|---|---|
| Nephr/o | Kidney(s) |
| ren/o | Kidney(s) |
| The kidneys are | bilateral organs that are shaped like kidney beans |
| The kidneys are located on each side of the spinal column in the | flank or retroperitoneal region |
| The kidneys are responsible for: | Removing nitrogenous (N) wastes from the blood. Maintaining water balance. |
| Examples of nitrogenous (N) waste include: | Urea Uric acid Creatinine |
| The kidneys regulate water balance in the body by | regulating the salts |
| The salts of the body are called | electrolytes (“lytes”) |
| The electrolytes (“lytes”) include: | Sodium (Na) Potassium (K) Chloride (Cl) |
| Remember- where salt goes, water follows which means | if you retain salt, you will retain water |
| Excess fluid can be referred to as | edema |
| Nephrectomy | Surgical removal of a kidney |
| Renal | Pertaining to a kidney |
| Ureter/o | Ureters(s) |
| The ureters are | bilateral tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder |
| A tube is AKA a | vessel or duct |
| Ureterostenosis | Narrowing of ureters |
| Cyst/o | Urinary bladder |
| Vesic/o | Urinary bladder |
| The urinary bladder is an | elastic sac that acts as a reservoir (storage container) for urine |
| Cystitis | Inflammation of the urinary bladder |
| Urethra/o | The Urethra |
| The urethra is the | vessel that carries urine from the urinary bladder to the outside world |
| The urethral opening is called the | urethral meatus (os, Orifice) or urinary meatus (os, Orifice) |
| Pyel/o | Renal pelvis |
| A renal pelvis is where a | ureter connects to a kidney |
| Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) | A record of the renal pelves using a dye that is injected within a vein to cause the renal pelves to show up well on X-rays |
| Materials that show up well on X-rays are called | radiopaque or contrast material |
| Azot/o | Nitrogen (N) |
| Azotemia | A blood condition of excessive nitrogenous waste |
| Urin/o | Urine or urinary tract |
| Ur/o | Urine or urinary tract |
| Urologist | Specialist in the study of male and female urinary systems and the male reproductive system |
| -uria | Urine or urination |
| Noct/i | Night |
| Nocturia | A condition of chronic night urination |
| Chronic means | persistent |
| Gluc/o | Sugar (glucose) |
| Glyc/o | Sugar (glucose) |
| Glycos/o | Sugar (glucose) |
| Glycosuria | A condition of sugar in the urine |
| Albumin/o | Albumin |
| Albumin is a | blood protein |
| Albuminuria OR Proteinuria | A condition of albumin or protein in the urine |
| Nephritis | Inflammation of a kidney |
| Cystocele | Herniation of the urinary bladder |
| Cystolith(s) | Stone(s) in the urinary bladder |
| Nephroblastoma | Tumor or mass of a kidney |
| Hydronephrosis | Abnormal condition of excess water (fluid) in a kidney |
| Nephrohypertrophy | Excessive growth or development of a kidney |
| Nephrolithiasis | Abnormal condition of (a) kidney stones(s) |
| Another name for stone is a | calculus |
| More than one stone is called a | calculi |
| Nephromegaly | Enlargement of a kidney |
| nephroptosis | Drooping or sagging (prolapsed) of a kidney |
| Pyelitis | Inflammation of a renal pelvis |
| Pyelonephritis | Inflammation of a renal pelvis and a kidney |
| Uremia (uremic) | A blood condition of excessive nitrogenous waste (N) AKA azotemia (azotemic) |
| Ureteritis | Inflammation of a ureters |
| Ureterocele | Herniation of a ureters |
| Ureterolithiasis | Abnormal condition of stone(s) in a ureters |
| Urethrocystitis | Inflammation of urethra and the urinary bladder |
| Cystectomy | Excision of the urinary bladder |
| Cystotomy | Surgical incision of the urinary bladder |
| Vesicotomy | Surgical incision of the urinary bladder |
| Cystolithotomy | Surgical incision of the urinary bladder to remove a stone which is called cystolithectomy |
| Cystoplasty | Surgical repair of the urinary bladder |
| Cystorrhaphy | Suturing the urinary bladder |
| Cystostomy | A new or artificial opening into the urinary bladder |
| A new or artificial opening can also be called | a stoma |
| ESWL | Extracorporeal Shock Waves Lithotripsy |
| Lithotripsy means | crushing stone(s) |
| Meatotomy | Surgical incision of the meatus |
| Nephrostomy | New or artificial opening into a kidney |
| Pyelolithotomy | Surgical incision os a renal pelvid to remove a stone(s) which called pyelolithectomy |
| pyeloplasty | surgical repair of a renal pelvis |
| pyelostomy | a new or artificial opening into a renal pelvis |
| ureterectomy | surgical removal of a ureter |
| ureterotomy | surgical incision of a ureter |
| urethropexy | surgical fixation of the urethra |
| ureterostomy | new or artificial opening into a ureter |
| urethroplasty | surgical repair of the urethra |
| urethrotomy | surgical incision of the urethra |
| urethrostomy | a new or artificial opening into the urethra |
| cystogram | a record (X-ray) of the urinary bladder |
| cystography | process of recording (X-ray) the urinary bladder |
| cystopyelogram | record (X-ray) of the urinary bladder and a renal pelvis |
| cystopyelography | process of recording (X-ray) the urinary bladder and a renal pelvis |
| ureterogram | record(X-ray) of a ureter |
| cystoureterogram | record (X-ray) of the urinary bladder and aureter |
| cystourethrogram | record (X-ray) of the urinary bladder and the urethra |
| nephrogram | record (X-ray) of a kidney |
