I. INTRODUCTION

Passage of a urinary stone is the single most common cause of acute ureteral

obstruction and affects as many as 12% of the population. The pain may be some of

the most severe pain that humans experience, and complications of stone disease

may result in severe infection; renal failure; or, in rare cases, death

(http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/381993-overview). Semins et al performed a

study regarding how increased body mass index (BMI) may affect the risk of kidney

stone disease. They found that in patients with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m2, there

was a significantly increased likelihood of kidney stone formation. Renal calculi

occur in 5-12% of the American population, and they are bilateral in 10-15% of

patients. The prevalence of urinary lithiasis is as high as 2-3% in the general

population. A slightly lower prevalence of urinary stones is found in less developed

countries, possibly because of diets lower in protein.

Passage of a renal stone is the most common cause of acute ureteral

obstruction. When this occurs, pressure in the collecting system and renal blood flow

acutely increase, followed by decreased blood flow after 1-2 hours. Hematuria

usually occurs. This can be intermittent or persistent and microscopic or gross.

However, as many as 10% of patients with acute stones may not have hematuria.

Acute ureteral obstruction by stone causes severe, colicky (intermittent) flank pain

that can radiate throughout the groin, testicles, back, or periumbilical region. Some

patients with renal calculi may have no symptoms at all. Stones smaller than 4 mm

pass spontaneously in approximately 80% of patients. Stones that are 4-6 mm pass

in approximately 50% of patients, whereas stones larger than 8 mm pass in only

approximately 20% of patients. Occasionally, recurrent infection may result in

pyelonephritis or abscess. Stones can cause renal scarring, damage, or even renal

failure if they are bilateral. In 10% of patients, stones recur within 1 year. This

percentage increases to 50% within 10 years.

Urinary stones occur more often in white populations than in black

populations. They are also more prevalent in highly developed countries, possibly as

a result of a higher protein diet. Males are at a greater risk than females, with a

1

Page 2: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

male-to-female ratio of 3:1 (except for struvite stones and in black populations).

Stones are uncommon but not unknown in children. The peak age for development

is in persons aged 40-60 years.

This case presentation pertains to a case of patient NQ, a 64-year old female

who was admitted at NMMC last december,11 2010. The patient was diagnosed

with Nonfunctioning kidney secondary to urolithiasis and nephrolithiasis. As you read

the next pages, you will fully understand what it is.

A.GENERAL OBJECTIVES

At the end of 1 hour of case presentation, we will be able to present the

necessary and significant information regarding the nature of the patient’s

condition. In line with this, we will be able to utilize and enhance our knowledge

regarding Benign Positional Vertigo in addition to gaining a thorough

understanding of the patient’s condition. We also aim to integrate the different

skills and procedures gained from our Medical Surgical in the implementation of

the applicable nursing interventions and to correlate the clinical manifestations of

the patient related to the disease process, laboratory results used to diagnose

this condition, and to develop a sense of empathy to the family of the

aforementioned patient. Lastly we will be able to listen to the Clinical Instructor’s

feedback about the case presentation to enhance nursing knowledge, skills and

attitude.

B.SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

At the end of 45 minutes case presentation, we will be able to:

1. Briefly give an introduction about the patient’s general condition.

2. Discuss thoroughly the assessment done to the patient.

3. Discuss the signs and symptoms of the patient who has Benign Positional

Vertigo.

4. Briefly review the anatomy and physiology of the bodily systems involved in

the disease condition.

2

Page 3: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

5. Discuss thoroughly the pathophysiology of the disease, identifying correctly

the predisposing and precipitating factors and correlating the manifestations

of the patient with the disease process.

6. Interpret correctly the laboratory results obtained.

7. Present the different drugs administered, their actions and contraindications

to the patient.

8. Formulate a holistic nursing care plan based on the assessment and data

gathered of the care delivered to the patient.

9. Present nursing management and necessary interventions appropriate for the

patient who has Benign Positional Vertigo.

10.Present a realistic and attainable discharge plan appropriate for the patient’s

fast recovery and continuity of care.

11.Clarify and answer questions from the clinical instructor related to the

patient’s condition.

12. Manifest open-mindedness to the constructive criticisms of the clinical

instructor and accept necessary feedbacks as learning experiences regarding

the presentation.

C. SCOPE AND LIMITATION

The primary focus of this case presentation is the identified diagnosis of

the patient’s condition which is Nonfunctioning kidney secondary to urolithiasis

and nephrolithiasis . The normal anatomy and physiology of the said condition

and the major systems affected by the disease condition are all included so as to

find out the abnormalities that can be observed in the disease process. Also,

included in this case presentation, are the nursing care plans formulated based

on the identified nursing diagnoses.

Information and data relevant to the study of the patient’s condition were

taken starting from December 14,2010 and continued up to December 16,2010

through daily follow up assessments. The patient was cared for by members of

the group only on December 15,2010 and December 16,2010. However, we

limit the case presentation only to the identified abnormalities as assessed by the

3

Page 4: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

student nurses. Further complications of the patient’s condition, if any, are not

included. The actual management are given so as to show how the patient’s

condition altered the usual treatment outline for cases of Nonfunctioning kidney

secondary to urolithiasis and nephrolithiasis. We also limit our nursing

management recordings to the actual observed response of the patient in relation

to the nursing interventions given during the two days duty.

B. History Present illness:

5 months: prior to admission patient had sudden onset of right flank pain radiating to the right upper quadrant as well as pain in urination. Patient was admitted to a local hospital in Initao and admitted which in ultrasound revealed nephrolithiasis.

3 months: prior to admission patient was again admitted in a local hospital in Initao because of blood in urination and was initially diagnosed to have Ureterolithiasis and was referred to this institution.

2 months: prior to admission patient consulted in this institution(NMMC). Patient’s kidneys were examined and the results was: Nonfunctioning kidneys secondary ureterolithiasis with nephrolithiasis.

2 weeks: prior to admission, patient’s s.o. said: gahi iyang kilid gihilantan siya ug gitakigan. gidala namo siya sa ospital sa initao para magpa check up pero nag ingon ang nurse “balik pagka huwebes kai nay private doctor from CDO “. Pagbalik namo pagpa.check-up, gi UTZ siya. 3 days after mi nagpa.UTZ, ingon ang doctor nga naa daw stone sa right niya nga kidney. Gi-adto dayon mi sa Mercury Hospital sa Iligan, pagtan-aw sa result, ingon ang doctor nga kelangan daw operahan kai dako daw pud ang bato.

10 days: prior to admission, pt’s urine was tested and revealed nephritis and infection. Patient’s blood was also tested and revealed nephritis and hemoconcentration.

5 days: prior to admission the complained for pain felt “ Ga inum siya ug tambal para mawala ra. Ginadaladala raman gud na niya” as verbalized by SO.

1 day: prior to admission the patient consulted the local hospital for the schedule of the surgery due to the pain that the patient felt. The pain got worst but can still tolerate and relieved by rest. The patient can still do light activity.

2-3 hours: prior to admission the patient was unable to walk straighten up his body due to pain and already needs assistance.

III. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

38

Page 39: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

The kidneys are organs with several functions. They are seen in many types

of animals, including vertebrates and some invertebrates. They are an essential part of

the urinary system and also serve homeostatic functions such as the regulation

of electrolytes, maintenance ofacid-base balance, and regulation of blood pressure.

They serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove wastes which are

diverted to the urinary bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete wastes such

as urea and ammonium; the kidneys also are responsible for the reabsorption

of water, glucose, and amino acids. The kidneys also

produce hormonesincluding calcitriol, renin, and erythropoietin.

Located at the rear of the abdominal cavity in the retroperitoneum, the kidneys receive

blood from the paired renal arteries, and drain into the paired renal veins. Each kidney

excretes urine into a ureter, itself a paired structure that empties into the urinary

bladder.

Renal physiology is the study of kidney function, while nephrology is the medical

specialty concerned with kidney diseases. Diseases of the kidney are diverse, but

individuals with kidney disease frequently display characteristic clinical features.

