urination; urine condition
Involuntary discharge of urine
enuresis
Frequent urination at night
nocturia
Examination of urine to determine the presence of abnormal elements that may indicate various pathologic conditions
urinalysis
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is not secreted, or there is a resisntance of the kidney to ADH
diabetes insipidus (DI)
Insulin is not secreted adequately or tissues are resistant to its effects
diabetes mellitus (DM)
Measurement of urea levels in blood
blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
Measurement of the rate at which creatinine is cleared from the blood by the kidney
creatinine clearance
X-ray images obtained using CT show multiple cross sectional and other views of the kidney
CT urography
X-ray examination (without contrast) of the kidneys, ureters and bladder
kidneys, ureters and bladder (KUB)
X-ray examination with contrast of the blood vessels of the kidney
renal angiography
X-ray image of the renal pelvis and ureters after injection of contrast through a urinary catheter into the ureters from the bladder
retrograde pyelogram (RP)
X-ray image (with contrast) of the urinary bladder and urethra obtained while the patient is voiding
voiding cystouretrhogram (VCUG)
Imaging of urinary tract structures using high-frequency sound waves
ultrasonography
Image of the kidney obtained after injecting a radioactive substance (radioisotope) into the bloodstream
radioisotope scan
Changing magnetic field produces images of the kidney and surrounding structures in three planes of the body
MRI urography
Direct visualization of the urethra and urinary bladder with an endoscope (cystoscope)
cystoscopy
Process of separating nitrogenous waste materials from the blood
dialysis
Uses an artificial kidney machine that receives waste-filled blood from the patient’s bloodstream and returns dialyzed blood to the patient’s body
hemodialysis (HD)
Uses a catheter to introduce fluid into the peritoneal cavity
peritoneal dialysis (PD)
Dilation of narrowed areas in renal arteries
renal angioplasty
Removal of kidney tissue for microscopic examination
renal biopsy
Surgical transfer of a kidney from a donor to a recipient
renal transplantation
Passage of a flexible, tubular intrument through the urethra into the urinary bladder
urinary catheterization
urinary tract stones are crushed
lithotripsy
ESWL
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
