Question
Answer
regions or areas of subcutaneous swelling caused by an allergic reaction to food or drugs   angioedema  
🗑
complete cessation of urinary secretion by the kidneys; aka anuresis   anuria  
🗑
presence of bacteria in the urine   bacteriuria  
🗑
contraction of the bronchi and bronchiolar muscles, producing restriction of air passages   bronchospasm  
🗑
an agent that increases excretion of urine   diuretic  
🗑
fecal matter in the urine   fecaluria  
🗑
glucose in the urine   glucosuria  
🗑
blood in the urine   hematuria  
🗑
closure of the glottic aperture within the glottic opening of the larynx   laryngospasm  
🗑
brand name for a diuretic   lasix  
🗑
a therapeutic technique that uses sound waves to shatter large kidney stones into small particles that can be passed   lithotripsy  
🗑
the act of voiding or urination   micturation  
🗑
excessive downward movement of the kidney when erect   nephroptosis  
🗑
excretion of a diminished amount of urine in relation to fluid intake, usually defined as less than 400 ml per 24 hours   oliguria  
🗑
presence of gas in the urine, usually as the result of a fistula between the bladder and the intestine   pneumouria  
🗑
passage of a large volume of urine in relation to fluid intake during a given period   polyuria  
🗑
the presence of excessive serum proteins in the urine   proteinuria  
🗑
absence of formation of a kidney   renal agenesis  
🗑
the inability of a kidney to excrete metabolites at normal plasma levels, or the inability to retain electroloytes under conditions of normal intake   renal failure  
🗑
results from a wide variety of conditions and may require hemodialysis or transplantation   chronic renal failure  
🗑
the inability to void, which may be due to obstruction in the urethra or lack of sensation to urinate   retention  
🗑
an excess in the blood of urea, creatinine, and other nitrogenous end products of protein and amino acid metabolism   uremia  
🗑
an eruption of hives often caused by hypersensitivity to food or drugs   urticaria  
🗑
an enlargement of the prostate that generally begins in the fifth decade of life. may cause urethral compression and obstruction.   Beningn prostatic hyperplasia  
🗑
stones that form in the urinary bladder.   bladder calculi  
🗑
a tumor that is three times more common in males than females. causes hematuria and frequent urination.   bladder carcinoma  
🗑
structural or chemical imperfections or alterations present at birth.   congenital anomalies  
🗑
involves two ureters and/or the renal pelvis originating from the same kidney   duplication of ureter and renal pelvis  
🗑
describes a normal kidney that fails to ascend into the abdomen but rather remains in t he pelvis. this type of kidney has a shorter than normal ureter.   ectopic kidney  
🗑
occurs as a fusion of the kidneys during development of the fetus.   horseshoe kidney  
🗑
abnormal rotation of the kidney that is evident when the renal pelvis is turned from a medial to an anterior or posterior direction   malrotation  
🗑
an inflammation of the urinary bladder caused by a bacterial or fungal infection. more common in females because of the shorter urethra that more readily permits retrograde passage of bacteria into the bladder.   cystitis  
🗑
inflammation of the capillary loops of the glomeruli of the kidneys   glomerulonephritis  
🗑
disorder marked by cysts scattered throughout one or both kidneys. most common cause of enlarged kidneys.   polycystic kidney disease  
🗑
calcifications that occur in the luminal aspect of the urinary tract   renal calculi  
🗑
large stone that grows and completely fills the renal pelvis, blocking the flow of urine   staghorn calculus  
🗑
most frequent type of malignant tumor of the kidney   renal cell carcinoma (hypernephroma)  
🗑
distention of the renal pelvis and calyces of the kidneys that results from some obstruction or the ureters or renal pelvis.   hydronephrosis  
🗑
an inflammation of the kidney and renal pelvis caused by pyogenic bacteria.   pyelonephritis  
🗑
increased blood pressure to the kidney through the renal artery due to atherosclerosis.   renal hypertension  
🗑
a fistula that forms between the urinary bladder and rectum or aspects of the colon.   vesicoretal fistula  
🗑
scout demonstrates abnormal calcifications that may be urinary calculi. after injection, the AP projection may demonstrate signs of obstruction, hydronephrosis, tumor, or infection.   AP projection (scout and series): intravenous (excretory) urography  
🗑
nephrogram or nephrotomogram demonstrates conditions and trauma to the renal parenchyma. renal cysts and/or adrenal masses may be demonstrated during this phase of the IVU.   nephrotomogram and nephrogram: intravenous (excretory) urography  
🗑
signs of infection, trauma, and obstruction of the elevated kidney are shown. also demonstrates trauma or obstruction of the downside ureter.   RPO and LPO positions: intravenous (excretory) urography  
🗑
position may demonstrate enlarged prostate (possible BPH) or prolapse of the bladder. the erect position demonstrates nephrotosis (abnormal positional change of kidneys).   AP projection: intravenous (excretory) urography. postvoid  
🗑
pyelonephritis and other conditions involving the collecting system of the kidney are shown.   AP projection: intravenous (excretory) urography. ureteric compression  
🗑
signs of cystitis, obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux, and bladder calculi are visualized. lateral demonstrates possible fistulas between bladder and uterus or rectum.   AP projection. LPO and RPO positions. Lateral position (optinal): cystography  
🗑
functional study of the urinary bladder and urethra determines cause of urinary retention and evaluates for possible vesicoureteral reflux.   RPO (30) position- male. AP projection- female: voiding cystourethrography  
🗑
