Urinary system
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| UTI | Urinary tract infection |
| U&E | Urea and Electrolytes |
| What is the primary function of the Urinary system | Fluid balance of the body, excretion of waste |
| Explain how blood creatinine is a measure of kidney function | Creatinine is a waste product removed by the kidneys. If kidney function decline, this waste product Creatinine accumulates in the blood |
| Identify what forces fluid out of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule during the formation of urine | Blood pressure |
| UA | Urinalysis |
| Dysuria | painful micturition |
| haematuria | blood in urine |
| enuresis | involuntary passing of urine |
| polyuria | marked increase in discharge/passing of urine |
| polydipsia | excessive thirst |
| pyuria | pus in urine |
| Scanty output of urine | Oliguria |
| Infection of the urinary bladder | Cystitis |
| Once water and essential substances such as sodium, potassium and calcium have been resorbed into the blood stream, the remaining filtrate is called: | urine |
| The glomerulus consists of | capillaries that are formed into a tight ball |
| How does the function of the kidney impact/affect red blood cell production | Erythropoietin is released by the kidneys which stimulates red cell production |
| The outer layer of the kidney is called the: | cortex |
| The functional unit of the kidney | nephron |
| The ureter connects which part of the kidney with the bladder? | renal pelvis |
| The patient had impaired renal function with a build-up of waste products in the blood | Uraemia |
| A lab test that is required to assess the fluid and acid base balance of the body | Electrolytes |
| A lab test commonly requested if the patient has hypertension | Renin and/or Aldosterone |
| Give the reason for the production of erythropoietin by the kidney | Stimulates red blood cell production |
| Once water and essential substances such as __________, __________ and _____________ have been resorbed into the blood stream, the remaining filtrate is called urine | sodium, potassium and calcium |
| Which nitrogenous waste product (From protein metabolism) is excreted by the kidney? | urea |
| Describe the functions of the urinary system | *Filters metabolic waste products from the blood *Secretes waste products from the body in the urine *Plays and important role in the regulation of body fluids *and the regulation of pH balance of the blood |
| Nephritis | Inflammation of the kidneys |
| IVP | Intravenous pyelography |
| What is the clinical correlation for Urine Osmolality | Fluid balance of the body |
| What is the clinical correlation for Renin | Hypertension |
| What is the clinical correlation for Creatinine | |
| What is the clinical correlation for Aldosterone | Hypertension |
| What is the clinical correlation for nmp 22 | Bladder cancer test |
| What is urea? | Urea is the breakdown product of amino acids |
| Urinary | Pertaining to the urinary tract |
| eGFR | estimated glomerular filtration rate |
| EPO | erythropoietin |
| BUN | Blood urea nitrogen |
| Renal | Pertaining to the kidney |
| Hypertension | Increased blood pressure |
| Micturition | The act of passing urine |
| Specific gravity | The density of a fluid compared with that of an equal volume of water |
| Renal dialysis | Procedure to remove waste products from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning |
| Renal calculi | Crystals of calcium, oxalate, uric acid other chemicals form within the tubules |
| Renal failure | A complete cessation of kidney function resulting in the need for renal dialysis and kidney transplantation |
| Urinary tract infection | Any bacterial infection of the urinary tract |
| Albuminuria | The presence of albumin in the urine |
| Anuria | Stoppage of flow of urine |
| Catheterization of the bladder | The act of passing a catheter through the urethra into the bladder to drain the urine from the bladder |
| Cystoscope | Instrument for examining the interior of the b;adder and urethra |
| Which 2 hormones does the kidneys produce? | Renin and Erythrop[oietin |
