BackgroundApproximately 15% of community-prescribed antibiotics are used in treating urinary tract infections (UTIs). Increase in antibiotic resistance necessitates considering alternatives.AimTo assess the impact of increased fluid intake in individuals at risk for UTIs, for impact on UTI recurrence (primary outcome), antimicrobial use, and UTI symptoms (secondary outcomes).Design and settingA systematic review.MethodThe authors searched PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, two trial registries, and conducted forward and backward citation searches of included studies in January 2019. Randomised controlled trials of individuals at risk for UTIs were included; comparisons with antimicrobials were excluded. Different time-points (≤6 months and 12 months) were compared for the primary outcome. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Meta-analyses were undertaken where ≥3 studies reported the same outcome.ResultsEight studies were included; seven were meta-analysed. There was a statistically non-significant reduction in the number of patients with any UTI recurrence in the increased fluid intake group compared with control after 12 months (odds ratio [OR] 0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.15 to 1.03, P = 0.06); reduction was significant at ≤6 months (OR 0.13, 95% CI = 0.07 to 0.25, P<0.001). Excluding studies with low volume of fluid (<200 ml) significantly favoured increased fluid intake (OR 0.25, 95% CI = 0.11 to 0.59, P = 0.001). Increased fluid intake reduced the overall rate of all recurrent UTIs (rate ratio [RR] 0.46, 95% CI = 0.40 to 0.54, P<0.001); there was no difference in antimicrobial use (OR 0.52, 95% CI = 0.25 to 1.07, P = 0.08). Paucity of data precluded meta-analysing symptoms.ConclusionGiven the minimal potential for harm, patients with recurrent UTIs could be advised to drink more fluids to reduce recurrent UTIs. Further research is warranted to establish the optimal volume and type of increased fluid.

Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a frequent cause of morbidity in children and adults and affect up to 10% of children; its recurrence rate is estimated at 30–40%. UTI may occur in up to 50% of all women in their lifetimes and frequently require medication. Recent advances have suggested that a deregulation of candidate genes in humans may predispose patients to recurrent UTI. The identification of a genetic component of UTI recurrences will make it possible to diagnose at-risk adults and to predict genetic recurrences in their offspring. Six out of 14 genes investigated in humans may be associated with susceptibility to recurrent UTI in humans. In particular, the HSPA1B, CXCR1 & 2, TLR2, TLR4, TGF-1 genes seem to be associated with an alteration of the host response to UTIs at various levels.

Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections remain a significant cause of morbidity throughout the globe. Proper understanding of the disease is extremely important for appropriate management. Recent studies have helped to define the population groups at risk for these infections, as well as the most cost-effective management strategies. This article will discuss aspects of initial diagnosis and subsequent management of different high risk groups.

Tract Infections

Renal abscesses begin with urinary tract infections, which spread to the kidney, usually as a result of pyelonephritis. Patients are especially at risk for renal abscesses if they have anatomical abnormalities in the urinary tract, predisposing to infection. Other risk factors include pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, renal calculi, or ureteral obstruction [3].

Tract Infections

Bladder infections are an inflammation that occurs in the bladder. Bladder infections are commonly caused by bacteria. Compared with men, women are more likely to have bladder infections. Masaah to be solved is a picture of urinary tract infections in the community at risk (CSW) around the area of Senggigi and how the public insight about healthy and clean living behavior in the prevention of urinary tract infections in the community at risk (PSK)? Purpose: Pengabmas aims to Improve public understanding about the picture of urinary tract infection at risk society by looking at result of examination of patient's urine (PSK). The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. Result : Gram average result of basil (-) as many as 9 people, Coccus (-) as many as 4 people and the rest (2 people) with the results of Diplo Basil (-). On examination of culture showed results of Nesseria gonore positive as many as 5 people, Pseudomonas 1 person and E coli as many as 9 people. This implies that most prostitutes are infected / infected by the urinary tract by germs that endanger the sex of the sex workers. The results obtained are reported to PKM Meninting for follow-up. It is recommended for more targeted personnel to evaluate and monitor the condition of CSWs in the field.
