The Urinary Tract Pathology Flashcards
A cystic disease of the kidney that is often the result of chronic hemodialysis
Acquired Renal Cystic Disease
An inflammation of they kidney(s)
Acute Pyelonephritis
A sudden decrease in renal function
Acute Renal Failure
A common benign renal tumor that consists of a network of blood vessels, muscle, and fat; also known as a renal harmatoma
Angiomyolipoma
An inherited disease, that results in the development of renal, liver, and pancreatic cysts late in life; also referred to as adult polycystic kidney disease
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
An inherited renal disease that results in bilateral enlargement of the fetal kidneys and microscopic renal cysts; also referred to as infantile polycystic kidney disease
Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease
An outpouching of the urinary bladder wall
Bladder Diverticulum
Chronic inflammation of the kidney(s)
Chronic Pyelonephritis
The gradual decrease in renal function over time
Chronic Renal Failure
The dilation of the renal collecting system at birth
Congenital Hydroneohrosis
The accumulation of calcium within the cortex of the kidney
Cortical Nephrocalcinosis
Inflammation of the urinary bladder
Cystitis
The formation of air within the kidney parenchyma secondary to bacterial infiltration
Emphysematous Pyelonephritis
Medical condition in which the kidneys fail to function adequately, thus requiring the use of dialysis
End-stage Renal Disease
An infection of the kidney glomeruli
Glomerulonephritis
A localized collection of blood
Hematoma
The dilation of the renal collecting system resulting from the obstruction of the flow of urine from the kidney(s) to the bladder; also referred to as pelvocaliectasis
Hydronephrosis
Distention of the ureter with fluid because of obstruction
Hydroureter
Carcinoma of the kidney; also referred to as renal cell carcinoma
Hypernephroma
A collection of lymphatic fluid
Lymphocele
The accumulation of calcium within the medulla of the renal parenchyma
Medullary Nephrocalcinosis
A congenital disorder characterized by the accumulation of calcium within abnormality dilated collecting ducts located within the medulla
Medullary Sponge Kidney
An abnormally enlarged urinary bladder
Megacystitis
An enlarged ureter; can be congenital or acquired
Megaureter
A renal disease thought to be caused by an early renal obstruction; leads to the development of multiple communicating cysts of varying sizes in the renal fossa
Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney Disease
The most common solid malignant pediatric abdominal mass; may also be referred to as Wilm’s Tumor
Nephroblastoma
An accumulation of calcium within the renal parenchyma
Nephrocalcinoma
The urinary stones located within the kidney; kidney stones
Nephrolithiasis
A kidney disorder caused by damage to the glomeruli that results in excess amounts of protein in the urine and the swelling of the ankles, face, and feet because of the accumulation of excess water
Nephrotic Syndrome
A bladder that is poorly functioning secondary to any type of neurologic disorder
Neurogenic bladder
A benign renal tumor that is often found in men in their 60’s
Oncocytoma
An abscess that surrounds the kidney
Perinephric Abscess
A benign, solid adrenal tumor associated with uncontrollable hypertension
Pheochromocytoma
The condition of having pus within the collecting system of the kidney
Pyonephrosis
A benign renal mass
Renal Adenoma
The narrowing of the renal artery
Renal Artery Stenosis
The carcinoma of the kidney; also referred to as hypernephroma
Renal Cell Carcinoma
A benign renal mass that consists of bloody vessels
Renal Hemangioma
A collection of blood on or around the kidney that is typically associated with some form of trauma or perhaps an invasive kidney procedure
Renal Hematoma
An area in the kidney that becomes necrotic because of lack of oxygen
Renal Infarction
A fatty tumor of the kidney
Renal Lipoma
A blood cot located within the renal vein
Renal Vein Thrombosis
A malignant tumor of the urinary tract that is often found within the urinary bladder or within the renal pelvis
Transitional Cell Carcinoma
A systemic disorder that leads to the development of tumors within various organs
Tuberous Sclerosis
An abnormality in which the distal ureter projects into the urinary bladder
Ureterocele
A localized collection of urine
Urinoma
A urinary stone
Urolithiasis
The abnormal retrograde flow of urine from the urinary bladder into the ureter and possible into the kidney(s)
Vesicoureteral Reflux
An inherited disorder characterized by tumors of the central nervous system and the development of cysts within the kidneys, renal cell carcinoma, and pheochromocytomas
von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome
A rare chronic form of pyelonephritis that is typically the result of a chronic obstructive process
Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis
