    Study Notes

    Renal Conditions and Terminology

    • Renal abscess can lead to pyuria, indicating pus in the urine.
    • Albuminuria refers to the presence of protein (albumin) in urine, often a sign of kidney issues.
    • Ureterocele is the herniation of the tube that connects the kidney to the urinary bladder.
    • Uremia is also known as azotemia, a condition characterized by high levels of nitrogen waste products in the blood.
    • Glomerular refers to the small, capillary structures in the kidney essential for filtering blood.
    • Incontinence describes the inability to retain urine within the bladder.

    Pediatric Renal Disorders

    • Wilms tumor is a common childhood renal carcinoma affecting the kidneys.

    Diagnostic Tests and Indicators

    • BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) test measures urea levels in the blood to assess kidney function.
    • KUB (Kidneys-Ureters-Bladder) film is an X-ray imaging technique used to examine the urinary tract.

    Fluid and Electrolyte Balance

    • Edema refers to swelling caused by fluid accumulation in tissues.
    • The trigone is a defined area within the urinary bladder important for urinary flow control.
    • Sodium is a key electrolyte necessary for various bodily functions and fluid balance.

    Urinary System Conditions

    • Oliguria indicates scanty urination, often a sign of renal impairment.
    • Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms, including edema, proteinuria, and low albumin levels in the blood.
    • Perivesical describes tissues surrounding the urinary bladder.

    Surgical and Treatment Procedures

    • Nephrolithotomy involves an incision to remove kidney stones (renal calculi).
    • Nephrosclerosis indicates hardening of renal blood vessels, which can impede kidney function.
    • Cystoscopy is a procedure used to visually examine the bladder.

    Waste Products and Kidney Function

    • Creatinine is a nitrogenous waste product often measured to assess kidney health.
    • Urinary retention refers to the condition where urine accumulates in the bladder due to inability to void.

    Hormonal and Metabolic Conditions

    • High ketone levels in the blood can result in acidosis, a dangerous condition affecting pH balance.
    • Anuria refers to the complete absence of urine output, indicating severe renal dysfunction.
    • Diabetes insipidus does not typically present with glycosuria (sugar in urine), differentiating it from other forms of diabetes.
    • Erythropoietin is a hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production.

    Calculi and Intervention

    • A calculus is a term used to describe a stone formed in the urinary tract.
    • Hemodialysis is the process of using an artificial kidney machine to filter waste from the blood in individuals with kidney failure.
    • Polydipsia indicates excessive thirst, often a symptom of diabetes or other metabolic disorders.
    • Lithotripsy utilizes shock waves to break down urinary tract stones for easier passage.

    Anatomical Components

    • A calyx (plural: calyces) is a collecting area in the kidney that gathers urine from the renal pyramids.
    • Pyel/o is the combining form used in terms related to the renal pelvis, an essential part of the kidney's drainage system.
