Urinary System Conditions and Procedures
- Pyuria: Presence of pus in urine, indicating infection.
- Pyrurea: Presence of neutrophils in urine, commonly associated with urinary tract infection (UTI).

- Cystostomy: An artificial opening created into the bladder.
- Cystoscopy: Procedure performed through the urethra to examine the bladder.
- Peritoneal dialysis: Procedure for removing kidney stones through the peritoneum.
Urine Production and Excretion
- Diurnal: Refers to processes or cycles occurring daily.
- Diuresis: Increased urine formation and excretion.
- Nocturia: Excessive urination occurring at night.
- Polyuria: Abnormally high urine output.
- Oliguria: Decreased urine output.
- Anuria: Absence of urine production.
Urinary Tract Infections and Inflammations
- UTI: General term for urinary tract infections which can affect the urethra, bladder, kidneys, and more.
- Kidney infection: A type of UTI that begins in the bladder or urethra and travels to the kidneys.
- Bladder infection: Involves bacteria traveling up the urethra, resulting in common symptoms like pain and burning during urination.
- Dysuria: Painful and difficult urination.
- Pyelonephritis: Inflammation of the renal pelvis and kidney tissue.
- Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation specifically affecting the kidney's glomeruli.
Urinary Components and Issues
