weeks. She got only 2 doses of TT for whole period of pregnancy. When she reached her sixth month of pregnancy, she visited her attending midwife twice a month every Monday for her prenatal session.

She first experienced quickening during her fifth month of pregnancy. She had also undergone pelvic ultrasound at her 6 months of pregnancy and revealed no signs of any abnormalities to the growth of fetus.

Episiotomy was made to Mrs. GT. GRT was delivered at 6:45 pm via normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) in cephalic presentation at Iloilo Doctor’s Lying-in Clinic last January 15, 2005 and was attended by Dr. F.O.

IV. NEONATAL HISTORY

GRT cries loudly. The body appears pinkish in color. The anthropometric measurement of GRT was 2850 grams in weight and 47cm in height. His head circumference was 31 cm, chest circumference of 30 cm and abdominal circumference of 30 cm. GRT was injected with Vitamin K at Left vastus lateralis and Hepa B at R vastus lateralis. Baby GRT was discharge after 24 hours of observation.

V. POST NATAL HISTORY

According to Mrs. GT, GRT has a good sucking reflex during breastfeeding. 5 days after delivery, the umbilicus of GRT was totally healed

Page 6: Wilm's Tumor

and dried. After 1 month Mrs. GT brought GRT to their Barangay Health Center for immunization of DPT and Hepa B.

VI. NUTRITION

GRT was purely breastfed from birth up to six months. Mrs. GT started to introduce mixed feeding the month thereafter with formula milk of Bona 3-4 scoops per 50ml water and he could consume 3-4 bottles of formula milk a day. Mrs. GT gave Tiki-tiki plus 1 ml and GRT started to eat supplementary foods like cereals when he was four months old. Mrs. GT started to offer solid foods when GRT was 6 months old such as biscuits and rice with maximum of 2 tablespoons, 2-3 times a day. Mrs. GT ensures that GRT get adequate nutrients from the food he consumed. She usually prepared nutritious foods such as vegetables, fruits and fish.At the age of 2 years old he started to choose own foods preferably junk foods, meat and fried chicken, he seldom eats vegetables. Oftentimes he drinks softdrinks and 2-3 glasses of water a day. GRT eats three times a day.

VII. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

GRT’s birth weight was 2850 grams and 47 cm in height. During infancy GRT exhibits normal development of an infant just like the presence of primitive reflexes such as moro reflex, tonic neck reflex and sucking reflex on his first month. As well as his hands kept fisted and able to follow object to midline. On his second month, he could hold his head up when prone, he started to show his social smile, could made sounds and enjoyed bright colored objects. On the third month, he can hold his head and chest up when prone, could follow object past midline, could laugh out loud, and spent time looking at hands or uses them as toy. On the fourth month, his grasp, stepping, tonic neck reflexes were fading, he needed more space to turn. On the fifth month he could turn front to back and could handle rattles well. On his sixth month, he could turn both ways and moro reflex fading, he uses palmar grasp, could say “oh-oh”. First tooth erupted (central incisor), could sit unsteadily, could transfer objects hand to hand, and started to have fear on strangers on the seventh month. He could sit securely without support on the 8th month. On his ninth month he started to crawl and his first word was “mama”. He could pull self to standing, uses pincer grasp to pick up small objects, played games like peek-a-boo on the tenth month. He could walk with support on eleventh month. And on his first year he could stand alone and took his first step, could say ma-ma and da-da. According to Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory infancy is termed to be on “oral phase” because

Page 7: Wilm's Tumor

infants are so interested on oral stimulation or pleasure during this time, they suck for enjoyment or relief of tension, as well as for nourishment (Pillitteri, 2007).

