| detrusor muscle | The smooth muscle in the wall of the bladder that contracts to expel urine. |
| erythropoietin | A hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. |
| glomerulus | A network of capillaries in the kidney where filtration of blood occurs. |
| hematuria | The presence of blood in the urine. |
| lithotripsy | A medical procedure that uses shock waves to break up kidney stones. |
| renal corpuscle | The part of the nephron in the kidney where filtration occurs, consisting of the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule. |
| renal tubule | The part of the nephron in the kidney where reabsorption and secretion occur, modifying the filtrate to form urine. |
| renin | An enzyme produced by the kidneys that helps regulate blood pressure. |
| uremia | A condition in which waste products accumulate in the blood due to kidney failure. |
| Renal calculi, commonly known as kidney stones | made up of calcium salts and other substances. Kidney stones may be of various sizes and numbers and may be found in different locations within the renal structures |
| Glomerulonephritis | bilateral inflammation of the glomeruli. Glomerulonephritis can also be idiopathic or of unknown origin, or it may be caused by an immune reaction that produces circulating antigen-antibody complexes that become trapped in the glomerular capillaries. |
| Glomerulonephritis drugs | Glomerulonephritis drugs |
| Thiazide Diuretics | chlorothiazide Diuril, chlorthalidone Thalitone, metolazonr Zaroxolyn |
| Loop Diuretics | bumetanide Bumex, ethacrynic acid Edecrin, furosemide Lasix, torsemide Demadex |
| Potassium-Sparing Diuretics | amiloride Midamor, spironolactone Aldactone, triamterene Dyrenium |
| Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors | dichlorphenamide Keveyis, methazolamide Methazolamide |
| Renal Failure | Acute renal failure is a sudden interruption of renal function. It can be caused by obstruction, poor circulation, or underlying kidney disease. Renal failure is usually reversible but if it is not spontaneously reversed, there is no current cure. |
| Neurogenic Bladder | a dysfunction of urinary bladder control that results in difficulty emptying the bladder or urinary incontinence. It may develop because of damage to the brain, spinal cord, or nerves that supply the lower urinary tract. |
