unit 9 Flashcards
cystocele - hernia of the bladder through the vaginal wall
cystitis - inflammation of the bladder
cystoscopy - visual examination of the urinary bladder with specialized scope
interstitial cystitis
chronic inflammation within the walls of the bladder
dialysis -
procedure to remove waste products such as urea, creatinine, & excess water from the blood
ureterectasis
- distention of a ureter
glomerulonephritis
inflammation of the glomeruli causing red blood cells & proteins to leak into urine
cystolith
stone located within the urinary bladder
ureterolith
stone located anywhere along the ureter
hemodialysis
process in which waste products are filtered directly from blood
nephrolysis -
surgical freeing of a kidney from adhesions
nephrolith
- kidney stone
nephrons
- microscopic functional units of each kidney
nephropathy
- any disease of the kidney
cystopexy
- surgical fixation of the bladder to the abdominal wall
pyeloplasty
- surgical repair of the ureter & renal pelvis
pyelotomy
- surgical incision into the renal pelvis
lithotripsy
- procedure using focused ultrasonic energy to break up stones in the renal system
enuresis
- involuntary discharge of urine
uremia
condition in which waste materials are no longer removed by kidneys and build up in blood
ureterorrhagia
- discharge of blood from the ureter
urethrotomy
- surgical incision into urethra or relief of a stricture
anuria
- absence of urine formation by the kidneys
hyperprotenuria - presence of abnormally high concentrations of protein in the urine
presence of abnormally high concentrations of protein in the urine
oliguria
-scanty urination
ablation
a treatment of prostate cancer involving removal of a body part or destruction of its function
benign prostatic hyperplasia
- enlargement of the prostate gland
chronic kidney disease*
progressive loss of renal function
diuresis*
increased output of urine
end-stage renal disease*
final stage of chronic kidney disease
epispadias*
congenital abnormality of the urethral opening (upper side of penis in males; region of the clitoris in females)
hydronephrosis*
swelling of one or both kidneys
hydroureter*
blocked ureter restricts flow of urine & swelling or the ureter
hypoproteinemia* presence of abnormally low concentrations of protein in the blood
presence of abnormally low concentrations of protein in the blood
hypospadias*
congenital abnormality of the urethral opening (underside of the penis in males; into the vagina in females)
incontinence*
inability to control excretion of urine feces
intravenous pyelogram*
imaging test used to look at the kidneys and ureters
nephrolithiasis*
presence of stones in the kidney
nephroptosis*
prolapse/dropping down of a kidney into the pelvic area
nephropyosis*
suppuration of the kidney
nephrostomy*
placement of a catheter to maintain opening from center of one or both kidneys to exterior of the body
nephrotic syndrome*
a group of conditions in which excessive amounts of protein are lost through the urine
neurogenic bladder* urinary problem caused by interference w/normal nerve pathways associated with urination
nocturia* frequent and excessive urination during the night
nocturnal enuresis* urinary incontinence during sleep
peritoneal dialysis* a treatment for kidney failure in which a catheter directs cleansing fluid into the peritoneal membrane & then collects the absorbed waste products for disposal
polycystic kidney disease* genetic disorder in which fluid filled cysts gradually overtake the kidney
prostatism* disorder resulting from compression or obstruction of the urethra
suprapubic catheterization* placement of a catheter into the bladder through small incision through abdominal wall just above pubic bone
urethritis* inflammation of the urethra
urethropexy* surgical fixation of the urethra to nearby tissue
urinary catheterization* insertion of a tube into the bladder to drain urine from the bladder or to collect a sterile urine sample
vesicovaginal fistula* abnormal opening between the bladder and vagina allowing constant involuntary flow of urine
Wilms tumor* rare type of malignant tumor of the kidney in young children
percutaneous
nephrolithotomy* surgical removal of a kidney stone
polyuria* excessive urination
ureterorrhaphy* surgical suturing of a ureter
urethrostenosis* narrowing of the urethra
voiding cystourethrography* diagnostic procedure using fluoroscopy to examine flow of urine from the bladder & through the urethra