Common clinical conditions involving the kidney include the nephritic and nephrotic

syndromes, renal cysts, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, urinary tract

infection, nephrolithiasis, and urinary tract obstruction. Various cancers of the kidney

exist; the most common adult renal cancer isrenal cell carcinoma. Cancers, cysts, and

some other renal conditions can be managed with removal of the kidney,

or nephrectomy. When renal function, measured by glomerular filtration rate, is

persistently poor, dialysis and kidney transplantation may be treatment options.

Although they are not severely harmful, kidney stones can be a pain and a nuisance.

The removal of kidney stones includes sound wave treatment, which breaks up the

stones into smaller pieces which are then passed through the urinary tract. One

common symptom of kidney stones is a sharp pain in the medial/lateral segments of the

lower back.

Location

In humans, the kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity, and lie in a retroperitoneal

position. There are two, one on each side of the spine. The asymmetry within the

abdominal cavity caused by the liver typically results in the right kidney being slightly

39

Page 40: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

lower than the left, and left kidney being located slightly more medial than the right. The

left kidney is approximately at the vertebral level T12 to L3, and the right slightly lower.

The right kidney sits just below thediaphragm and posterior to the liver, the left below

the diaphragm and posterior to the spleen. Resting on top of each kidney is an adrenal

gland. The upper (cranial) parts of the kidneys are partially protected by the eleventh

and twelfth ribs, and each whole kidney and adrenal gland are surrounded by two layers

of fat (the perirenal and pararenal fat) and the renal fascia. Each adult kidney weighs

between 125 and 170 grams in males and between 115 and 155 grams in females. The

left kidney is typically slightly larger than the right.

Structure

The kidney has a bean-shaped structure, each kidney has concave and convex

surfaces. The concave surface, the renal hilum, is the point at which the renal

artery enters the organ, and therenal vein and ureter leave. The kidney is surrounded by

tough fibrous tissue, the renal capsule, which is itself surrounded by perinephric

fat, renal fascia (of Gerota) and paranephric fat. The anterior (front) border of these

tissues is theperitoneum, while the posterior (rear) border is thetransversalis fascia.

The superior border of the right kidney is adjacent to the liver; and the spleen, for the

left border. Therefore, both move down on inhalation.

The kidney is approximately 11–14 cm in length, 6 cm wide and 4 cm thick.

The substance, or parenchyma, of the kidney is divided into two major structures:

superficial is the renal cortex and deep is the renal medulla. Grossly, these structures

take the shape of 8 to 18 cone-shaped renal lobes, each containing renal cortex

surrounding a portion of medulla called a renal pyramid (of Malpighi). Between the renal

pyramids are projections of cortex called renal columns (of Bertin). Nephrons, the urine-

producing functional structures of the kidney, span the cortex and medulla. The initial

filtering portion of a nephron is the renal corpuscle, located in the cortex, which is

followed by a renal tubule that passes from the cortex deep into the medullary pyramids.

Part of the renal cortex, a medullary ray is a collection of renal tubules that drain into a

single collecting duct.

The tip, or papilla, of each pyramid empties urine into a minor calyx, minor calyces

empty into major calyces, and major calyces empty into the renal pelvis, which becomes

the ureter.

Blood supply

receive blood from the renal arteries, left and right, which branch directly from

theabdominal aorta. Despite their relatively small size, the kidneys receive

approximately 20% of thecardiac output.

Each renal artery branches into segmental arteries, dividing further into interlobar

arteries which penetrate the renal capsule and extend through the renal columns

between the renal pyramids. The interlobar arteries then supply blood to the arcuate

arteries that run through the boundary of the cortex and the medulla. Each arcuate

artery supplies several interlobular arteries that feed into the afferent arterioles that

supply the glomeruli.

The interstitum (or interstitium) is the functional space in the kidney beneath the

individual filters (glomeruli) which are rich in blood vessels. The interstitum absorbs fluid

recovered from urine. Various conditions can lead to scarring and congestion of this

area, which can cause kidney dysfunction and failure.

