Question 1

Match the predisposing factors causing pyelonephritis to the pathology mechanism.
-Impairment to the bladder interferes with normal bladder contraction causing residual urine and ascending infection
A)Kidney stones
B)Vesicoureteral reflux
C)Pregnancy
D)Neurogenic bladder
E)Female sexual trauma

Accepted Answer

Neurogenic bladder can lead to impaired bladder contraction, resulting in residual urine and increased risk of ascending infections like pyelonephritis.

Question 2

Match the predisposing factors causing pyelonephritis to the pathology mechanism.
-Chronic reflux of urine up the ureter and into the kidney during micturition contributing to bacterial infection
A)Kidney stones
B)Vesicoureteral reflux
C)Pregnancy
D)Neurogenic bladder
E)Female sexual trauma

Accepted Answer

Vesicoureteral reflux is a predisposing factor causing pyelonephritis by allowing urine to flow back into the ureter and kidney, leading to bacterial infection. This is due to a faulty valve mechanism between the bladder and ureter.

Question 3

Match the predisposing factors causing pyelonephritis to the pathology mechanism.
-Obstruction and stasis of urine contributing to bacteremia and hydronephrosis; irritation of epithelial lining with entrapment of bacteria
A)Kidney stones
B)Vesicoureteral reflux
C)Pregnancy
D)Neurogenic bladder
E)Female sexual trauma
