D. Conceptual Framework
For this case, we used Elizabeth Ahmann’s Concept of Family-

COURSE IN THE WARD
On February 18, 2010 at 9:10 am, the patient was brought to Pediatric ward
from ER via wheelchair and admitted to Neuro/Adolescent Room. The patient was
then placed on a low salt and low fat diet ordered by Dra. Navarro.
On February 24, 2010 at 4:10 pm, we received patient on bed, awake with IV
heplock at right metacarpal vein. The I & O and vital signs are monitored, RR=22,
PR=112, BP=110/80, Temp= 38.4°C, Weight = 14.5 kg. He was febrile and we
gave him a Tepid Sponge Bath (TSB) to lower his temperature. After 30minutes, his
temperature subsides at 37.9°C.
On February 25, 2010 at 3:50 pm, the patient was still on bed, with IV
heplock, awake and not cooperative. I & O was taken and recorded. The vital signs
were also monitored, RR=24, PR=122, BP=100/60, Temp=37.7°C, Weight = 14.4
kg. After all intervention was done, health teaching regarding on proper personal
hygiene practices, to weigh daily, reporting signs of protein deficiency, increased
ICP, or DOB was told to the patient and to guardian.

ANATOMY
The Kidneys
The kidneys are two, bean-shaped
organs that are located in the back
part of the abdomen, on either side of
the spine and approximately between
the twelfth thoracic and third lumbar
vertebrae. Often, the left kidney is
positioned up to an inch higher than
the right kidney. Each kidney is about
4-5 inches long and about two inches
thick, weighing 4-6 ounces in the
average adult. Because of the
presence of many blood vessels, the
kidneys are colored a dark reddish-
brown.
The Nephron
The Loop of Henle is the part of the nephron that contains the basic pathway for
liquid. The liquid begins at the Bowman's capsule (upper left) and then flows
through the proximal convoluted tubule. It is here that Sodium, water, amino acids,
and glucose get reabsorbed. The filtrate then flows down the descending limb and
then back up. On the way it passes a major bend called the Loop Of Henle. This is
located in the medulla of the kidney. As it approaches the top again, hydrogen ions
(waste) flow into the tube and down the collecting duct.
So, essentially, nutrients flow in through the left and exit through the right. Along
the way, salts, carbohydrates, and water pass through and are reabsorbed.
19 | P a g e
The Glomerulus
The glomerulus is the main filter of the nephron and is located within the
Bowman's capsule. The glomerulus resembles a twisted mass of tiny tubes through
which the blood passes. The glomerulus is semipermeable, allowing water and
soluble wastes to pass through and be excreted out of the Bowman's capsule as
urine. The filtered blood passes out of the glomerulus into the efferent arteriole to
be returned through the medullary plexus to the intralobular vein.
Bowman's Capsule
The Bowman's capsule contains the primary filtering device of the nephron, the
glomerulus. Blood is transported into the Bowman's capsule from the afferent
arteriole (branching off of the interlobular artery). Within the capsule, the blood is
filtered through the glomerulus and then passes out via the efferent arteriole.
Meanwhile, the filtered water and aqueous wastes are passed out of the Bowman's
capsule into the proximal convoluted tubule.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
20 | P a g e
Most forms of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis are mediated by an
immunologic process. Both cellular and humoral immunity is important in the
pathogenesis of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Humoral immunity in
acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is presumed to be mediated by the in
situ formation of nephritogenic streptococcal antigen-antibody complexes and
circulating immune complexes. The most widely proposed mechanism for the
development of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is that nephritogenic
streptococci produce proteins with unique antigenic determinants. These antigenic
determinants have a particular affinity for sites within the normal glomerulus.
Following release into the circulation, these antigens bind to these sites
within the glomerulus. Once bound to the glomerulus, they activate complement
directly by interaction with properdin. Glomerular-bound streptococcal antibodies
also serve as fixed antigens and bind to circulating antistreptococcal antibodies
forming immune complexes. Complement fixation via the classical pathway leads to
generation of additional inflammatory mediators and recruitment of inflammatory
cells.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
21 | P a g e
• Hematuria (microscopic or gross), occurs in approximately 30% of
cases; urine may appear dark, cola-colored or tea-like
• Urinalysis; dark urine, (+) RBC, albumin, casts; specific gravity > 1.020
COMPLICATIONS
• Hypertensive encephalopathy
• Heart failure
• Pulmonary edema
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
22 | P a g e
Acute glomerulonephritis is usually self-limiting, so management is aimed at
treating symptoms, preserving kidney function and treating complications promptly.
Pharmacologic treatment depends on a case-to-case basis. If there is residual
streptococcal infection, then penicillin is the drug of choice; however, other
antibiotics can also be given. Loop diuretics and antihypertensives are used to
control hypertension. Sodium is restricted, as is fluid intake because of fluid volume
excess. Carbohydrates are given liberally to provide energy and to reduce
catabolism of proteins. As for proteins, there are two schools of thought: dietary
restriction or increased intake. Dietary restriction is merited only when there is
nitrogen retention (elevated BUN) and/or renal insufficiency. However, due to
albuminuria, the client loses more proteins than can be replaced. Hence, most diets
would include foods high in albumin and other complete proteins, such as egg
whites and dairy products.

DISCHARGE PLAN
MEDICATION
- Nifedipine 10 mg TID
EXERCISE/ENVIRONMENT
- Advice client and his family to try to have or maintain safe , clean, comfortable
and calm environment .
TREATMENT
- Tell significant others to closely watch and monitor for signs of developing
kidney failure.
35 | P a g e
- Describe to the client the signs and symptoms to be reported immediately
(Blood in the urine , foamy urine, swelling on he face , legs and abdomen).
- Clearly and specifically explain the nature of the disease, its coarse and
eventual prognosis of the condition to the child ( if old enough to understand )
and parents or caregivers. They need to understand that while complete
resolution is expected, a small possibility exists for persistent disease and
that an even smaller possibility exists for progression . This info is necessary
for some patients to ensure that compliance with the follow up program
occurs.
- Clearly outline a follow-up plan and discuss the plan with the family . BP
measurements and urine examinations for proteins and blood constitutes the
basis of follow up plan. Perform examination at 4-week or 6-week intervals
for the first 6 months and at 3 to 6 month intervals thereafter, until both
hematuria and proteinuria have been absent and BP has been normal for 1yr.
Documenting that low C3 Has returned to normal after 8-10 weeks may be
useful.
OPD
- Remind client of his check-up schedules and appointments . tell him to attend
them as diligently as he can . this is to rule out the recurrence or progression
of the problem.
DIET
SPIRITUAL
36 | P a g e
- Counseling: Tell the client that neither he nor GOD is to blame for his
condition , everything happens for a reason , GOD will not give you a problem
you cant handle.
- Advise relatives or significant others to provide moral support and widen their
understanding. Also tell them to pray for the client to help with the recovery