After filtration occurs the blood moves through a small network of venules that converge

into interlobular veins. As with the arteriole distribution the veins follow the same

pattern, the interlobular provide blood to the arcuate veins then back to the interlobar

veins which come to form the renal vein exiting the kidney for transfusion for blood.

Histology

Innervation

The kidney and nervous system communicate via the renal plexus, whose fibers course

along the renal arteries to reach the kidney. Input from the sympathetic nervous

system triggers vasoconstriction in the kidney, thereby reducing renal blood flow. The

kidney is not thought to receive input from the parasympathetic nervous system.

Sensory input from the kidney travels to the T10-11 levels of the spinal cord and is

sensed in the corresponding dermatome. Thus, pain in the flank region may be referred

from the kidney.

Functions

The kidney participates in whole-body homeostasis, regulating acid-base

balance, electrolyteconcentrations, extracellular fluid volume, and regulation of blood

41

Page 42: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

pressure. The kidney accomplishes these homeostatic functions both independently

and in concert with other organs, particularly those of the endocrine system. Various

endocrine hormones coordinate these endocrine functions; these

include renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone, andatrial natriuretic

peptide, among others.

Many of the kidney's functions are accomplished by relatively simple mechanisms of

filtration, reabsorption, and secretion, which take place in the nephron. Filtration, which

takes place at the renal corpuscle, is the process by which cells and large proteins are

filtered from the blood to make an ultrafiltrate that will eventually become urine. The

kidney generates 180 liters of filtrate a day, while reabsorbing a large percentage,

allowing for only the generation of approximately 2 liters of urine. Reabsorption is the

transport of molecules from this ultrafiltrate and into the blood. Secretion is the reverse

process, in which molecules are transported in the opposite direction, from the blood

into the urine.

Excretion of wastes

The kidneys excrete a variety of waste products produced by metabolism. These

include the nitrogenous wastes urea, from proteincatabolism, and uric acid, from nucleic

acid metabolism.

Acid-base homeostasis

Two organ systems, the kidneys and lungs, maintain acid-base homeostasis, which is

the maintenance of pH around a relatively stable value. The kidneys contribute to acid-

base homeostasis by regulating bicarbonate (HCO3-) concentration. The kidneys have

two important roles in the maintaining of the acid-base balance: to reabsorb bicarbonate

from and to excrete hydrogen ions into urine

Osmolality regulation

Any significant rise in plasma osmolality is detected by the hypothalamus, which

communicates directly with the posterior pituitary gland. An increase in osmolality

causes the gland to secrete antidiuretic hormone (ADH), resulting in water reabsorption

by the kidney and an increase in urine concentration. The two factors work together to

return the plasma osmolality to its normal levels.

ADH binds to principal cells in the collecting duct that translocate aquaporins to the

membrane allowing water to leave the normally impermeable membrane and be

42

Page 43: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

reabsorbed into the body by the vasa recta, thus increasing the plasma volume of the

body.

There are two systems that create a hyperosmotic medulla and thus increase the body

plasma volume: Urea recycling and the 'single effect.'

Urea is usually excreted as a waste product from the kidneys. However, when plasma

blood volume is low and ADH is released the aquaporins that are opened are also

permeable to urea. This allows urea to leave the collecting duct into the medulla

creating a hyperosmotic solution that 'attracts' water. Urea can then re-enter the

nephron and be excreted or recycled again depending on whether ADH is still present

or not.

The 'Single effect' describes the fact that the ascending thick limb of the loop of Henle is

not permeable to water but is permeable to NaCl. This means that a countercurrent

system is created whereby the medulla becomes increasingly concentrated setting up

an osmotic gradient for water to follow should the aquaporins of the collecting duct be

opened by ADH.

