diseases of the Urinary system Flashcards
symptoms and signs of acute glomerulonephritis
proteinuria, edema, decreased urine output, heamaturia, hypertension, headaches, and low grade fver
chronic glomerulonephritis is
a slowly progressive noninfectious disease that can result in irreversible renal damage and renal failure
hydronephrosis is caused by
pressure from urine that cannot flow past an obstruction
polycystic kidney disease
slowly progressive and irreversible. multiple grape like clusters. Can be inherited
some nephrotic agents known to cause renal damage include
heavy metals, pesticides, mushrooms, and antibiotics
the cause of nerogenic bladder, a bladder control dysfunction, is
an injury to the brain, spinal cord, or nerves
most common type of kidney disease
pyelonephritis
proper function of the urinary system is frequently evaluated by
urinalysis and blood test
lithotripsy
shock waves that break up kidney stones
acute glomerulonnephritis usually follows by this infection
group a
the disease that encompasses a group of symptoms referred to as the protein-losing kidney is
nephrotic syndrom
risk factors with renal cell carcinoma
heredity, smoking, obesity, dialysis, and abestese
nephrotic syndrome (nephrosis) includes a group of symptoms referred to as the
protein losing kidney
acute renal failure symptoms
slight or infrequent urination (oliguria) gastrointestinal disturbance, headache, and drowsiness.
chronic renal failure symptoms (as uremic syndrome worsens)
hypertension, edema, arrhythmia, muscle weakness, ulceration of gastrointestinal mucosa, hair and skin changes, difficulty breathing (dyspena) and metabolic acidosis
The most common kidney disease
pyelonephritis
hydronephrosis discription
condition of an abnormal dilation of the renal pelvis caused by pressure from urine that cannot flow past an obstruction in the urinary tract
Chronic condition that can gradually destroy kidneys
Diabetic nephropathy description
various renal changes (called glomerulosclerosis) that result from diabetes
all patients with type 1 diabetes (and many with type 2 diabetes) will eventually develop
renal changes
polycystic kidney disease symptoms
lumbar pain, blood in urine, hypertension, prone to renal infection and kidney stones
polycystic kidney disease diagnosis. urinalysis and radiographic films show
blood, protein, pus. radio graphic shows enlarged kidneys with irregular outlines and has a spidery appearance
renal call carcinoma classic symptoms
blood in urine, abdominal mass, flank pain.
renal cell carcinoma less common symptoms are
wight loss, anemia, fever, and abnormally high concentration of calcium in blood
renal cell carcinoma risk factors
heredity, smoking, obesity, dialysis patients with cystic kidney disease, and prolonged exposure to chemicals such as asbestos and cadmium
blood tumors symptoms
blood in urine (intermittent, painless) is most common
