Urinary Flashcards
The presence of bacteria in the blood:
Bacteremia
Painful, burning urination, often caused by a bacterial infection, inflammation, or obstruction of the urinary tract:
Dysuria
An inflammatory condition of the urinary bladder and ureters, characterized by pain, urgency and frequency of urination, and hematuria:
Cystitis
It may be caused by a bacterial infection, calculus, or tumor.
Presence of bacteria in the urine:
Bacteriuria
CAUTI
Catheter Associated UTI
Abnormal presence of blood in the urine:
Hematuria
Urination; act of passing or expelling urine voluntarily through the urethra:
Micturition
A catheter tube inserted into the kidney and drains into a collecting vessel on the outside of the body.
Nephrostomy
PVR
Postvoid residual
Allows possibility for infection.
Inflammation of the kidney tissue, calyces, and renal pelvis commonly caused by bacterial infection:
Pyelonephritis
A renal proteolytic enzyme, produced by and stored in the juxtaglomerular apparatus that surrounds each arteriole as it enters a glomerulus:
Renin
This affects the blood pressure by catalyzing the change of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which is then converted to antiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor.
A urinary bladder catheter inserted through the skin about 1 inch above the symphysis pubis:
Suprapubic catheter
It is used for closed drainage and may be left in place for time, sutured to the abdominal skin.
UI
Urinary incontinence
5 classes of chronic incontinence:
- functional: diff to get to bathroom on time
- overflow: obstruction/or muscle failure to void
- stress: precipitated by coughing/sneezing
- urge: inability to hold it once sensation of full is felt
- reflex: neurologic; detrusor hyperreflexia and/or urethral relaxation.
Retention of urine in the bladder; condition frequently caused by a temporary loss of muscle function:
Urinary retention
The surgical creation of a new opening through which a ureter empties onto the surface of the body or into another outlet:
Ureterostomy