Blood pressure regulation

Long-term regulation of blood pressure predominantly depends upon the kidney. This

primarily occurs through maintenance of theextracellular fluid compartment, the size of

which depends on the plasma sodium concentration. Although the kidney cannot

directly sense blood pressure, changes in the delivery of sodium and chloride to the

distal part of the nephron alter the kidney's secretion of the enzymerenin. When the

extracellular fluid compartment is expanded and blood pressure is high, the delivery of

these ions is increased and renin secretion is decreased. Similarly, when the

extracellular fluid compartment is contracted and blood pressure is low, sodium and

chloride delivery is decreased and renin secretion is increased in response.

Renin is the first in a series of important chemical messengers that comprise the renin-

angiotensin system. Changes in renin ultimately alter the output of this system,

principally the hormones angiotensin II and aldosterone. Each hormone acts via multiple

mechanisms, but both increase the kidney's absorption of sodium chloride, thereby

expanding the extracellular fluid compartment and raising blood pressure. When renin

levels are elevated, the concentrations of angiotensin II and aldosterone increase,

leading to increased sodium chloride reabsorption, expansion of the extracellular fluid

43

Page 44: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

compartment, and an increase in blood pressure. Conversely, when renin levels are

low, angiotensin II and aldosterone levels decrease, contracting the extracellular fluid

compartment, and decreasing blood pressure.

Hormone secretion

The kidneys secrete a variety of hormones, including erythropoietin, calcitriol,

and renin. Erythropoietin is released in response to hypoxia(low levels of oxygen at

tissue level) in the renal circulation. It stimulates erythropoiesis (production of red blood

cells) in the bone marrow.Calcitriol, the activated form of vitamin D, promotes intestinal

absorption of calcium and the renal reabsorption of phosphate. Part of the renin-

angiotensin-aldosterone system, renin is an enzyme involved in the regulation

of aldosterone levels.

Kidney StonesA kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in the kidney out of substances in the urine. Normally, urine contains chemicals that prevent or inhibit the crystals from forming. However, these inhibitors do not seem to work for everyone. Calcium (Oxalate or Phosphate)The most common kidney stone type contains calcium in combination with either oxalate or phosphate. These are called calcium oxalate stones or calcium phosphate kidney stones, respectively. Calcium is a normal part of a healthy diet and makes up important parts of the body, such as bones and muscles. Calcium that is not used by the bones and muscles goes to the kidneys. In most people, the kidneys flush out the extra calcium in the urine. However, when calcium stays in the kidneys, it joins with other waste products to form a calcium kidney stone. StruviteA struvite stone, also known as an infection stone, may form after there is an infection in the urinary system. This type of kidney stone contains the mineral magnesium and the waste product ammonia. Uric AcidA uric acid stone may form when there is too much acid in the urine. If you tend to form uric acid stones, you may need to cut back on the amount of meat that you eat.

CystineCystine is one of the building blocks that make up muscles, nerves, and other parts of the body. Although cystine stones are rare, they may form when there is too much cystine buildup in the urine. The disease that causes this kidney stone type runs in families.