On his toddler days he could hold a spoon well but may still turn it upside down on the way to the month, could walk alone, seat self in chair, could creep upstairs, able to say 4-6 words like “hindi”, and “mamam”. At year and a-half he could run and jump in place and walked up and down stairs holding into a person’s hand or railing. And on following years he could make lines or strokes for crosses with a pencil. A verbal language increases steadily. Spent time playing with his toys, either he’s alone or with friends. He’s afraid to be separated with her mama. In relation to Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development in this stage of childhood the child is forming a sense of autonomy versus shame wherein a child learns to be independent and make decisions for self(Pillitteri, 2007). Also exhibits parallel play.

As a preschooler, based on Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory little G.R.T. is in Phallic stage because he can identify his gender as a male. He could differentiate a boy from a girl. According to his mother, she could sometimes observe him fondling his genitals especially during bedtime. And according to Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial development he is in Intuitive VS Guilt stage in which he imitates dance steps, and interprets songs played in televisions as well as he loves to follow the actions of his father just like for example painting the walls.

And in relation to Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive development he is on Intuitive thought wherein he can identify different colors, can count numbers from 1-10, able to memorized alphabet from A-J and able to answer simple questions just like “what is your name?” and “how old are you?” And lastly with regards to Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development he’s on Pre-conventional level 1 wherein he usually follow his mother but he is expecting a reward from her like getting something in their house as instructed to him in exchange of 5-peso coin. He usually does things for his own benefit. Currently he is 14 kilograms in weight. He is enrolled as a nursery pupil at Tilipunan Day Care Center.

A complete blood count (CBC) test measures the following:

The number of red blood cells (RBCs) The number of white blood cells (WBCs) The total amount of hemoglobin in the blood The fraction of the blood composed of red blood cells (hematocrit) The size of the red blood cells (mean corpuscular volume, or MCV)

The CBC test also provides specific information the size and hemoglobin content of individual red blood cells. This is determined from the additional following measurements:

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)

The platelet count is also usually included in the CBC.

Urinalysis:

Urinalysis is the physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of urine. It involves a number of tests to detect and measure various compounds that pass through the urine, done:

As part of a routine medical exam to screen for early signs of disease If you have signs of diabetes or kidney disease, or to monitor you if you are being

treated for these conditions To check for blood in the urine To diagnose a urinary tract infection

Microscopic appearance:o The urine sample is examined under a microscope. This is done to look at

cells, urine crystals, mucus, and other substances, and to identify any bacteria or other microorganisms that might be present.

Chemical appearance:o A special stick ("dipstick") tests for various substances in the urine. The

stick contains little pads of chemicals that change color when they come in contact with the substances of interest.

Urine specific gravity:

o is a laboratory test that measures the concentration of all chemical

particles in the urine, helps evaluate your body's water balance and urine concentration.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGYOF THE

Page 25: Wilm's Tumor

URINARY SYSTEM

Group of organs in the body concerned with filtering out excess fluid and other substances from the bloodstream.

The substances are filtered out from the body in the form of urine. Urine is a liquid produced by the kidneys, collected in the bladder and

excreted through the urethra. It is used to extract excess minerals or vitamins as well as blood corpuscles from the body.

The Urinary organs include the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The Urinary system works with the other systems of the body to help

maintain homeostasis. KIDNEYS: are the main organs of homeostasis because they maintain

the acid base balance and the water salt balance of the blood

Urethra

Is a muscular tube that connects the bladder with the outside of the body.

Its function is to remove urine from the body.

It measures about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in a woman but up to 8 inches (20 cm) in a man.

Men have a longer urethra than women. This means that women tend to be more susceptible to infections of the bladder (cystitis) and the urinary tract.

Male urethra

Page 26: Wilm's Tumor

In the human male, the urethra is about 8 inches long and opens at the end of the head of the penis.

The length of a male's urethra, and the fact it contains a number of bends, makes catheterisation more difficult.

Urinary Bladder

Is a hollow, muscular and distendible or elastic organ that sits on the pelvic floor (superior to the prostate in males).

Can hold approximately 17 to 18 ounces (500 to 530 ml) of urine, however the desire to micturate is usually experienced when it contains about 150 to 200 ml.

