CH 15: Part III

propogate the grown of microorganisms from urine, identify them, find drugs they are sensitive to

• blood test to determine the level of urea in the blood
• high BUN=inability of kidney to extrete urea

test to determine level of creatinine in blood-to assess kidney function

test to determine level of creatinine in the urine

measuring the level of creatinine in the blood and urine to- then determining the rate that it is cleared from the blood by the kidneys

method of destroying stones within the urinary tract using electrical energy discharges by an endoscope

incision into the kidney

suture of a kidney

incision into the kidney to remove stones

excision of a kidney

surgical reonstruction/repair of the renal pelvis

a device to hold open vessels or tubes (in Kidney, ex: ureter)

transfer of kidneyfrom the body of one person to another

creation of a temporary or permanent diversion of the urinary tract to provide a new passage for urine to exit the body

using a portion of the ileum as a conduit which the ureters attach to, this is then brought to an opening through the abdomen to drain the urine

• internal pouch constructed to collect pee using a segment of the intestines-empties through abdominal wall
• valve is created to prevent leakage-emptied by catheterization

bladder constructed from portion of the intestine-attached to urethra-allows natural voiding of urine

using ultrasound to disinigrate a stone within

filtering impurities from the blood when one or both kidneys fail

removing impurities by pumping blood through a dialyzer (the "filter" of the aritificial kidney machine)

removing impurities using the peritoneum as a filter

• strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor
• maintains proper organ placement and continence

• placing a tube into the bladder to drain/collect urine
• 3 types

• inserted through the urethra into the bladder
• removed afterwards

• indwelling catheter inserted through the urethra into bladder
• urine drains into a bag which can remain for an extended time

• indwelling catheter inserted directly into the bladder through an abdominal incision above the pubic bone
• urine drains into a bag-long term

drug that relieves pain

kills/inhibits growth of microorganisms

relieves spasm

increases urine secretion
