Slide 20: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) PATHOPHYSIOLOGY The invading organism ascends the urinary tract, irritating the mucosa and causing characteristic symptoms Ureter= ureteritis Bladder= cystitis Urethra=Urethritis Pelvis= Pyelonephritis
Slide 21: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Assessment findings Low-grade fever Abdominal pain Enuresis Pain/burning on urination Urinary frequency Hematuria
