LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• review the anatomy and
physiology of the renal system
• interpret the term renal calculi
• describe the etiology of renal
calculi
• discuss the pathogenesis involved
in the disease process
• list the types of renal calculi
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• examine the clinical manifestations
closely
• differentiate the various diagnostic
measures
• explain the medical management
• Identify the surgical management of
renal calculi
• distinguish the nursing management
for renal calculi including the
nursing diagnosis
THE RENAL SYSTEM
THE RENAL SYSTEM
DEFINITION
• Nephrolithiasis refers to renal stone
disease; urolithiasis refers to the
presence of stones in the urinary
system. Stones, or calculi, are formed
in the urinary tract from the kidney to
bladder by the crystallization of
substances excreted in the urine

ETIOLOGY
ETIOLOGY
RISK FACTORS
RISK FACTORS
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Slow urineflow,resulting in supersaturation of
the urinewith the particular element that first
become crystallized and later becomestone
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Damageto the lining of the urinarytract
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Decreased inhibitorsubstances in the urinethat
wouldotherwise prevent supersaturation and
crystalline aggregation
TYPES OF STONES
• Calcium Phosphate
• Calcium oxalate
• Uric acid
• Cystine
• Struvite
CLINICAL MANIFESTSTIONS
• Severe
abdominal or
flank pain
• Frequency and
dysuria
• Oliguria and
anuria in
obstruction
CLINICAL MANIFESTSTIONS
• Hematuria
• Renal colic
• Nausea
• hydronephrosi

OTHER TECHNIQUES
• Avoiding over
hydration and

• Strain the urine
• Send any strained
stone to laboratory

NURSING MANAGEMENT
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• Acute pain related to
irritation and spasm from
stone movement in the
urinary tract as manifested
by complaints of pain, facial
grimacing, restlessness
• Anxiety related to
uncertain outcome and
lack of knowledge
regarding possible
surgery as manifested by
expressions
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• Ineffective therapeutic
regimen management
related to lack of knowledge
as manifested by repeated
questions
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• Impaired urinary elimination
related to trauma or
blockage of ureters or
urethra as manifested by
decreased urinary output
and bloody urine
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• Risk for infection related to
introduction of bacteria
following manipulations of
the urinary tract and
obstructed urinary blood
flow
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
PREVENTION
• Avoid proteinintake; usuallyproteinis restrictedto
60g/day to decrease urinary excretionof calciumand
uric acid.
• A sodium intakeof 3 to 4 g/day is recommended. Table
salt andhigh-sodium foods shouldbe reduced, because
sodiumcompetes withcalciumfor reabsorptionin the
kidneys.
• Low-calcium diets are not generallyrecommended,except for
true absorptive hypercalciuria. Evidence shows thatlimiting
calcium, especially in women, can lead to osteoporosis and
does not prevent renal stones.
• Avoid intakeof oxalate-containingfoods (eg,
spinach,strawberries, rhubarb, tea, peanuts,wheat bran).
PREVENTION
• During the day, drink fluids(ideallywater) every1 to 2
hours.
• Drink two glassesof water atbedtime andan
additional glassat each nighttimeawakening to
prevent urine from becoming too concentratedduring
the night.
PREVENTION
• Avoid activitiesleadingto suddenincreasesin
environmental temperatures that may cause excessive
sweatingand dehydration.
• Contact your primary healthcare provider at the first
sign of a urinary tract infection
PREVENTION
