25
ur/o
urine
26
urin/o
urine
27
-poietin
substance that forms
28
-tripsy
crushing
29
-uria
urination, urine condition
30
pH
indicates degree of acidity or alkalinity
31
protein (urinalysis)
if it is enough to show on urinalysis, it is probably albumin
32
glucose (urinalysis)
not normally found
33
specific gravity (urinalysis)
comparison of density of urine with that of water
34
```
ketone bodies (acetones)
(urinalysis)
```
occur with breakdown of fat instead of glycogen
35
sediment (urinalysis)
if found, is abnormal (accumulation of abnormal elements in urine)
36
glomerul/o/nephr/itis
inflammation of the glomerulus within the kidney
37
interstitial nephr/itis
inflammation of tissue between renal tubule
38
nephro/lith/iasis
abnormal condition of stones in the kidney
39
nephr/osis (nephrotic syndrome)
abnormal condition of the kidney (due to loss of protein)
40
hydronephrosis
caused by obstruction in proximal part of ureter
41
hydroureter
caused by stone in distal part of ureter
42
hyper/nephr/oma
renal cell carcinoma
43
renal hypertension
high blood pressure resulting from kidney disease
44
Wilms tumor
| nephroblastoma
malignant tumor of the kidney occurring in childhood
45
BUN (lab test)
blood urea nitrogen. urea is excreted in urine; when kidney is diseased or fails, it accumulates in the blood (uremia or azotemia)
46
creatinine clearance (lab test)
measurement of rate creatinine is cleared from blood by kidney
47
CT urography (clinical procedure)
x-ray images obtained using computed tomography (shows multiple cross-sectional and other views of kidneys)
48
KUB (clinical procedure)
x-ray of kidney, ureter, and bladder (no contrast used)
49
renal angiography (clinical procedure)
contrast material injected into blood vessels of kidney, then x-ray is taken)
50
retrograde pyelogram (clinical procedure)
x-ray image of the renal pelvis and utters after injection of contrast dye through urinary catheter into the ureters from bladder
51
ultrasonography (clinical procedure)
imaging of urinary tract structure using high-frequency sound waves
52
cystoscopy (clinical procedures)
visualization of urethra and urinary bladder with an instrument called a cystoscope
53
Hemodialysis (peritoneal dialysis)
machine that receives waste-filled blood, filtering it through a porous membrane (dialyzer) and returns dialyzed blood to patient's body. A fistula (abnormal connection between organs) is created to provide access.
54
catheter (peritoneal dialysis)
used to introduce fluid into the peritoneal cavity. waste material passes out of the bloodstream and into the fluid. fluid is then removed by catheter.
55
lith/o/tripsy
crushing of stones
56
ren/al angi/o/plasty
dilation of narrowed areas in renal arteries
57
ren/al bi/opsy
removal of kidney tissue for microscopic examination
58
renal transplant
surgical transfer of a kidney from donor to a recipient
59
urinary catheterization
passage of a flexible, tubular instrument through the urethra into the urinary bladder