Ureters

These are two tubes that drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Each ureters is a muscular tube about 10 inches (25 cm) long. Muscles in the walls of the ureters send the urine in small spurts into the bladder, (a collapsible sac found on the forward part of the cavity of the bony pelvis that allows temporary storage of urine). After the urine enters the bladder from the ureters, small folds in the bladder mucosa act like valves preventing backward flow of the urine.

The outlet of the bladder is controlled by a sphincter muscle.

are two tubes that drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Each ureter is a muscular tube about 10 inches (25 cm) long.

Kidney

Are a pair of bean shaped, reddish brown organs about the size of your fist. It measures 10-12 cm long, 2.5 cm in thickness, 5-7 cm wide, 120 – 170 g. They are covered by the renal capsule, which is a tough capsule of fibrous connective tissue.

Supply 20% – 25% of cardiac output

Located peritoneally (behind and outside the peritoneal cavity) on the posterior wall of the abdomen from the 12th thoracic vertebra to the 3th lumbar vertebra in the adult.

They are considered retroperitoneal, which means they lie behind the peritoneum.

Page 27: Wilm's Tumor

There are three major regions of the kidney, renal cortex, renal medulla and the renal pelvis.

STRUCTURE OF KIDNEY

Renal Cortex- contains the glumeruli, proximal and distal tubules and cortical collecting ducts and their adjacent peritubullar capillaries. It Contains 85% of nephrons.

Renal Medulla- It resembles conical pyramids. The pyramids are situated with the base facing the concave surfface of the kidney and the apex facing the hilum, or pelvis. Each kidney contains approximately 8-18 pyramids. Contains 15-20% of nephrons

Renal Pelvis or Hilum- It is the concave portion of the kidney through which the renal artery enters and the renal vein exits.

Renal Vein

are veins that drain the kidney.

They connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava.

Page 28: Wilm's Tumor

Renal arteries 

normally arise off the abdominal aorta and supply the kidneys with blood.

Afferent/Efferent Arterioles

afferent arteriole supplies blood to the glomerulus. A group of specialized cells known as juxtaglomerular cells are

located around the afferent arteriole where it enters the renal corpuscle

The efferent arteriole drains the glomerulus. Between the two arterioles lies specialized cells called the macula

densa.

Nephrons

is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. its chief function is to regulate water and soluble substances by

filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.

eliminate wastes from the body, regulate blood volume and pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate blood pH. Its functions are vital to life and are regulated by the endocrine system by hormones such as antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone, and parathyroid hormone.

NEPHRONE STRUCTURE

Page 29: Wilm's Tumor

Glomerulus

is a capillary tuft that receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation.

The glomerular blood pressure provides the driving force for fluid and solutes to be filtered out of the blood and into the space made by Bowman's capsule.

Glomerular Capsule or Bowman's Capsule

surrounds the glomerulus and is composed of visceral (simple squamous epithelial cells) (inner) and parietal (simple squamous epithelial cells) (outer) layers.

The process of filtration of the blood in the Bowman's capsule is ultrafiltration (or glomerular filtration), and the normal rate of filtration is 125 ml/min, equivalent to ten times the blood volume daily.

Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)

The proximal tubule can be anatomically divided into two segments: the proximal convoluted tubule and the proximal straight tubule.

The proximal convoluted tubule can be divided further into S1 and S2 segments based on the histological appearance of it's cells.

Can hold 10ml urine.

The Nephron Loop or Loop of Henle.

is a U-shaped tube that consists of a descending limb and ascending limb.

Page 30: Wilm's Tumor

It begins in the cortex, receiving filtrate from the proximal convoluted tubule, extends into the medulla, and then returns to the cortex to empty into the distal convoluted tubule.

Its primary role is to concentrate the salt in the interstitium, the tissue surrounding the loop.