IV. PATHOPHYSIOLOGYA. Narrative Pathophysiology

The urinary calculi (Urolithiasis) are calcifications in the urinary system. There are two primary causative factors related to the formation of these stones such as urinary stasis and supersaturation of urine with poor soluble crystalloids. There are also 2 primary predisposing factors that are related to the case such as age and family history. Age is one factor because it is most common in adults age 40 and older, though kidney stones may occur at any age Family history is another predisposing factor because there is an increase of the disease associated in her paternal side. On the other side the precipitating factors are diet, low intake of water, lifestyle, metabolic disturbances, and urinary stasis. Diet is a factor because increase intake of purines, oxidates, calcium supplements and animal proteins can increase occurrence of the disease process. Low intake of water can increase solute concentration occurs because of fluid depletion or an increased solute load. This increased concentration leads to precipitation of crystals, such as calcium, uric acid, and phosphate. Another factor would be metabolic disturbances. It is because it influences the solubility of certain crystals, with some crystal types precipitating readily in acid urine and some in alkaline urine. Abnormal pH levels occur in renal tubular acidosis with the administration of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, in the presence of urea-splitting bacteria, and in severe, chronic diarrhea. The last precipitating factor would be urine stasis. Stasis of urine from the bladder neck obstruction, continent urinary diversion, and immobilization increases the risk for development of stones because the crystals in unmoving urine precipitate more readily. It all starts with the uric acid, ammonia phosphate, and calcium oxalate stone material deposition on proximal renal tubule. There would then be supersaturation of urine by stone forming constituents and nephrocalcinosis on the proximal tubule. Due to the supersaturation of urine there would then be nidation of crystals of foreign bodies from the supersaturated urine. On the other side, Due to the nephrocalcinosis on the proximal tubule the patient then manifested the Randall’s plaque in relation to the low back flank pain. The stones then progress to the loop of henle and there would be more stones accumulating and would be increasing in size. An increase in stone would then attract itself to the blood vessel wall surface and would finally erode. The process progresses with the stone formation in the kidneys. Due to certain factors such as low intake of water and improper diet, the stone increases its size. Stone matrix progresses due to the mucoproteins that bind to the mass of the stone that forms multiple urinary calculus. On the other hand, due to the stone formation in the kidneys the stones that were accumulated would then descend from the kidneys to the ureter. Growth of these stones continues by aggregation to form larger particles. One of these particles may travel down the urinary tract until it is trapped at some narrow point where for stone formation occurs. It then increases the increases the pressure in the ureter that would then be severely stretched and would then loose its ability to undergo peristaltic contractions. Due to the urethral walls looses its ability to undergo contractions the urethral walls would then bleed and hematuria would again be manifested by the patient. There would also be slowed passage of urine due to the loosed contractions. Due to the bleeding of the urethral walls there would then be invasion and infection of urea splitting bacteria that had increased the production of white blood cells and was manifested with pyuria and fever. The continuous bleeding would result to the scarring

45

Page 46: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

of the urethral walls and would then again increase the stasis of urine in the ureters. The increased stasis would then accumulate the urine substances and nucleation occurs, in which crystals are formed from super saturated urine. Due to these occurrences there would then be stone formation in the bladder and ureters that is manifested with decreased urine output. The process then proceeds with the destruction of normal function of the kidney. One the function of our kidneys is blood formation, due to the destruction of the normal functioning of the kidneys there would then be a decrease in production of erythropoietin. Due to this anemia occurs due to the decrease production of red blood cells including oxygen carrying components called hemoglobin.

(Was not manifested) the disease progresses to a more severe stage. Renal Failure occurs with the increased sympathetic nervous system activity related to dysfunction of autonomic nervous system. There would be an increased activity of renin angiotensin aldosterone system that increases the systemic vascular resistance. It would then also increase the renal absorption of sodium, chloride and water related to a genetic variation in the pathways by which kidneys can handle. There would then be increase in the viscosity of blood as well as increased cardiac workload and would then progress to cardiac failure and finally DEATH.

54

Page 55: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

understanding of stone fragmentation and the etiology of renal injury which have made SWL more effective and safer. Small variations in the technique with which SWL is applied can affect optimal treatment outcomes. For example, a recent literature review and meta-analysis have found that slowing the rate of SWL delivery to 60 shock waves per minute fragments stones more effectively than treatment at a rate of 120 shock waves per minute.

2. Laser Lithotripsy-can be used to fragment stones in the bladder, ureter or kidney via a laser fiber which is passed through an endoscope [Figure 2]. Typically, a Holmium:YAG laser is used, which operates in the near infra-red area of the electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength of approximately 2140 nanometers. The Holmium laser is one of the safest intracorporeal lithotripsies available for stone fragmentation. The depth of tissue penetration of the laser light is 0.5 to 1.0 mm, and the laser may be used in patients receiving anti-coagulation medications. Typical fiber diameter sizes for ureteroscopy

55

Page 56: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

range from 200-400 microns. The rigidity of the fibers can limit the degree of deflection of the flexible ureteroscope, making the treatment of stones in the lower pole of the kidney especially challenging. The upper limit of stone size that can be efficiently treated with laser lithotripsy is approximately 1.5cm. Laser lithotripsy is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient receiving a general anaesthetic. The operating room time varies based on the stone burden being treated and the surgical approach employed, but typically it lasts one to two hours.

