    Study Notes

    Acute/Chronic Cystitis

    • Bacterial infections commonly cause cystitis, manifested in acute (blood in urine) or chronic forms.
    • Red and swollen mucosa in the bladder is characteristic.
    • Women are more affected due to shorter urethra, facilitating bacterial colonization.

    Cystectomy

    • The surgical removal of the urinary bladder is indicated for various medical conditions.

    Cystostomy

    • An opening in the bladder from outside the body allows for catheter placement for urine drainage.

    Nephroptosis

    • Refers to the downward displacement of the kidney; nephropexy is the surgical correction.

    Pyelolithotomy

    • Surgical removal of large kidney stones blocking urine flow involves opening the renal pelvis.

    Renal Colic

    • Intermittent pain from kidney or ureter stones caused by inflammation and distention.

    Ureterolithotomy

    • After cystectomy, a segment of the ileum is used to create a pouch for urine storage, functioning as a bladder substitute.

    Urethritis

    • Inflammation of the urethra, often related to infection or irritation.

    Cystoscopy

    • A procedure conducted to visually examine the interior of the urinary bladder.

    Albuminuria/Hypoalbuminemia

    • Presence of protein in urine suggests kidney malfunction; low albumin levels in blood indicate hypoalbuminemia.

    Azotemia/BUN

    • High nitrogen levels in blood (azotemia) indicated by elevated BUN can lead to serious health issues.

    Bacteriuria

    • The presence of bacteria in urine typically signals a urinary tract infection (UTI); C&S testing identifies effective antibiotics.

    Polydipsia

    • Excessive thirst often points to diabetes insipidus or mellitus.

    Ketosis/Ketonuria

    • Presence of ketone bodies in urine; sweet-flavored breath indicates potential ketoacidosis.

    Nephrolithiasis/Lithotripsy/Nephrolithotomy

    • Kidney stones or renal calculi can require lithotripsy to break them or nephrolithotomy for removal.

    Pyuria

    • The presence of pus in urine suggests infection, often related to UTIs.

    Uremia

    • Toxic state caused by nitrogenous waste accumulation in blood when kidneys fail.

    Diuresis/Diuretic

    • Increased urine production is often induced by substances like caffeine and alcohol.

    ADH/Vasopressin

    • The antidiuretic hormone from the pituitary promotes renal tubules' water reabsorption.

    Urinary Incontinence/Retention

    • Incontinence refers to loss of urine control; retention occurs when urine flow is blocked.

    Dysuria/Anuria

    • Dysuria replaces painful urination while anuria signifies reduced or absent urination.

    Hematuria

    • Blood in urine can be classified as microhematuria (microscopic) or gross hematuria (visible).

    Glycosuria/Hyperglycemia

    • The presence of glucose in urine is typical in individuals with diabetes mellitus.

    Polyuria

    • Excessive urination, commonly associated with diabetes mellitus and insipidus.

    PKU (Phenylketonuria)

    • A rare genetic disorder in infants leads to phenylalanine accumulation, can cause mental defects.

    Acute/Chronic Glomerulonephritis

    • Kidney glomeruli inflammation can result from infections, causing various symptoms including hematuria.

    Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

    • Hereditary condition characterized by numerous cysts, leading to progressive renal failure.

    Renal Failure (ARF/CKD)

    • Impaired waste excretion defines renal failure; classified into acute and chronic forms based on progression.

    Renal Hypertension

    • Elevated blood pressure due to kidney disease, contributing to significant health risks.

    Diabetes Insipidus

    • Condition marked by insufficient ADH activity, leading to large volumes of dilute urine.

    Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM/NIDDM)

    • Insufficient insulin production or resistance results in high blood sugar and related symptoms.

    Creatinine Clearance Test

    • Measures the kidney's efficiency in filtering creatinine, helping assess glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

    KUB

    • X-ray examination of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to assess their size and position.

    Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG)

    • X-ray imaging of the bladder and urethra during urination, indicating possible abnormalities.

    Ultrasonography

    • Imaging technique using sound waves to evaluate various urinary tract conditions.

    Renal Dialysis (HD/PD)

    • Process to remove waste from blood using artificial methods; includes hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis techniques.

    Renal Transplantation

    • Surgical procedure to replace a failing kidney with a donor's healthy kidney, often yielding high success rates.

    Urinary Catheterization (Cath)

    • Inserting a catheter into the bladder for urinary drainage, used for short or long-term management.

    UA (Urinalysis)

    • Comprehensive evaluation of urine characteristics to detect chemical and physical abnormalities.

    UTI

    • Infection of the urinary tract, commonly requiring medical intervention.

    IVP

    • Intravenous pyelogram performed to visualize the urinary system and assess kidney function.

    Hyperuricemia

    • High blood uric acid levels, often associated with gout or kidney issues.

    Pyleolithiasis

    • Condition characterized by kidney stones specifically located in the renal pelvis.

    Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)

    • Most common type of kidney cancer in adults, often treated through surgical removal of the affected tissue.

    Renal Ischemia

    • Insufficient blood supply to the kidneys caused by narrowed or blocked vessels.

    Nephrosclerosis

    • Hardening of renal artery walls, frequently linked to hypertension, can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

    Renal Scan

    • Assessment of kidney function using radiological techniques to detect abnormalities or functional impairment.

    Proteinuria

    • Excess protein in urine may indicate glomerular disease or tubular dysfunction.

    Toxicity

    • The potential harm a substance poses to an organism, relevant in various medical and environmental contexts.
