[Morphologic substrate in bacterial urinary tract infections (author's transl)]. 1981

H G Laberke

Bacterial urinary tract infections can lead to acute or chronic, nonspecific or specific lesions of the kidney, renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra. The inflammatory process may be limited to the kidney and/or to segments of the urinary tract. The most important and frequent pathoanatomic alterations were defined; the microscopic findings were described and supplemented with selected macroscopic and pathogenetic aspects. Juvenile bacterial interstitial nephritis was differentiated from adult bacterial interstitial nephritis on the basis of age-dependent anatomic conditions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007249	Inflammation	A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.	Innate Inflammatory Response,Inflammations,Inflammatory Response, Innate,Innate Inflammatory Responses
D008297	Male		Males
D009395	Nephritis, Interstitial	Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.
