21
Q

It is the most common cancer in pediatric group.

A

NEPHROBLASTOMA (Wilms tumor)

22
Q

It results when the kidneys cannot remove the body’s metabolic wastes or perform their regulatory functions.

A

KIDNEY DISEASE

23
Q

It is is a rapid loss of renal function due to damage to the kidneys.

A

ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY

24
Q

Swelling of one or both kidneys.

It is a condition that occurs when a kidney swells and can’t get rid of the urine like it should

A

HYDRONEPHROSIS

25
Q

This becomes necessary if the kidney can no longer remove waste, maintain electrolytes, and regulate fluid balance.

It includes: Dialysis & Kidney Transplantation

A

RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (RRT)

26
Q

It is a tx for acutely ill pt needing short-term dialysis (for pt with AKI) and for those with advanced CKD & ESKD.

This is to extract toxic nitrogenous substances from the blood and remove excess fluid.

A

HEMODIAYLISIS

27
Q

It involves transplanting a kidney from a living or deceased donor to a recipient who no longer has renal function.

It is the treatment of choice for select and appropriately screened patients with ESKD.

A

KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION

28
Q

A kidney injury that results from injury such as vehicle crashes, fall from high levels and assaults. The kidney can be thrust against the lower ribs resulting in contusion & rupture

A

RENAL TRAUMA

29
Q

Blunt renal trauma is classified into one of four groups:

A
  1. Contusion - bruises or hemorrhage under renal capsule
  2. Minor laceration: superficial disruption of the cortex
  3. Major laceration: parenchymal disruption
  4. Vascular Injury: tears of renal artery or vein
30
Q

These are caused by pathogenic microorganisms in the urinary tract (the normal urinary tract is sterile above the urethra).

A

URINARY TRACT INFECTION

31
Q

Infections in the lower urinary tract that includes bacterial cystitis, prostitis, and urethritis

A

LOWER URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

32
Q

Inflammation of the urinary bladder

A

BACTERIAL CYSTITIS

33
Q

Inflammation of the prostate gland

A

BACTERIAL PROSTITIS

34
Q

Inflammation of the urethra

A

BACTERIAL URETHRITIS

35
Q

It is a bacterial infection of the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys.

A

PYELONEPHRITIS

36
Q

It is process that involves several highly coordinated neurologic responses that mediate bladder function

A

MICTURATION

36
Q

Usually leads to enlargement of the
kidneys with interstitial infiltrations
of inflammatory cells.

Abscesses may be noted with the renal capsule and at the corticomedullary junction, leading to the destruction of tubules and glomeruli.

A

ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS

37
Q

It is the involuntary loss of urine through an intact urethra as a result
of exertion, sneezing, coughing, or changing position.

A

STRESS INCONTINENCE

37
Q

It is an unplanned, involuntary, or uncontrolled loss of urine from the bladder.

A

URINARY INCONTINENCE

38
Q

It is a dysfunction that results from a disorder or dysfunction of the nervous system and leads to urinary incontinence

A

NEUROGENIC BLADDER

38
Q

Types of Urinary Incontinence

A
  1. Stress - exertion, sneeze, cough
  2. Urge - strong urge; can’t suppress
  3. Functional - physical/cognitive impairment
  4. Iatrogenic - due to medications
  5. Mixed - several types of incontinence
  6. Overflow - continual leak of urine due to overdistended bladder

(SUFIMO)

38
Q

Inability to empty the bladder completely during attempts to void

A

URINARY RETENTION

39
Q

2 Types of Neurogenic Bladder

A
  1. Spastic
  2. Flaccid
40
Q

More common type of neurogenic bladder that is caused by any spinal cord lesion above the voiding reflex arc (upper motor neuron lesion)

This type of bladder empties on reflex, with minimal or no controlling influence to regulate its activity

A

SPASTIC BLADDER

41
Q

This is caused by a lower motor neuron lesion, commonly resulting from trauma. This form of neurogenic bladder is also increasingly being recognized in patients with diabetes

The bladder continues to fill and becomes greatly distended, and overflow incontinence occurs.

A

FLACCID BLADDER

41
Q

Most common type of stone (calculi)

A

CALCIUM STONE

41
Q

Examples of urinary diversions

A
  1. Ileal conduit
  2. Orthotopic bladder
  3. Indiana pouch
41
Q

Presence of stone (calculi) in the urinary tract

A

UROLITHIASIS

42
Q

Presence of stone (calculi) in the kidney.

A

NEPHROLITHIASIS

42
Q

It is the oldest and most common of the urinary diversion

A

ILEAL CONDUIT

42
Q

It is the construction of a new bladder from segments of intestines

A

ORTHOTOPIC NEOBLADDER

42
Q

These are procedures performed to divert urine from bladder to a new exit site through a stoma

A
