25
Hypoproteinemia
Abnormally low concentrations of protein in the blood
26
Hydronephrosis
Dilation of one or both kidneys
| Caused by backup of urine
27
Glomerulonephritis
Nephritis caused by inflammation of glomeruli that causes red blood cells and proteins to leak into the urine

Nephroptosis
Prolapse of a kidney into the pelvic area when the patient stands
29
Nephropyosis
Suppuration of the kidney
30
Polycystic kidney disease
Genetic disorder
Growth of fluid filled cysts in the kidneys
Replaces mass of kidney and leads to kidney failure

Presence of stones in the kidney
33
Nephrolith
Kidney stone
34
Ureterolith

39
Interstitial cystitis
Chronic inflammation of within the walls of the bladder
40
Vesicovaginal fistula
Abnormal opening between the bladder and vagina that allows constant involuntary flow of urine from the bladder into the vagina
41

Caused by interference with the normal nerve pathway associated with urination
42
Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Enlargement of prostate gland that most often occurs in men older than age 50
Difficult urination
43
Prostatism
Disorder results from compression or obstruction of the urethra due to benign prostatic hyperplasia

Surgical fixation of urethra to nearby tissue to relieve stress incontinence
59
Diuretics
Increase urine secretion
60
