urinary pathology and procedures terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| anuria | condition of no urine |
| dysuria | condition of painful urination |
| enuresis | also commonly known as bedwetting, can be nocturnal or diurnal (during the day) |
| extrarenal uremia | excessive urea in blood (uremia) due to kidney failure caused by disease outside the kidney |
| extravasation of urine | condition of urine leaking outside the bladder and into surrounding tissues |
| hematuria | blood in the urine |
| urinary incontinence | inability to hold urine |
| nocturia | condition of excessive urination at night |
| oliguria | condition of scanty (few) urination |
| polyuria | condition of excessive urination |
| urinary retention | inability to release urine |
| vesical tenesmus | bladder spasms |
| hydronephrosis | dilation of the renal pelvis and calices of one or both kidneys resulting from obstruction of the floe of urine |
| pyelonephritis | bacterial or viral infection of the kidneys and renal pelvis |
| pyonephrosis | pus-producing infection of the kidney |
| vesicoureteral reflux | abnormal backflow of urine from the bladder to the ureter, usually associated with a urinary tract disorder and caused by congenital urethral malformation |
| renal failure | inability of the kidneys to excrete wastes, concentrate urine, and conserve electrolytes. may be acute or chronic |
| acute renal failure (ARF) | sudden inability of the kidneys to excrete wastes, resulting from hemorrhage, trauma, burns, toxic injury to the kidney, pyelonephritis or glomerulonephritis, or lower urinary tract obstruction. |
| chronic kidney disease (CKD) | measured in stages of increasing severity, from 1 (mild damage with a normal glomerular filtration rate) to 5 (complete kidney failure requiring either daily dialysis or a renal transplant). Stage 5 is also called ESRD. formerly called ChronicRenalFailure |
| urolithiasis | stones anywhere in the urinary tract, but ususally in the renal pelvis or urinary bladder |
| nephrogenic diabetes insipidus | a form of diabetes insipidus caused ny a defect in the renal tubules causing them to be unresponsive to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) |
| nephropathy | disease of the kidneys; a general term that does not specify a disorder |
| nephroptosis | prolapse or sagging of the kidney that occurs when the patient stands from a sitting position. also called renal ptosis |
| cystitis | inflammation of the urinary bladder |
| interstitial cystitis (IC) | a painful inflammation of the wall of the bladder. symptoms include urinary frequency and urgency. |
| trigonitis | inflammation of the bladder between the inlet of the ureters and outlet of the urethra. |
| urethral stricture | narrowing of the urethra. also called urethral stenosis |
| urethritis | inflammation of the urethra |
| urinary tract infection (UTI) | infection anywhere in the urinary system, caused most commonly by bacteria, but also by parasites, yeast, and protozoa. most frequently occurring disorder in the urinary system |
| renal adenoma | small, slow-growing, glandular, noncancerous tumors of the kidney, usually found at autopsy |
| renal onycocytoma | the most common benign solid renal tumor. these tumors are without signs or symptoms and are often discovered incidentally on diagnostic imaging for another disorder |
| transitional cell papilloma | also referred to as bladder papilloma. although this type of tumor is benign when found, recurrences are occasionally malignant |
| nephroblastoma | also called Wilms' tumor, these tumors develop from kidney cells that did not develop fully before a child's birth. mainly occur in children |
| renal cell carcinoma | also called "hypernephroma" or "adenocarcinoma" of the kidney, this is one of the most common cancers. unknown cause, smoking and obesity are risk factors |
| transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) | these malignant tumors account for approximately 90% of all bladder cancers and arise from the cells lining the bladder |
| cystectomy | cutting out all or part of the urinary bladder |
| cystolithotomy | incision to cut a stone out of the urinary bladder |
| cystoscopy | visual examination of the urinary bladder using a cystoscope |
| lithotripsy | process of crushing stones either to prevent or clear an obstruction in the urinary system |
| extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy | use of high-energy shock waves to crush stones in urinary system |
| meatotomy | incision of the urinary meatus to widen the opening |
| nephrectomy | resection of the kidney |
| nephrolithotomy | incision of the kidney for removal of a kidney stone |
| nephropexy | suspension or fixation of the kidney |
| nephrostomy | new opening and/or dilation of opening made in the kidney so that a catheter can be inserted |
| nephrotomy | incision of the kidney |
| pyeloplasty | surgical operation to repair a blockage between the renal pelvis and a ureter |
| renal dialysis | process of diffusing blood across a semipermeable membrane to remove substances that a healthy kidney would eliminate, including poisons, drugs, urea, uric acid, and creatinine |
| continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) | type of renal dialysis in which an indwelling catheter in the abdomen permits fluid to drain into and out of the peritoneal cavity to cleanse the blood |
| hemodialysis (HD) | type of renal dialysis that cleanses the blood by shunting it from the body through a machine for diffusion and ultrafiltration and then returning it to the patient's circulation |
| renal transplant | surgical transfer of a complete kidney from a donor to a recipient |
| urethrolysis | destruction of adhesions of the urethra |
| urinalysis (UA) | the physical, chemical, and/or microscopic examination of urine |
| blood urea nitrogen (BUN) | blood test that measures the amount of nitrogenous waste in the circulatory system; an increased level is an indicator of kidney dysfunction |
| creatinine clearance test | test of kidney function that measures the rate at which nitrogenous waste is removed from the blood by comparing its concentration in the blood and urine over a 24-hour period |
| glomerular filtration rate (GFR) | the amount of blood that is filtered by the glomeruli of the kidneys. this rate is decreased when the kidneys are dysfunctional |
| vesicotomy | incision of the urinary bladder |
