is at toxic condition caused by excessive amount of urea and other waste products in the bloodstream | uremia |
a sudden onset and is characterized by uremia. May be caused by many factors including a drop in blood volume or blood pressure due to injury or surgery | acute renal failure |
a progressive disease that may be caused by a variety of conditions when the kidney function is insufficent, dialysis, or transplation is requried | chronic renal failure |
the late stages of chronic renal failure | end stage renal disease |
excissive fluid in the body tissues | edema |
abnormally high concentractions of high protein in the urine | Hyperproteinuria |
abnormally low concentrations concentractions of protein in the urine | hypoproteinuria |
abnormally large amounts of lipids in the blood | hyperlipidemia |
the damage to the kidneys capillary blood vessels that is caused by long term diabetes mellitus | diabetic nephropathy |
inflammation of the kidney involving primarily the glomeruli | glomerulonephritis |
is the the dialation of the renal pelvis of one or both kidneys | hydronephrosis |
the destention (state of being enlarged) of a kidney | nephrectasis |
inflammation of the kidney | nephritis |
the downward displacement of the kidney | floating kidney |
the suppuration (formation or discharge of pus) | nephropyosis |
inflammation on the renal pelvis | pyelitis |
the inflammation of the renal pelvis and of the kidney | pyelonephritis |
the acute pain in the kidney area that is caused by blockage during the passage of a kidney stone | renal colic |
disorder characterized by the presence of stones in the kidney | nephrolithiasis |
the distention( stretching out ) of the ureter with urin ethat cannot flow because the ureter is blocked | hydroureter |
abnormal narrowing of the ureter | ureterostenosis |

the visual examination of the urinary bladder also used for treatment procedures such as the removal of tumors | Cystoscopy |
is a radiographic x ray study of the kidneys and ureters in which iodine is injected into vein as a contrast medium to define these structure more clearly | intravenous pyelogram |
the radiographic study of these structures without the use of a contrast medium | KUB |
the radiograpic visualization of the urinary tract with the use of a contrast medium | intravenous urography |
traces the action of the kidney as it processes and excretes dye injected into the bloodstream | excretory urography |
a radiograph of the urinary system taken after dye has been placed in the uretha through a sterile catheter and caused to flow upward through the urinary tract | retrograde urography |
a radiographic examination of thr bladder after installation of a contrast medium via a urethal catheter | cystography |
performed after cystography. A diagonostic procedure in which a fluoroscope is used to examine the flow of urine from the bladder and through the urethra | Voiding cystourethrography |
is the examination of urine to determine the presence of abnormal elements | urinalysis |
are medications administed to increase urine secretion to rid the body of excess sodium and water | diuretics |
a procedure to remove waste products from the blood of patients whose kidneys no longer function | dialysis |
the lining of the peritoneal cavity acts as the filter to remove waste from the blood used for renal failure and certain types of poisoning | peritoneal dialysis |
provides ongoing dialysis as the patient goes about his daily activites | continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis |
uses a machine to cycle the dialysate fluid during the night while the patient sleeps | continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis |
