| ramato spermo | primitive sperm cell |
| anuria | without urine |
| bladder neck obstructor (BNO) | blockage preventing back flow into the ureter |
| Chronic Renal Failure | occurs over a period of years where the kidneys lose their ability to maintain volume and composition of bodily fluids |
| Cystocele | prolapsing or downward displacement of the bladder due to weakening of the supporting tissues between a woman's bladder and vagina |
| dysuria | painful urination |
| end stage renal disease | kidney function totally and perminant lost |
| enuresis | involuntary urine- bed wetting |
| fistula | abnormal passage from a hollow organ to the surface or from one organ to another |
| azotenia | relention of excessive amounts of nitrogenous compounds (urea, creatinine and uric acid) in the blood. Also called uremia |
| frequency | voiding at frequent intervals |
| hesitancy | involuntarily delay in initiating urination |
| nocturia | excessive or frequent urination after going to bed |

| interstitial cystitis | chronic inflammation of the bladder wall that is not caused by bacterial infection- non responsive to medications- also called painful bladder syndrome |
| Nephronic syndrome | glomular syndrome increased permeability to allow things through that shouldn't go through |
| vesicoureteral reflex | -condition in which urine travels backward from the bladder to ureter |
| Glomerulone phrosis | glomerular disease from (nephrosis)- urine has large amounts of protein so blood protein is low |
| hypopoproteinemia | abnormally low levels of protein in the blood |
| neurogenic bladder | Impairment of bladder control due to brain or nerve conduction |
| polycystic kidney disease | inherited disease in which sacs of fluid called cysts develop in the kidneys |
| Urgency | sensation of the need to void immediately |
| Wilms tumor | rapidly developing malignant neoplasm of the kidney that usually occurs in children |
| Dialysis Hemodialysis | dialysis - mechanical filtering process Hemodialysis-filters blood with waster and returns clean blood |
| dialisys - peritoneal | removal of toxins and flushing the peritoneal cavity |
| Blood creatinine | a blood test that indirectly measures normal kidney function-- creatinine levels rise when kidney function decreases |
| cystometrography | procedure that measures volume and pressure int he bladder at various stages of filling - saline and a contrast medium are introduced into the bladder through a catheter |
| kidney transplant | replacement of a kidney with one that is supplied by a compatible donor |
| Nephropexy | Fix kidney in place |
| Nephrostomy | tube through the skin and into the renal pelvis to drain urine to a collecting receptacle outside the body when the ureters are unable to do so |
| Stent Placement | insertion of a mesh tube into a natural passage |
| Stent Placement- Ureteral | Insertion of mesh tube in ureter |
| Urethrotomy | Insertion of a urethral stricture |
| electromyography | measures the contraction of muscles that control urination using electrodes placed in the rectum and urethra |
| cystoscopy | visual of bladder- examination using a specialized endoscope |
| Blood urea nitrogen | Waste products- determines the amount of nitrogen in blood that comes from urea |
| culture and sensitivity | determines what organism creates disease |
| urinalysis | urine screening test that include observation chemical tests and microscopic evaluation |
| Ultrasonography | High frequency sound waves that create and image |
| intravenous pyelography | imaging of the urinary tract after IV injection of a contrast medium also called excretory urography |
| nuclear scan | radiopharmaceutical used as a tracer ingested or injected and a specialized gamma camera is used to get an image |
| Nuclear Scan - renal | used to determine their size shape and position |
| voiding cystourethrography | x-ray for the bladder and urethra performed before, during and after voiding using a contrast medium to enhance imaging |
| antibiotics | used to treat bacterial infection of the urinary tract by acting on the bacterial membrane or one of its metabolic processes |
| antispasmodics | decrease spasms in the urethra and bladder by relaxing the smooth muscles linning their walls thus allowing normal emptying of the bladder |
| diuretics | promote and increase the excretion of urine |
