Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System II: Inspection and Palpation

The nursing assessment of the genitourinary (GU) system involves a systematic inspection and palpation to identify abnormalities in the kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures.InspectionMouth: Inspect for signs of kidney dysfunction, such as stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth) and ammonia breath, which may occur in advanced kidney disease due to the buildup of urea, breaking down into ammonia.Skin: Check for pallor, which could indicate anemia caused by kidney disease.

Retroperitoneal masses (RPM) often present late. Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (M. Ormond) is common, but secondary causes like neoplasms require investigation and tailored therapy for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal masses (RPM) can present with severe symptoms like hypertension and renal failure.
  • Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (M. Ormond) accounts for 75% of RPM cases.
  • Secondary causes include neoplasms, infections, and iatrogenic factors.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A 35-year-old male with hypertension, visual impairment, and acute renal failure due to obstructive uropathy caused by periureteral masses.
  • Case 2: A 61-year-old female with hypertension, epistaxis, and a retroperitoneal mass compressing the renal artery, diagnosed as adenocarcinoma.

Findings:

  • Case 1: Successful treatment of obstructive uropathy and immunosuppressive therapy led to complete renal function recovery.
  • Case 2: Despite palliative chemotherapy, the adenocarcinoma progressed to osteoblastic metastases.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and histological investigation are crucial for RPM, especially with atypical presentations or suspected malignancy.
  • Treatment strategies for RPM vary based on etiology, ranging from immunosuppression for M. Ormond to cause-specific therapy for secondary RPM.
