Filtrate passes through proximal convoluted tubule to the loop of henle to the distal convoluted tubule and then to the collecting tubule

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