Descending limb

Its descending limb is permeable to water but completely impermeable to salt, and thus only indirectly contributes to the concentration of the interstitium.

Ascending limb

is impermeable to water, a critical feature of the countercurrent exchange mechanism employed by the loop.

The ascending limb actively pumps sodium out of the filtrate, generating the hypertonic interstitium that drives countercurrent exchange.s

Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)

The distal convoluted tubule is similar to the proximal convoluted tubule in structure and function.

Kidney Functions

1. Erythropoietin production – when the kidneys sense a decrease in the oxygen tension in renal blood flow, they release erythropoietin. Erythropoietin stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells (RBCs), thereby increasing the amount of hemoglobin available to carry oxygen.

2. Vitamin D synthesis – the kidneys are also responsible for the final conversion of inactive vitamin D to its active form, 1, 25 – dihydroxycholycalciferol. Vitamin D is necessary for maintaining normal calcium balance in the body.

3. Regulate pH level – the kidney partner up with the lungs and together control the pH. The kidneys have a major role because they control the

Page 31: Wilm's Tumor

amount of bicarbonate excreted or held onto. The kidneys help maintain tha blood pH mainly by excreting hydrogen ions and reabsorbing bicarbonate ions as needed.

4. Maintaining Water-Salt Balance- It is the job of the kidneys to maintain the water-salt balance of the blood. It also maintain blood volume as well as blood pressure.

5. Removal of metabolic waste products and foreign substances from the plasma- kidneys excrete nitrogenous waste. As the liver breaks down amino acids it also releases ammonia. The liver then quikly combines that ammonia with carbon dioxide, creating urea which is the primary nitrogenous end product of metabolism in human. We can also excrete some ammonia, creatinine and uric acid. The creatinine comes from the metabolic breakdown of creatinine phosphate. Uric acid in the blood will build up and form crystals that can collect in the joints and cause gout.

6. Renin-angiotensin aldosterone system- Renin is an enzyme that converts angiotensinogen, an inactive substance fromed by the liver, into angiotensin 1. renin is release by the juxtaglumerular cells of the kidneys in response to decrease renal perfusion. Angiotensin-converting enzyme converts angiotensin 1 to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II, with its vasoconstrictor properties, increases arterial perfusion pressure and stimulate thirst. As the symphathetic nervous system is stimulated, aldosterone is release in response to an increase release of renin. Aldosterone is a volume regulator and is also release as serum potassium increases, serum sodium decreases or adrenocorticotropic hormone increases.

FORMATION OF URINE

Urine is formed in three steps: Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion.

Filtration

Blood enters the afferent arteriole and flows into the glomerulus.

Reabsorption

Within the peritubular capillary network, molecules and ions are reabsorbed back into the blood.

Page 32: Wilm's Tumor

Secretion

Some substances are removed from blood through the peritubular capillary network into the distal convoluted tubule or collecting duct.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Wilms’ tumor, also called nephroblastoma, is the most common type of kidney cancer that affects children. It usually affects only one kidney, but in few cases (5 percent) tumors occur in both kidneys. Unfortunately, Wilm’s tumor is diagnosed only when the tumor is already big, but before the cancer metastasize. Kidneys start to develop before the baby is born, when the kidney’s cells are not yet differentiated into various mature kidney cells. The maturation process of the kidney cells ends around the age of three or four. However, this maturation process can be impaired, and some of these undifferentiated cells grow and divide uncontrollably and exaggerated causing tumors to form.

Discharge PlanGeneral Objective

To provide continuity of care and appropriate needs and teachings at home in the absence of a professional healthcare provider after discharge from the hospital.

Specific objectives• Client’s folks will be oriented about the client’s disease process in

order for them to be fully aware about the client’s health status.• Client’s folks will observe proper aseptic technique in rendering home

care to eliminate the spread of pathogens and microbes that can possibly infect primary and secondary infection to the client as well as to the whole members of the family.

• Client’s folks will employ certain measures that will include promotion, prevention, cure and rehabilitation of the client’s health status.

• Provide education on client and folks about proper nutrition.• Instruct the mother to strictly follow the therapeutic regimen of her

child indicated by the physician on the discharge instructions to prevent complications.

• Inform the folks of the schedule for the follow-up visit in order to assess health status.

Health Teaching

A. Knowledge

Wilms’ tumor also called nephroblastoma is a rare type of kidney cancer that affects mostly children. It causes a tumor on one or both kidneys. Having certain genetic conditions or birth defects can increase the risk of developing Wilms’ tumor. The peak time of Wilms’ tumor occurrence is around ages 3 to 4, and it occurs only rarely after age 6.

Page 37: Wilm's Tumor

Signs and Symptoms

Abdominal swelling An abdominal mass you can feel

FeverBlood in the urine (hematuria) Reduced Appetite High blood pressure Constipation Stomach Pain Nausea

Risk factor

• Sex – girls are slightly more likely to develop Wilms’ tumor than boys• Race – black children have a slightly higher risk than Asian – American• Family history – if someone had Wilms’ tumor in the family or presence

of any type of cancer increase the risk• Aniridia – iris of the eye forms particularly or not at all• Hemihypertrophy – one side of the body is noticeably larger than other

side • Undescended testicles – one or both testicles fail to descend into the

scrotum• Hypospadias – urinary (urethral) opening is not at the tip of the penis

but on the other sideSexRace Family History AniridiaHemihypertrophy Undescended testiclesHypospadias

Stages

• Stage I – cancer is only found in the kidney• Stage II – cancer has spread deeper into other parts of the kidney and

to nearby blood vessels, but was completely removed by surgery. No cancer cells are found at the edges of the area where the tumor was removed.

Page 38: Wilm's Tumor

• Stage III – cancer has spread beyond the kidney area to nearby lymph nodes or other structures within the abdomen

• Stage IV – cancer has spread to distant structures such as the lungs, liver or brain

• Stage V – cancer cells affect both kidneys

RATIONALE:To give folks an idea regarding the disease process, signs and

symptoms, risk factors and treatment.

B. Personal Hygiene

Instruct client/folks to practice strict hand washing before and after eating or before and after using the toilet to prevent the spread of infection among the family members and to reduce the risk of wound infection. Intruct client’s mother to keep client’s fingernails clean and short to prevent from scratching that results in skin injury. Instruct client/folks to clean thoroughly fresh fruits before eating to avoid from ingestion of pathogens and any microorganisms. Instruct client/folks to change clothing everyday or frequently as much as possible to promote comfort and to grooming. Instruct folks to provide a smoke free and dust free environment for the client to avoid nasal irritation that might aggravate client’s condition. Instruct folks to change bed linens thrice a week to prevent to prevent dwelling of microbes, dust and viruses in the linens. Instruct client to avoid touching the surgical site to reduce the risk of infection and injury. Clean skin surface with running water and mild soap after change of dressing to reduce skin contaminants. If client cannot take a bath, offer him regular sponge bathing when client verbalized feeling of discomfort to promote comfort and well-being. Instruct folks to observe proper aseptic in dressing and cleaning of surgical site to reduce the risk of contamination and infection. Encourage good oral hygiene such as mouth rinse that can be helpful for sores or areas that are bleeding and use of lip balm or petroleum jelly to soothe cracked lips.

RATIONALE:Proper personal hygiene prevents contamination and spread of

microorganisms which can lead to further complications and infections.

