bladder neck obstruction (BNO)
Blockage at the base of the bladder that reduces or prevents urine from passing into the urethra
bladder neck obstruction (BNO)
Blockage at the base of the bladder that reduces or prevents urine from passing into the urethra
end-stage renal disease
Any type of kidney disease in which there is little or no remaining kidney function, requiring the patient to undergo dialysis or kidney transplant for survival
enuresis
Involuntary discharge of urine; also called incontinence
enuresis
Involuntary discharge of urine; also called incontinence
fistula
Abnormal passage from a hollow organ to the surface or from one organ to another
hydronephrosis
Abnormal dilation of the renal pelvis and the calyces of one or both kidneys caused by pressure from accumulated urine that cannot flow past an obstruction in the urinary tract
interstitial cystitis (IC)
Chronic inflammation of the bladder wall that is not caused by bacterial infection and is not responsive to conventional antibiotic therapy; also called painful bladder syndrome
nephrotic syndrome
Loss of large amounts of plasma protein, usually albumin, through urine due to an increased permeability of the glomerular membrane
neurogenic bladder
impairment of bladder control as a result of brain, spinal cord, or nerve damage
polycystic kidney
Inherited disease in which sacs of fluid called cysts develop in the kidneys
pyelonephritis
Infection of the kidney, usually the result of an infection that begins in the urethra or bladder and ascends the ureters to the kidney
urinary tract infection (UTI)
An infection, typically of bacterial origin, in any part of the urinary tract, including the kidneys (acute pyelonephritis), bladder (cystitis), or urethra (urethritis)
vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
Disorder caused by the failure of urine to pass through the ureters to the bladder, usually as a result of impairment of the valve between the ureter and bladder or obstruction in the ureter
Wilms tumor
Rapidly developing malignant tumor of the kidney that usually occurs in children; also called nephroblastoma
