|---|---|
| also known as anuresis is the complete supression of urine formation by the kidneys. | aunria |
| also known as uremic poisoning, is a toxic condition caused by excessive amount of urea and other waste products in the bloodstrem | uremia |
| progressive disease that may be caused by a variety of conditions | chornic renal failure (CRF) |

| abnormally low concentrations of protein in the blood | hypoproteinemia |
| abnormally large amount of lipids in the blood | hyperlipidemia |
| is the distention of the ureter with urine that can not flow because the ureter is blocked | hydroureter |
| an acute pain in the kidney area that is caused by blockage during the passage of a kidney stone | renal colic |
| an abnormal opening between the bladder and vagina | vesicovaginal fissure |

| an abnormal opening between the bladder and vagina | vesicovaginal fissure |
| (in the male) a congenital abnormality in which the urethral opening is located on the upper surface of the penis. (in the female) it located in the clitoris | epispadias |
| (in the male) a congenital abnormality in whihc the urethral opening is on the under surface of the penis.( in the female) it is into the vagina | hypospadias |
| a congenital abnormality in males in which the urethral opening is on one side of the penis | paraspadias |
| the increased excretion of urine | diuresis |
| difficult or painful urination | dysuria |
| involuntary discharge of urine | enuresis |
| excessive urination during the night | nocturia |

| also known as cysto is the visual examination of the urinary bladder using a cystoscope | cystoscopy |
| radiographic(x-ray) study of the kidneys and ureters in which iodine is injected into a vein as a contrast medium to define these structures more clearly | intravenous pyelogram (IVP) |
| (kidneys, ureters, bladder) is a radiographic study of these structures without the use of a contrast medium. this study is also referred as a flat-plate of the abdomen | KUB |
| the radiographic visualization of the urinary tract with the use of a contrast medium. the resulting record is called a urogram | intravenious urography |
| named beceause it 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 urethra through a sterile catheter and caused to flow upward (backward) through the urinary tract | retrograde urography |
| a radiographic examination of the bladder after instillation of a contrast medium via a urethral catheter | cystography |
| may be performed after cystography. in this diagnostic procedure, a fluoroscope is used to examine the flow of the urine from the bladder and through the urethra. | voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) |
| the examination of urine to determine the presence of abnormal elements | urinalysis |
| medications administered 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 |
| filters waste products from the patients blood. a shunt implanted in the patients arm is connected to the artifical kidney machine, and arterial blood flows through the filters. | hemodialysis (HD) |
| the lining of the peritoneal cavity acts as the filter to remove waste from the blood. | peritoneal dialysis |
| provides ongoing dialysis. a dialysate solution is instilled from a plastic container worn under the patients clothing. every 6 to 8 hours the used solution is drained back into this bag and the bag is discarded. a new bag is attached, and the process co | continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) |
| uses a machine to cycle the dialysate fluid during the night while the patient sleeps | continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) |
| rrhea | KUB |
