Infection can occur in one or both kidneys. Chronic pyelonephritis may occur due to repeated infections, and are usually found in individuals who develop stones, obstruction, or vesicoureteric reflux.

Nongonoreal urethritis; urethritis is not related to niesseria gonorhoeae usually caused by chlamydia urelytikum frakomatik or plasma urea. Pyelonephritis (u

Nursing Diagnosis for Anemia: Ineffective Tissue Perfusion related to the decrease in the cellular components required for the delivery of oxygen / nutrients to the cells. Objectives: increased tissue perfusion. Expected outcomes are: - indicates inadequate perfusion, such as stable vital signs. Ineffective Tissue Perfusion Nursing Interventions for Anemia Independent 1. Monitor vital signs assess capillary refill, color of skin / mucous membranes, nail beds. Rational: provides information about the degree / adequacy of tissue perfusion and help determine the need for intervention. 2. Elevate head of bed as tolerated. Rational: increase lung expansion and maximize oxygenation for cellular needs. Note: if there is hypotension contraindicated. 3. Monitor respiratory effort; auscultation of breath sounds adventisius note sounds. Rational: dyspnea, gurgling menununjukkan heart problems due to strain the old heart / cardiac output increased compensation. 4. Investigate complaints of chest

Nursing Diagnosis for Anemia Anemia is a decrease in number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. However, it can include decreased oxygen-binding ability of each hemoglobin molecule due to deformity or lack in numerical development as in some other types of hemoglobin deficiency. Causes of Anemia Except for the acute form, anemia is a result of systemic toxemia and acidosis-a condition of poisons, toxins and accumulated waste products floating in the blood - and lymph-streams, and of enervation or lowered nerve-tone. There is either an accumulation of these injurious substances due to failure of eliminative organs to handle a normal amount of such products, or they are produced in such considerable quantities that even normal organs, eliminating a normal amount or more than a normal amount of eliminations can not remove them rapidly enough. They have the effect of poisoning the organs that make the blood cells, which pr

Nursing Diagnosis Risk for Infection Nursing Care Plan Definition: At increased risk for being invaded by pathogenic organisms Related Factors: See Risk Factors. Risk Factors: Invasive procedures; insufficient knowledge regarding avoidance of exposure to pathogens; trauma; tissue destruction and increased environmental exposure; rupture of amniotic membranes; pharmaceutical agents (e.g., immunosuppressants); malnutrition; increased environmental exposure to pathogens; immunosuppression; inadequate acquired immunity; inadequate secondary defenses (e.g., decreased hemoglobin, leukopenia, suppressed inflammatory response); inadequate primary defenses (e.g., broken skin, traumatized tissue, decrease in ciliary action, stasis of body fluids, change in pH secretions, altered peristalsis); chronic disease.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) is one of the most common lung diseases. It generally defines the conditions which consist of regular difficulty in expelling or exhaling air from the lungs. There are two major forms of COPD: chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
