| cyst/o | urinary bladder, cyst, sac of fluid |
| -ectasis | stretching, dilation, enlargement |
| glomerul/o | glomerulus- cluster of capillaries surrounded by membrane called Bowman's capsule |
| lith/o | stone, calculus abnormal mineral deposit named for organ or tissue where located |
| -lysis | breakdown, separation, setting free, destruction, loosening |
| nephr/o | kidney |
| -pexy | surgical fixation |
| pyel/o | renal pelvis, bowl of kidney |
| ren/o | kidney |
| -tripsy | to crush |
| ureter/o | ureter |
| urethr/o | urethra |
| -uria | urination, urine |
| homeostasis | homeo-sameness, stasis-control |
| urea | major waste product of protein metabolism |
| structures of urinary system | 2 kidneys, 2 ureters, 1 bladder, 1 urethra |
| 2 layers that surround the renal pelvis | renal cortex- outer layer, contains nephronsmedulla- inner layer, contains urine collecting tubules |
| nephrons | functional units of kidneys, forms urine by filtration, contains glomerulus |
| urochrome | uro-urine, chrome- color pigment gives normal yellow, amber, straw color |
| ureters | narrow tubes carries urine from kidney to urinary bladder |
| vesic/o | urinary bladder- hollow muscular reservoir for urine |
| urethra and urethral meatus | tube from bladder to urethral meatus-external opening of urethra |
| micturition | urination or voiding |
| nephrologist | specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases and disorders fo kidneys |
| urologist | specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases and disorders of urinary/ genitourinary systems |
| renal failure | kidney failure- inability of kidneys to perform their functions, damaged/destroyed nephrons result in failure |
| anuria | anuresis- complete suppression of urine formation |
| uremia | uremic poisoning- excessive amount of urea and waste in bloodstream |
| acute renal failure | ARF- sudden onset of uremia, may be caused by drop in blood volume or pressure due to injury or surgery |
| chronic renal failure | CRF- progressive disease. dialysis or transplant required |
| end-stage renal disease | ESRD- late stages of chronic renal failure |
| nephrotic syndrome | NS- characteristics- edema, hyperproteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia |
| nephrosis | nephropathy- nephrotic syndrome- diseases of kidney |
| diabetic nephropathy | damage to kidney's capillary blood vessels caused by long-term diabetes mellitus |
| glomerulonephritis | inflammation on kidneys,urine is dark brown or black, often related to autoimmune problem |
| hydronephrosis | dilation (enlargement) of renal pelvis, result of obstruction of urine flow |
| nephrectasis | distention (enlargement) of kidney |
| nephroptosis | floating kidney- downward displacement of kidney (ptosis- drooping or dropping down) |
| nephropyosis | suppuration (formation of pus) of kidney |
| pyelitis | inflammation of renal pelvis |
| pyelonephritis | inflammation of renal pelvis and kidney |
| renal colic | acute pain in kidney area caused by blockage during passage of kidney stone |
| nephrolithiasis, cystolithiasis, ureterolithiasis | stones in kidney, stones in urinary bladder, stones in ureter |
| hydroureter | distention of ureter with urine that cannot flow because of block |
| ureterectasis | distention (enlargement)of ureter |
| ureterorrhagia | discharge of blood from ureter |
| ureterostenosis | stricture (abnormal narrowing) of ureter |
| cystalgia, cystodynia | pain in urinary bladder |
| interstitual cystitis | inflammation within wall of bladder, cronic conditon like cystitis |
| cystocele | hernia of bladder through vaginal wall |
| cystorrhagia | bleeding from bladder |
| vesicovaginal fissure | abnormal opening between bladder and vagina |
| epispadias | congential abnormality- urethral opening is located on dorsal surface of penis or in region of clitoris |
| hypospadias | congenital abnormality- urethral opening on undersurface of penis or in the vagina |
| paraspadias | congenital abnormality in males- urethral opening is on one side of penis |
| diuresis | diur- increasing output of urine, esis- abnormal condition |
| dysuria | difficult or painful urination |
| enuresis | involuntary discharge of urine |
| nocturia | excessive urination during the night |
| oliguria, polyuria | olig- scanty, poly- many, excessive |
| urinary retention | inability to void or empty the bladder |
| urinary stress incontinence | inability to control voiding of urine under physical stress |
| urge incontinence | urination occurs involuntarily as soon as urgent desire is felt, caused by movement not full bladder |
| catheterization | insertion of sterile catheter through urethra into urinary bladder |
| intravenous pyelogram | IVP- radiographic study of kidneys and ureters where iodine is injected into a vein to define these structures more clearly |
| urinalysis | exam of urine to determine the presence of abnormal elements |
| dialysis | procedure to remove waste products from blood of pt whose kidneys no longer function |
| hemodialysis | HD- filters waste products from blood, arterial blood flows through the filters of artifical kidney machine |
| peritoneal dialysis | lining of peritoneal cavity acts as filter to remove waste from blood, dialysate solution(water and electrolytes) is run into cavity and fluid exchanged through catheter implanted in abdominal wall |
| continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis | CAPD- dialysate solution from plastic bag under pt clothing, solution drains back into bag every 6-8 hours then bag discarded for new one. |
| continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis | CCPD- machine cycles dialysate fluid during night while pt sleeps |
| nephrolysis | freeing of a kidney from adhesions |
| adhesions | band of fibers that holds structures together abnormally |
| lithotripsy | extracorporeal (situated or occurring outside the body) shock-wave lithotripsy, ESWL- destuction of kidney stone with use of ultrasonic waves through water |
| nephrolithotomy | surgical removal of kidney stone through an incision |
| cystopexy | surgical fixation of bladder to abdominal wall |
| lithotomy | surgical incision for removal of stone |
| meatotomy | incision of urinary meatus to enlarge the opening |
| urethropexy | surgical fixation of urethra for correction of urinary stress incontinence |
| urethrotomy | surgical incision into urethra for relief of stricture |
