Unit 6 Urinary System Flashcards
a benign kidney tumor; usually asymptomatic and not life-threatening
renal adenoma
abnormal, involuntary holding of urine in the bladder
urinary retention
absence of urine production
anuria
blood in the urine
hematuria
buildup of urea in the blood
azotemia
can occur with no history of kidney disease and presents as kidney failure
chronic glomerulonephritis
cannot get to the toilet in time due to a disease that makes moving difficult
functional incontinence
childhood malignant kidney tumor, also known as Wilms tumor
nephroblastoma
dilation of pelvis and calyces of a kidney
hydronephrosis
excessive urination at night
nocturia
excessive urine production
polyuria
gradual loss of renal function; sign/symptoms may not appear until kidney function is <25%
chronic renal failure (CRF)/chronic kidney disease (CKD)
high blood pressure
hypertension
infection/inflammation of the renal pelvis and kidney tissue
pyelonephritis
infection/inflammation of the urethra
urethritis
infection/inflammation of the urinary bladder
cystitis
inflammation of the glomerulus; can develop rapidly after a strep throat infection
acute glomerulonephritis
inflammation of the renal pelvis due to bacterial infection
pyelitis
inflammation of the spaces between the renal tubules
interstitial nephritis
inherited disease where large, fluid-filled cysts grow within the kidneys
polycystic kidney disease (PKD)
kidneys are functioning at <10% and either dialysis or a kidney transplant is needed
end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
kidneys suddenly stop filtering waste products from the blood
acute renal failure (ARF)
large amounts of protein leaking out into the urine
nephrotic syndrome
need to urinate comes on too fast for you to get to the toilet
urge incontinence
presence of glucose in urine
glycosuria
presence of protein in urine
proteinuria
presence of renal calculi
nephrolithiasis
scanty production of urine
oliguria
small amounts of urine leak from a bladder that is always full because you cannot empty it
overflow incontience
the most common form of kidney cancer; develops in the lining of the renal tubules
renal cell carcinoma
urine leaks because of sudden pressure on the lower stomach muscles
stress incontinence
most common type of bladder cancer, arising in the transitional cells of the lining of the bladder
transistional cell carcinoma
difficulty urinating
pyuria