C. Activities of daily living

Encourage client to turn reposition, transfer and ambulate to promote blood circulation, increase peristalsis and pain tolerance; promote maximum

Page 39: Wilm's Tumor

lung expansion during respiration. Tell the mother to make sure that her child avoid vigorous exercise or activities and exhaustion and always have rest periods. Encourage client to take adequate rest and sleep to avoid stress. Instruct client to continue deep breathing 10x per hour to improve lung ventilation and produces endorphins that promotes feeling of comfort. Encourage/instruct the client or address the mother to avoid second hand smoking and any other strong chemicals to be inhaled because these could enter the blood stream and could affect his health condition. Encourage folks to boil or sterilize their drinking water to prevent ingestion of pathogens such as Entamoeba Hystolitica. Avoid doing hard activities, such as heavy lifting, pulling, and pushing. Instruct client to limit body movements, especially bending his back. Encourage walking soon after surgery for early return bowel function, promotes effective breathing, mobilizes secretions, improves circulation, prevents stiffness of joints and relieves pressure. Inform the mother to inspect surgical site/size, noting characteristics and integrity to recognize early or delayed healing/developing complication may prevent a more serious situation such as infection. Monitor surgical dressing, placement, and bleeding to make appropriate referrals if there are significant findings such as hypovolemic shock.

RATIONALE:To give on folks what activities of daily living must be practice at home

to aid prevention and recovery for the client.

C. Nutrition

Encourage to continue to eat vitamin C rich foods such as citrus fruits and protein such as meat products, for faster wound healing and prevents infection by enhancing immune system/response. Instruct mother to include fruits and vegetable in client’s diet to replace dead cells and tissue in the body. A well balanced diet is encouraged to promote healing and good bowel function. Encourage client’s folks to have an adequate hydration by drinking at least 6 - 8 glasses of sterilized water to promote blood circulation and maintain fluid balance in the body. Instruct mother to provide foods to the client that is rich in iron and vitamin C to boost the immune system. Instruct the mother to avoid foods that are oily in order not to aggravate client’s health condition. Prepare favorite foods to gain weight for upcoming chemotherapy because his appetite may decrease. Instruct mother to increase fluid intake of the child to counter the decrease in solid food intake. Avoid legumes because it is high in purines which produce uric acid that can deposit in the kidneys in the form of urate stones.

RATIONALE:To take foods that promotes and aid recovery and avoidance of

restricted foods.

Page 40: Wilm's Tumor

D. Medication

Instruct the mother to follow the medication program carefully. The drugs prescribed to client are designed to prevent various complications and to treat the condition.

MEDICATION DOSAGE and TIMING INDICATION

Paracetamol 240 mg/5ml, 5ml every 4 hours for 7 days

For mild pain and fever

Cefuroxime 125 mg/8ml, 8ml every 8 hours for 10 days

For the treatment of many different types of bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections.

Strictly instruct the mother not to give any medicines, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, herbs, or food supplements to her child without first talking to physician. Tell the mother to call the physician if she thinks the medicines are not helping or if the child is having side effects. Instruct the mother not quit the home medications until she discuss it with the physician. Teach the folks on how to administer the medication, its correct route, dosage, and timing.

RATIONALE:To subject folks for medications and special procedures to enhance

health.

E. Follow up check up

Tell the mother to return to the physician for physical exams and imaging tests such as ultrasound and CT scans to look for the growth or return of the tumor. Remind the mother that blood and urine tests will be done to check how well the remaining kidney is working. Physician may schedule follow-up check up. But if any unusual symptoms occur before the date of check up, client should visit the physician’s clinic immediately.

February 23, 2010 first visit.March 1, 2010 (releasing of biopsy result) biopsy result should be taken at the dept of pathology to know the type of the cancer cell of tumor.

Page 41: Wilm's Tumor

SEEK CARE IMMEDIATELY IF: There is trouble breathing or chest pain all of a sudden and trouble having a bowel movement or passing urine, if bandage becomes soaked with blood, if incisions are swollen, red, have pus coming from them, or they have come apart and there are chills or fever of 101 F or more. Severe pain that is not relieved by pain medication.

RATIONALE:Follow-up visit to help evaluate effective of the treatment and

interventions. It would provide support to client with regards to the achievement of goals.
