bladder neck obstruction
blockage at the base of the bladder that reduces or prevents urine from passing into the urethra

Any type of kidney disease in which there is little or no remaining kidney function; requiring dialysis or kidney transplant for survival
53
enuresis
incontinence
54
fistula
abnormal passage from a hollow organ to the surface or from one organ to another
55
hydronephorsis
abnormal dilation of the renal pelvis caused by pressure from accumulated urine that cannot flow past an obstruction in the urinary tract
56
IC
Interstitial cystitis
Chronic inflammation of the bladder wall that is not caused by bacterial infection and is not responsive to conventional antibiotic therapy
57
nephrotic syndrome
loss of large amounts of a plasma protein, usually albumin, though urine b/c increased permeability of the glomerular membrane
58
neurogenic bladder
impairment of bladder control as a result of brain, spinal cord or nerve damage
59
PKD
polycystic kidney disease
inherited disease in which cysts develop in the kidneys
60
pyelonephritis
infection of the kidney, usually as a result of an infection that begins in the urethra or bladder and ascends to the kidneys
61
VUR:
| vesicoureteral reflux
disorder caused by the failure of urine to pass through the ureters to the bladder, usually as a result of impairment of the valve between the ureter and bladder or obstruction in the ureter
62
Wilms tumor
rapidly developing malignant tumor of the kidney that usually occurs in children
63
electromyography
measure the contraction of muscles that control urination using electrodes placed in the rectum and urethra
64
cystoscopy
examination of the urinary bladder for evidence of pathology, to obtain biopsies of tumors or other growths or to remove polyps
65
BUN
Blood Urea Nitrogen
Test that determines the amount of nitrogen in blood that comes from urea (a waste product of protein metabolism)
66
C&S
Culture and sensitivity
Determines the causative organism of an infection and identifies how the organism responds to various antibiotics
67
UA
urinalysis
urine screening test that includes physical observation, chemical tests, and microscopic evaluation
68
bladder ultrasound
a non-invasive painless test that uses high-frequency soundwaves to produce images of the bladder before and after urination to check for urinary retention
69
IVP
Intravenous Pyelography
Imaging of the urinary tract after IV injection of a contrast medium; also called excretory urography
70
renal nuclear scan
nuclear imaging test using a radioactive substance (tracer) injected intravenously to produce images of the kidneys
71
voiding cystourethrography (VCUG)
X-ray of the bladder and urethra performed before, during and after voiding using a contrast medium to enhance imagining
72
nephrostomy
opening created between the skin and kidney to drain urine through a tube to a collecting receptacle outside the body when the ureters are unable to do so
73
ureteral stent placement
insertion of a thin narrow tube into the ureter to prevent or treat obstruction of urine flow from the kidney
74
Dialysis
filtering procedure used to remove fluid and waste products from the blood and correct for electrolyte imbalances
75
hemodialysis
dialysis in which an artificial kidney machine receives waste-filled blood, filters it using a solution called dialysate, then returns the dialyzed (clean) blood to the patient's bloodstream
76
peritoneal dialysis
dialysis in which toxic substances are removed from the body using the peritoneal membrane as the filter by perfusing (flushing) the peritoneal cavity with a warm, sterile chemical solution
77
potassium supplements
replace potassium after depletion caused by diuretics
