🗑
Juncitons of ureters have propensity for obstruction by   Renal calculi  
🗑
Allows continentence to be maintained   External urinary sphincter  
🗑
Antidiuretic hormone synonym   Vasopressin  
🗑
ADH is secreted by   Posterior portion of Pituitary gland(PPP)  
🗑
Early sign of kidney disease r/t Urine specific gravity   Fixed specific gravity indicates inability to concentrate and dilute urine  
🗑
Normal serum Na level   135-145

🗑
