increase of nitrogenous substances, especially urea, in urine

increased formation ad secretion of urine

painful or difficult urination, symptomatic of cystitis and other urinary tract conditions

kidney disease that had advanced to the point that the kidneys can no longer adequately filter the blood and, ultimately, requires dialysis or renal transplantation for survival; aka chronic renal failure (CRF)

involuntary discharge of urine after the age at which bladder control should be established; aka bed-wetting at night or nocturnal enuresis

abnormal congenital opening of the male urethra on the undersurface of the penis

condition associated w/ pathological changes in the renal interstitial tissue that may be primary or due to a toxic agent, such as a drug or chemical, which results n destruction of nephrons and severe impairment in renal function

high blood pressure that results from kidney disease

elevated level of urea and other nitrogenous waste products in the blood, as occurs in renal failure; aka azotemia

malignant neoplasm of the kidney that occurs in young children, usually before age 5

laboratory test that measures the amount of urea (nitrogenous waste product) in the blood and demonstrates the kidneys' ability to filter urea from the blood for excretion in urine

radiographic examination to determine the location, size, shape, and malformation of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder

radiographic study of the kidney, ureters, and usually the bladder after injection of a contrast agent

radiographic imaging in which a contrast medium is injected intravenously and serial x-ray films are taken to provide visualization of the entire urinary tract; aka intravenous urography (IVU) or excretory urography (EU)

radiographic imaging in which a contrast medium is introduced through a cystoscope directly into the bladder and ureters using small caliber catheters

nuclear medicine imaging procedure that determines renal function and shape through measurement of a radioactive substance that is injected intravenously and concentrates in the kidney

physical, chemical, and microscopic evaluation of urine

radiography of the bladder and urethra after filling the bladder with a contrast medium and during the process of voiding urine

insertion of a catheter (hollow flexible tube) into a body cavity or organ to instill a substance or remove fluid, most commonly. through the urethra into the bladder to w/draw urine

mechanical filtering process used to cleanse blood of high concentrations of metabolic waste products, draw off excess fluids, and regulate body chemistry when kidneys fail to function properly

process of removing excess fluids and toxins from the blood by continually shunting (diverting) the patient's blood from the body into a dialysis machine for filtering, and then returning the clean blood to the patient's body via tubes connected to the circulatory system

dialysis in which the patient's own peritoneum is used as the dialyzing membrane

organ transplant of a kidney in a patient with end-stage renal disease; aka kidney transplantation

blood condition

opening, meatus