3. Rigid Lithotrites- is a minimally invasive treatment alternative to open surgery for patients with large or complex renal calculi. PNL is performed in the operating room using general anesthesia, with the patient typically in the prone position, although supine PNL has been described. A rigid nephroscope is placed into the collecting system of the kidney via a small incision in the flank. Intracorporeal lithotripsy is then performed by inserting a rigid lithotrite through the endoscope and placing it in contact with the

56

Page 57: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

stone. Lithotripters using ultrasonic energy are most commonly utilized during PNL and can efficiently fragment and remove the majority of stone types. Continuous suction irrigation is used to evacuate stone fragments quickly and to maintain clear visibility. However, hard calculi such as cystine and calcium oxalate monohydrate stones are less efficiently fragmented and removed with ultrasonic technology. For these stones, pneumatic lithotripters are often used for fragmentation as these devices readily break stones of any composition.  The chief disadvantage of pneumatic lithotripters, however, is their inability to concurrently evacuate stone debris while fragmenting the stone. Rather, manual fragment removal is needed by using stone graspers, which may be a time-consuming process. 

4. Nephrectomy -The surgery is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision in the side of the abdomen to reach the kidney. Depending on circumstances, the incision can also be made midline. The ureter and blood vessels are disconnected, and the kidney is then removed. The

57

Page 58: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

surgery can be done as open surgery, with one incision, or as a laparoscopic procedure, with three or four small cuts in the abdominal and flank area.

IX. CONCLUSION

The proponents of this case study have gathered all relevant details

regarding the case herein about a 64 year old female diagnosed of

Nonfunctioning kidney secondary to urolithiasis and nephrolithiasis ,

admitted at NMMC. The health team involved in the case provided in conjunction

to the medical treatments, overall nursing management set to alleviate the

client’s condition and support the patient’s over all well being. The necessary

health teachings were also given to the patient and her watcher in order to

alleviate the signs and symptoms of the disease condition.

Implementation of relevant and effective nursing interventions to relieve

signs and symptoms were strictly observed so as to prevent or at least reduce

the risks of complications.

From what the group can surmise however the limitations on the

effectiveness of the provided nursing interventions rest on the grounds of the

presence of irreversible and inalterable factors such as advanced age and

preexisting medical conditions.

With this subsequent information, the persons involved in this study have

realized the significance of this case, its management and its overall impact on

affected clients. In line with this, the proponents worked hand in hand with each

other to help convey what has been researched and planned about the case.

X. RECOMMENDATION

In nursing practice, we recommend student nurses to regularly check and

monitor closely patient’s vital signs especially with patients like NQ that have

advanced age and are diagnosed with other medical conditions which may

75

Page 76: Case Study Non-Fixing Right Kidney Secondary to Obstructing Distal Ureterolithiasis With Nephrolithiasis

aggravate the disorder, over all condition of the patient and prompt adherence to

safety precautions considering that the client is at risk for injury. Also follow up

patient’s medication supply for prompt timing of administration.

It is recommended for the healthcare team to:

Participate the client, family, significant others and members of the healthcare

team to establish client-centered goals directed toward promoting and restoring

the clients optimum state of health, preventing illness and providing rehabilitation.

Support client’s and family’s decisions regarding care.

Promote an environment conducive to maintenance or restoration of the client’s

ability to carry out activities of daily living.

Provide for continuity of care in the management of the disorder

Demonstrate caring behaviors in providing nursing care.

Assist other personnel to develop skills in providing nursing care.

Manage an environment that promotes client’s self-esteem, dignity, safety, and

comfort.

Student nurses and other health care providers should read further

number of books regarding Nonfunctioning kidney secondary to

urolithiasis and nephrolithiasis, be updated about the disease and

incorporate it with desired plan of care. This is to prevent patients with

Nonfunctioning kidney secondary to urolithiasis and nephrolithiasis from

developing severe complications, preserve patients’ health and promote

wellness.
