abnormal condition of protein (albumin) in the urine

Question 9

Anuria

Answer 9

abnormal condition of no urine prodcution

Question 10

Dysuria

Answer 10

painful urination

Question 11

Glycosuria

Answer 11

abnormal condition of glucose in the urine

Question 12

Nephrolithiasis

Answer 12

abnormal condition of stones in the kidney

Question 13

Renal failure

Answer 13

condition on which the kidneys stop functioning and do not produce urine

Question 14

Uremia

Answer 14

condition of high levels of urea (nitrogenous waste material) in the blood

Question 15

Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)

Answer 15

measures the amount of urea in the blood

Question 16

Cystoscopy

Answer 16

visual examination of the urinary bladder with a cystoscope (endoscope)

Question 17

Kidneys, ureters, bladder (KUB)

Answer 17

X-ray images of the kidneys and urinary tract made without the use of contrast material

Question 18

Retrograde pyelogram (RP)

Answer 18

contrast material is injected through a catheter (a flexible, tubular instrument) into the urethra and bladder, and x-ray images are taken of the urethra, bladder, and ureters

Question 19

Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG)

Answer 19

X-ray films of the bladder and urethra taken after the bladder is filled with a contract material and while the patient is expelling urine. also called cystogram

Question 20

Urography

Answer 20

X-ray imaging of the urinary tract after injection of contrast material; pyelography

Question 21

Dialysis

Answer 21

waste materials (urea, creatinine, and uric acid) are separated from the blood by a machine (hemodialysis). alternatively, in peritoneal dialysis, an intraabdominal catheter (a flexible tubular instrument) delivers a special fluid into the abdominal cavity. after several hours, the fluid containing waste materials that have seeped into it from the blood is drained (I’m confused, but that’s what the book says lol)

Question 22

Lithotripsy

Answer 22

shock waves are beamed into a patient to crush urinary tract stones. the stone fragments then pass out of the body with urine. also called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)

Question 23

Renal transplantation

Answer 23

a donor kidney is transferred to a recipient, whose kidneys have both failed

Question 24

Urinary catheterization

Answer 24

a catheter is passed through the urethra and into the urinary bladder for short-term or long-term drainage of urine

ARF

Answer 25

acute renal failure

BUN

Answer 26

blood urea nitrogen

Answer 27

continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
