Diseases of the Urinary System/Reproductive System/ Bones & Joints

Week 7- Diseases of the Urinary System/Reproductive System/ Bones & Joints

Discussion Topic

Top of Form

Choose a topic from the chapters on diseases of the urinary system, reproductive system, or bones and joints and present it to the class, covering the basics of pathogenesis and prognosis, as well as how it affects you as an embalmer. When posting, approach as if you are discussing the topic with someone with little or no knowledge about the topic. This means you need to provide details to help the person understand. That is what I expect when reading and grading your post. You must include diagrams and graphics to support your post, and make sure you include in your post the significance of why the diagram/graphic is important. Simply including the diagram/graphic will not be enough.

TWO PEER RESPONSES:

TRENT’S POST:

Hematuria

Hematuria is a medical term that describes the presence of blood in the urine. It can be caused by a wide range of factors, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, prostate problems, certain medications, and in some cases, it may be a sign of a more serious underlying medical condition, such as bladder or kidney cancer.

The pathogenesis of hematuria varies depending on the underlying cause. In some cases, the blood may come from the kidneys, while in other cases it may come from the bladder or urethra. A healthcare professional will typically perform tests to determine the underlying cause of the hematuria, such as urine tests, blood tests, and imaging tests.

Again, the prognosis for hematuria depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, hematuria may resolve on its own without any specific treatment, while in other cases, it may require treatment for the underlying condition.

When it comes to embalming a person who died with hematuria, it can present some challenges. Hematuria can cause the body to appear discolored, which can make it more difficult to achieve a natural-looking appearance. Additionally, the presence of blood in the body can affect the effectiveness of embalming fluids, which can result in a less-than-ideal outcome. If the hematuria is caused by a kidney or bladder condition, it is important to understand the extent of the blood in the body and the effects it may have on the embalming fluids. In such cases, it may be necessary to use specialized embalming fluids that are formulated to work effectively in the presence of blood. You may also need to use additional techniques, such as pre-injection or localized injection, to ensure that the embalming fluid reaches all areas of the body.

Below I have included a figure to show how hematuria caused by a kidney condition can result in blood ending up in bladder. As you can see, the blood travels down from the kidneys through ureters before dumping into the bladder.

CHRISTINA’ S POST:

Pre-Eclampsia is a condition that occurs during pregnancy. This condition is serious and can lead to Eclampsia. Pre-Eclampsia and Eclampsia causes are unknown. The symptoms and characteristics of Pre-Eclampsia can be identified though. Pre-Eclampsia characteristics include swelling of the hand and face, sudden weight gain, headache, upper abdominal pain. Pre-Eclampsia can be identified by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. There is no treatment for this condition. Eclampsia is when the mother has seizures after the 20th week of gestation. It is suggested to carry the fetus until it can survive outside the mother’s womb safely because Pre-Eclampsia can lead to fetal death.

As an embalmer, I would worry about the hypertension and fluid retention. When we embalm someone who has edema, they can easily swell. The embalmer needs to take extra precautions with the rate of flow and pressure during injection. Unionalls will also be needed more than likely when the embalming process is complete.

I have included the symptoms and characteristics of Pre-Eclampsia and a chart with some facts about Pre-Eclampsia. The symptoms are common symptoms, so it is important to know what to look for.

KEY TAKEAWAYS BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS ASSIGNMENT

Diseases of the Urinary System/Reproductive System/ Bones & Joints

Introduction

The urinary system is one of the most important organs in your body. You may not realize it, but everything you eat and drink passes through your kidneys before it enters your bloodstream. And that includes excess water from sweating and urinating–which means that an overactive bladder can make you feel like you have to go every five minutes!

But there are many other medical conditions that affect your urinary system as well: kidney stones, infections, bladder pain disorders…just to name a few. In fact, if you’re experiencing any symptoms at all–whether they’re mild or severe–we recommend seeing a doctor right away so they can properly diagnose what’s going on with your urinary tract!

Kidney Disease

Kidney disease is a long-term condition that causes the kidneys to stop working properly. The kidneys filter waste products from your blood and help control blood pressure.

Kidney disease can lead to serious problems, such as high blood pressure and heart disease. If you have kidney problems, your doctor may recommend that you take certain medicines or surgery to treat them

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in women, but they can also affect men. A UTI is an infection of the urinary tract, which includes the bladder and urethra. The most common cause of a UTI is bacteria entering through an open wound or sores on your body—like those caused by an STI or pregnancy. However, sometimes viruses can cause a UTI as well (it’s called vesicoureteral reflux).

UTIs can be painful and uncomfortable—but they don’t always need antibiotics to treat them! Antibiotics are only necessary if you have some other medical condition associated with your symptoms like: fever; pelvic pain/pressure; abdominal pain/pressure; difficulty urinating due to hesitancy or frequent trips outside the bathroom; fatigue that doesn’t improve after several days off work due to constant trips back inside while trying desperately not let anyone know what’s wrong with them during their busy day at work/school etcetera.”

Bladder Stones

Bladder stones are a buildup of minerals and salts in your urinary tract, which can form when you have an infection or blockage. They usually occur when urine becomes trapped in the bladder.

This causes pressure to build up and eventually causes pain that can be very severe if left untreated. Symptoms include:

  • Pain during urination (urinary urgency)
  • Pain with sitting or standing for long periods of time
  • Pressure that feels like someone is sitting on your stomach area

Pelvic Pain Disorders

Pelvic pain disorders are a group of conditions that cause pelvic pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvis. In some cases, these disorders can cause chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection caused by the bacterium Giardia lamblia. It’s most common among women who have delivered babies vaginally and men who have sex with men; however, it can occur at any time during pregnancy or after childbirth. PID may cause symptoms such as fever, chills, coughs (coughing up yellow mucus), nausea/vomiting blood or severe abdominal cramping that lasts for weeks to months—often leading to hospitalization if left untreated.

Bone and Joint Problems

Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are common in late adulthood.

Gout is a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the blood. Gout is more common among men than women and affects both bones and joints. It can be treated with medications such as colchicine or allopurinol; however, this medication does not prevent further progression of gout if left untreated for long periods of time.

Fibromyalgia affects more than 2 million people in the United States alone—and much like RA, it has no cure! Fibromyalgia causes chronic pain throughout your body—including muscles, tendons and ligaments—as well as stiffness throughout your joints (arthritis). The symptoms vary widely depending on where they occur along the body; however there are certain things you should know about fibromyalgia:

These are some of the medical conditions you may have.

  • Kidney disease
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Bladder stones
  • Pelvic pain disorders (including vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis, and endometriosis)
  • Bone and joint problems

Conclusion

The most important thing is to take care of yourself and try to stay healthy.
