Q

in uremia, there are high levels of ____ waste

A

nitrogenous

18
Q

condition commonly associated with edema, dehydration, and a yellow discoloration

A

uremia

19
Q

microbial inflammation of the glomerulus and the nephron

A

glomerulonephritis

20
Q

characterized by the sudden onset of blood and protein in the urine, salt and water retention, high blood pressure, increased neutrophils and monocytes in the immune system

A

acute glomerulonephritis

21
Q

renal condition which can be caused by strep throat, skin infections, hepatitis, diabetes, IV drug use and is commonly treated with antibiotics

A

acute glomerulonephritis

22
Q

may result in excess fluid in the body, distention of the jugular veins, and the odor of urine in the blood and tissue fluids

A

chronic glomerulonephritis

23
Q

inflammation of the kidney, affects nephrons specifically

A

pyelonephritis

24
Q

inflammation of the renal pelvis of the kidney; may affect the renal pelvis and/or the calyces of the kidneys

A

pyelitis

25
Q

distention of the renal pelvis with urine as a result of obstruction

A

hydronephrosis

26
Q

presence of one or more kidney stones in the urinary system

A

nephrolithiasis

27
Q

kidney stones; may form when urine is overconcentrated with substances such as calcium or phosphate

A

renal calculi

28
Q

kidney stones are often asymptomatic until they reach the ureters (T/F)

A

true

29
Q

inflammation of the ureter; usually occurs from an infection that spreads from the kidneys to the urinary bladder but may also occur due to nerve damage

A

ureteritis

30
Q

inflammation of the urinary bladder

A

cystitis

31
Q

recurring discomfort and pain in the bladder and pelvic region; bladder may become increasingly irritated leading to the development of scar tissue; pinpoint bleeding on the bladder wall may also occur

A

interstitial cystitis

32
Q

inflammation of the urethra also known as urinary tract infection

A

urethritis

33
Q

urethritis tends to develop far more commonly in men (T/F)

A

false (far more commonly in women)

34
Q

bilateral, grapelike clusters of cysts replace normal renal tissue; kidney can become very enlarged; nephrons become compressed and the filtration of blood and production of urine slow down

A

polycystic kidney

35
Q

one or both kidneys are smaller than normal; may not be able to function properly past childhood

A

renal hypoplasia

36
Q

abnormal development of tissue in the kidney; may be present in one or both kidneys

A

renal dysplasia

37
Q

loss of function of the kidneys caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure or by certain infections

A

acute renal failure

38
Q

acute renal failure is usually reversible (T/F)

A

true

39
Q

chronic renal failure is usually reversible (T/F)

A

false

40
Q

slowly progressive loss of kidney function resulting in the accumulation of fluid and waste products in the blood and eventually causing uremia

A

chronic renal failure
