Bladder
Cyst/o
Nitrogenous waste
Azot/o
Renal pelvis
Pyle/o
Bladder
Vesic/o
-ptosis
Dropping
Concave area on edge of center
Hilum
Outer portion of kidney
Cortex
Inner portion of kidney
Medulla
Triangular shaped structures in medulla
Pyramids
Tip of each renal pyramid
Papilla
Small open area that receives urine from each papilla
Calyx
Large open area that receives urine from each calyx, empties into ureter
Renal pelvis
Functional unit of kidney
Nephron
Substances are filtered through glomerulus from blood and enter glomerular capsule
Renal corpuscle
Filtrate passes through proximal convoluted tubule to the loop of henle to the distal convoluted tubule and then to the collecting tubule
Renal tubules
Filtration, reabsorption, and secretion
3 stages of urine production
External opening of urethra
Urinary meat is
Surgical repair of kidney
Nephroprexy
Surgical repair of pelvis
Pyeloplasty
Ureter dilation
Ureterectasis
Condition of no urine
Anuria
Scanty urine
Oliguria
Pus in the urine
Pyuria
Nitrogenous waste in the bloodstream
Azotemia
Increased formation and secretion of urine
Diuresis
Inflammation of the kidney, more permeable to protein and blood cells
Glomerulonephritis
Hydronephrosis
Distention of renal pelvis due to accumulation of urine in the kidney
Damage to glomerulus; protein appears in the urine
Nephrotic syndrome (NS)
Downward displacement of the kidney; floating kidney
Nephroptosis
Inflammation of renal pelvis and kidney; common type of kidney disease
Pyelonephritis
Blood test to evaluate kidney function by measuring levels of nitrogenous waste (urea) in the bloodstream
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
Test of kidney function
Creatinine
Examination of urine
Urinalysis
Contrast dye is placed in bladder and then X-ray is taken, outlines bladder
Cystography
Acute renal failure
ARF
Chronic renal failure
CRF
End stage renal disease
ESRD
