(31 cards)
the end stage of renal failure in which the patients dies of excess waste products in the blood
Uremia
inflammation of the little tuft of capillaries within the structural and functional unit of the kidneys (called a nephron) presents itself as blood in the urine
Glomerulo-nephritis
inflammation of the structural and functional unit of the kidneys caused by pyogenic or pus forming bacteria, burning during urination or cloudiness of urine
Pyelonephritis
inflammation of the renal pelvis, the central collection area for urine, same symptoms as pyelonephritis
Pyelitis
over distension of the renal pelvis due to blockage/ obstruction in the ureter
Hydronephritis
the presence or formation of nephrolis (kidney stones)
Nephrolithiasis
inflammation of one or both tubes conveying urine to the bladder
Ureteritis
inflammation of the urinary bladder, can be caused by not completely emptying the bladder and alteration in the cells making up the bladder “transitional cell carcinoma”
Cystitis
inflammation of the urethra, the single tube that conveys urine from the bladder to the outside of the body
Urethritis
patient has several enclosed sac like pouches/ cysts present in one or both kidneys
Polycystic kidneys
a condition in which a person’s kidneys is smaller than normal/ under developed since birth, “hypoplastic” would function properly but wouldn’t grow properly
Hypoplasia
“bad growth” a condition of improper function but regular size
Dysplasia
the sudden loss of the ability of the kidneys to remove waste and concentrate urine without losing electrolytes.
Acute renal failure
the sudden loss of the ability of the kidneys to remove waste and concentrate urine without losing electrolytes.
Chronic renal failure
inflammation of the innermost layer of the uterus, the endometrium, seen in women who use the IUD
Endometritis
inflammation of the endocervix, the neck-like portion of the uterus, common in women whose use the diaphragm or spermicide as a form of contraception
Endocervicitis
inflammation of the fallopian tubes, seen in patients with untreated gonorrhea
salpingitis
inflammation of one or both of the ovaries, caused by ovarian cancer or unfertilized eggs that have turned to scar tissue
Oophoritis
inflammation of the birth canal
Vaginitis
regardless of cause men seek treatment first left untreated could leave women sterile, NGU (non- gonorrheal urethritis) is most common STD
Gonorrheal and chlamydial infection
caused by spiral bacterial, staged disease, shanker lesion, tertiary (final) stage characterized by guma, damages the heart, blood vessels, and nervous system
Syphilis
pregnancy which occurs ectopic to the uterus, tubal ectopic pregnancy implantation occurs in the fallopian tubes, can also occur on the mothers abdominal cavity
Ectopic pregnancy
the toxemia of pregnancy, blood poisoning, cause mother to have convulsions, coma or death
Eclampsia
when endometrio tissue is found in some other part of the mothers body other than the endometrium
Endometeritis
