urination or urine

term used to describe some types of treatment of prostate cancer, removal of the body part or distruction

a sudden onset and is characterized by uremia. Fatal if not reversed. Caused by the kidneys not receiving enough blood to filter due to dehydration or a sudden drop in blood volume or blood pressure due to injury, burns, or a severe infection.

Relaxes muscles in prostate and bladder neck; improve urination in BPH

Treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract

Prevent or reduce bladder muscle spasms

absence of urine formation by the kidneys. Caused by failed kidney function or a urinary tract obstruction

or enlarged prostate, an enlargement of the prosate gland that most often occurs in men older than age 50, can make urination difficult and causes other urinary tract problems.

gradual loss of kidney function, with progressively more severe renal insufficiency

peritoneal dialysis involving the continuous presence of dialysis solution in the peritoneal cavity

inflammation fo the bladder

or prolapsed bladder, is a hernia of the bladder through the vaginal wall

stone located within the urinary bladder

the surgical fixation of the bladder to the abdominal wall

visual examination of the urinary bladder with the use of a specialzed type of endoscope known as a cytoscope

procedure to remove waste products such as urea, creatinine, as well as excess water from the blood of a pateint whose kidneys no long function.

performed on men by using a lubricated, gloved finger placed into the rectum to palpate the prostate gland to detect prostate enlargement and to look for indication of prostate cancer or tumors of the rectum

the increased output of the urine

medications adminstered to increase urine secretion, primarily to rid the body of excess water and salt

the final stage of chronic kidney disease, and this condtion is fatal unless the functions of the failed kidneys are successfully replaced by dialysis or a sucessful kidney transplant.

the involuntary discharge of urine

congenital abnormality of the urethral opening

the most common kidney stone treatment, high energy ultrasonic waves travelin through water or gel are used to break up stone into fragments

a type of nephritis caused by inflammation of the glomeruli that causes red blood cells and protiens to leak into the urine

is the process by which waste products are filtered directly form the patient's blood

dilation of one or both kidneys, which can cause problems assoicatied with the backing up of urine due to an obstruction such as a nephrolith or stricuture in the ureter

the condtion of the distention of the ureter with urine that cannot flow because the ureter is blocked, alwaus accompanies hydronephrosis

the presence of abnormally high concentrations of protein in the urine

the presence of abnormally low concentrations of protein in the blood , often assocaited with hyperproteinuria

congenital abnormality of the urethral opening

the inability to control the excretion of urine, feces, or both

a chronic inflammation within the walls of the bladder, sympotoms similar to cystitis but do not respond to treatment.

or excetroy urography, a radiographic study of the kidneys and ureters. Using a contrast medium it is used to diagnose changes in the urinary tract resulting from nephroliths, infections, enlarged prostate, tumors, and internal injuries after an abdominal truama

radiographic study without the use of a contrast medium used to detect bowel obstructions and nephroliths

surgical freeing of a kidney from adhesions

Dilation or distention of the pelvis of the kidney.

known as kidney stone or renal claculus, found in the kidney

describes the presence of stones in the kidneys. As the stones travel through the urine, they are named after the location where they become lodged.

microscopic functional units of each kidney. The location that urine is produced through a process of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion

any disease of the kidney, including degenerative and inflammatory condtions

or floating kidneys, the prolapse or dropping down of the kidney into the pelvic area when the patient stands

or pyonephrosis, suppuration of the kidney

the placement of a catheter to maintain an opening from the pelvis of one or both kidneys to the exterior of the body.

or nephrosis, a group of condtions in which excessive amounts of a protein are lost through the urine. Normally caused by damage to kidney's glomeruli resulting in low protein level in the blood

urinary problem caused by interference with the normal nerve pathways associated with urination

frequent and excessive urination during the night

urinary icontinence during sleep

means scanty urination. Caused by dehydration, renal failure, or a urinary tract obstruction.

surgicalremoval of a nephrolith through a small incision in the back. A small tube is temporatly inserted into the kidney, first urine is removed then the pieces of the crushed stone.

the lining of the peritoneal cavity acts as the filter to remove waste from the blood

genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous fluid filled cysts in the kidneys, the cysts slowly replace the kidney and reduce kidney function which leads to kidney failure

excessive urination and is common symptom of diabetes

blood test is used to screen for prostate cancer, measures the amount of prostate specific antigen that are present in the blood specimen

disorder resulting from the compression or obsrtuction of the urethra due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, difficulty in urination and with urinary retention.

the surgical repair of the ureter and renal pelvis

Incision into the pelvis of the kidney.

the placement of a catherter into the bladder through a small incision made through the abdominalwall just above the pubic bone

the removal of excess tissue form the enlarged prostate with the use of a resectoscope

or uremic poisoning, a toxic condtion resulting from renal failure in which kidney function is compromised and urea and other waste products normally secreted in the urine are retained in the blood.

the distention of a ureter

stone located anywhere along the ureter

the discharge of blood from the ureter

surgical suturing of a ureter

inflammation of the urethra

surgical fixation of the urethra to nearby tissue , usually perfomed to correct urinary stress incontinence

bleeding from the urethra

or urethral stricture, narrowing of the urethra, most common in men and is caused by scarring from infection or injury

Surgical formation of a permanent opening between the urethra and the skin.

the insetion of a tube into the bladder to procure a sterile specimen for dignostic purposes, it is also used to remove urine from the bladder and place medication into the bladder

usually begins with the bladder, such infections could affect all parts of the urinary system. Common infections are caused by bacteria, most often E coli, entering the urinary system through the urethra

abnomormal opening between the bladder and vagina that allows constant involuntary flow of urine form the bladder into the vagina, normally caused by prolonged labor during childbirth or surgery such as hysterectomy

a diagnostic procedure in which a fluroscope is used to examine the flow of urine from the bladder and through the urethra

rare type of malignant tumor of the kidney that occurs in young children. Has a high cure rate when treated promptly.
