on grade and symptoms
VUR incidence between gender Epidemiology: VUR is present in more than 10% of the population, In children without UTI 17.2-18.5% have VUR, whereas in those with UTI 70%. Antenatal VUR is more often in males, later age 85% predominantly in females
Severity of VUR Jang HC, 2011 Korean J Urol
Posterior urethra valves dilatated bladder valve • Etiology: an obstructing membrane in the posterior male urethra as a result of abnormal in utero development • Epidemiology: only in males, 1:5000, 20% of childhood ESRD • Symptoms:none, bilateral hydronephrosis, abnormal bladder, megaureters • Diagnosis: antenatal ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram • Therapy:surgical (vesicostomy, valve ablation) www.humpath.com, imagingconsult. com

Renal cystic disease Unknown inheritance - solitary cysts - multicystic, dysplastic kidneys - medullary sponge kidney - aquired cysts Inherited - autosomal dominant (ADPKD, MCKD, VHL, tub. scler.) - autosomal recessive (ARPKD, NPH, BBS, etc.)
Renal diseaseswith abnormal renal structure • unilateral renal agenesia • bilateral renal agenesia • renal aplasia • horseshoe kidney • renal cyts (in ~50% of autopsys) • cystic kidney disease
ARPKD solitary cysts ADPKD healthy X aquired cytsts multicystic dysplastic kidney medullary sponge kidney nephronophtisis hydronephrosis
Solitary Cysts • Developmental anomalities , mostly on the outer side of the kidney • Most oftenrenal cysts, 50% of the population after 50 years 1% in children • Symptoms:none, abdominal pain, pressure, unregular motion • Diagnosis: mostly by chance, classification (simple, complicated) classify by, ultrasound or CT, follow-up • Therapy:mostly nothing, complicated cysts should be ablated http://library.med.utah.edu
Multiystic, dysplastic kidneys • Epidemiology: 1:2400, bilateral 20-35% • Male:Female: unilateral (2.4:1), bilateral (1:2) • Symptoms:none, abdominal tumor,pain, vomiting, haematuria, hypertension10% malignancy • In 50-70% other developmental abnormalities (vitium, esophagusatr.)-Potter • Diagnosis:ultrasound(prenatal)!, MCU (VUR?); DMSA (function?) • Therapy:nephrectomy (obstruction- rec.infections, pain, malignancy) http://library.med.utah.edu; Frye TP et al,2010, Ped Nephr
Medullary sponge kidney • Pathomechanism:Cystic dilatation of the collecting tubules • Epidemiology: 1:200-500, Female: Male (2:1) • Symptoms:none, haematuria, infections, renal stones (60%), hemihypertrophy (25%) • Diagnosis: mostly by chance, ultrasound: not typical, iv. urography • Therapy:treatment of infections and kidney stones, rarely rec. Infections leading to chronic renal insufficiency
Aquired renal cysts • Patomechanism: more cysts in both kidneys, cysts are enlarged tubules filled with oxalate leading to obstruction • In patients who are on dialysis for long (3 years 40%, 10 years 90%) • More often in men (3-4x) • Symptoms:bleeding, kidney stones, renaladenomas/carcinomas (7-50x) • Diagnosis: UH, CT Therapy: Nephrectomy? Quelle: European Renal Association
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) • Pathogenesis: Cystic degeneration of the kidney by a mutation in polycystin1 and 2 • Epidemiology: • - Most common inherited disease that leads to death, • - Incidence: 1:200-1:1000same in both gender, but the progression to ESRD is quicker in men • Symptoms: • In 50% progressive chronic renal insufficiency • ADPKD is often associated with liver and pancres cysts

Parameters representing renal function • Serum creatinine • Blood urea nitrogen • Electrolytes • Urinary protein (albumine) !unspecific
Estimated GFR • In routine: estimates of creatinine clearance based on the serum creatinine level is used to measure GFR Cocroft- Gault formula MDRD formula Schwartz formula
