Document Summary
Alzheimer"s disease: decreased ability to sense full bladder or unable to recall procedure for voiding. Rheumatoid arthritis: unable to sit on or rise from toilet d/t hindered mobility. Renal failure (acute or chronic): decreased volume and quality of urine. Kidney cancer: gross hematuria (blood in urine) and flank pain. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph): urinary retention, frequency, incontinence, dribbling, risk of uti, difficulty initiating voiding and maintaining urinary stream d/t pressure on the neck of the bladder. Urinary tract infection (uti): infection of urinary tracts caused by pathogens (i. e e. coli) Women are more susceptible to utis due to short urethra. Conditions resulting in urinary retention increase risk of utis. Not fully emptying bladder results in residual urine (urine left in bladder after voiding) to become more alkaline, allowing microorganism growth. Conditions resulting in decreased immunity increase risk of utis. Changes in aging increase risk of utis. Increased glucose in urine promotes bacterial growth. Dysuria: pain or burning sensation during urination.
