| Nephritis | An inflammation of the kidneys |
| Nephrosis (Nephropathy) | Refers to a disease or disorder of the kidney. |
| Glomerulonephritis | An inflammation of the glomeruli of the kidney |
| Acute kidney failure | Some causes are blockage of urine flow, tumors, and enlarged prostate |
| Chronic renal failure (Chronic kidney disease) | Is a progressive disease in which renal function deteriorates |
| ESRD | Other organs are affected until the pt advances to the late stages of chronic renal failure |
| Calculus | Stone |
| Renal colic | Is acute pain caused by the passage of a kidney stone |
| Cystitis | Inflammation of the bladder |
| Urethritis | Inflammation of the urethra |
| Urethral stricture | Narrowing of the urethra |
| Urinary tract infection (UTI) | Abnormal presence of microorganisms in the urine |
| Benign prostatic hypertrophy | Abnormal enlargement of the prostate |
| Endometriosis | Abnormal growth of the endometrium outside the uterus |
| Female genital prolapse | Downward displacement of the genital organs |
| Complete prolapse | Entire uterus descends & protrudes beyond the introitus and vagina becomes inverted |
| Incomplete prolapse | Uterus descends into the introitus |
| Ovarian cysts | Sacs of the ovary that are filled with a semisolid or liquid material |
| Dysplasia | Abnormal development or growth of cells |
| Menopause | The time in a women's life when her menstrual cycle ceases |

| Perimenopusal | When symptoms of menopause starts |
| Postmenopausal | When a woman has not had a period for at least 1 year until the time she celebrates her 100th birthday |
| ARF | Acute renal failure |
| BPH | Benign prostatic hypertrophy |
| BUN | Blood,urea, nitrogen |
| CRF | Chronic renal failure |
| C&S | Culture & sensitivity |
| Cysto | Cystoscopy |
| ESRD | End stage renal disease |
| ESWL | Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy |
| IVP | Intravenous pyelogram |
| IVU | Intravenous urography |
| KUB | Kidneys, ureters, bladder |
| PD | Peritoneal dialysis |
| RD | Retrograde pyelogram |
| TURP | Transurethral resection of the prostate |
| U/A | Urinalysis |
| UTI | Urinary tract infection |
| VCUG | Voiding cystourethrogram |
| External sphincter | Controls the release of the urine from the bladder |
| Pyeloplasty | Plastic surgery on the renal pelvis of kidney |
| Neprorrhaphy | Suturing of a kidney wound or injury |
| Symphysiotomy for horseshoe kidney | Is completed to correct a horseshoe, a condition in which there is an abnormal union of the kidneys |
| Renal endoscopic procedures | Look like the kidneys |
| Cystostomy | Incision is made into the midline and carried through until the bladder is incised |
| Urodynamics | The study of the holding and storage of urine in the bladder, the motion of rate of the movement of the urine, and the analysis of how the bladder empties. |
| Open drainage of a perirenal abscess or renal abscess | Incision made into the area, the site is irrigated, and drain tubes are placed |
| Nephrolithotomy | Removal of kidney stones |
| Pyelotomy | Incision made into the renal pelvis |
| Ureterectomy | Removal of ureter |
| Partial Nephrectomy | Partial removal of kidney |
