Studied by 4 peoplepolyuria
excess urination
oliguria
decreased urine production
anuria
absence of urination
hematuria
blood in urine
nocturia
urinating frequently at night
dysuria
painful urination
retention
inability to fully empty bladder
incontinence
involuntary urination
enuresis
bedwetting
glycosuria
sugar in urine
pyuria
pus in urine
cystitis
inflammation of the urinary bladder; caused by E. Coli-more common in females due to shorter urethra; dysuria, take antibiotics
glomerulonephritis
inflammation of the kidney; acute (suddenly, after another infection) chronic (slowly, over several years-leads to complete kidney failure); hematuria, hypertension, fatigue, congestive renal/heart failure, death-treat symptoms
renal calculi
kidney stones-when salts in urine settle, small ones can be passed, but will be painful; larger ones block ureters so will need lithotripsy (laser breaks them into smaller pieces), increased fluids, meds- sudden pain, hematuria, retention
renal failure
when kidneys lose ability to sufficiently filter waste from blood, acute or chronic-5 stages, 5th you need dialysis; oliguria
dialysis
hemodialysis-blood passes through machine with semi-permeable membrane to act like a kidney; takes 2-3hrs 3-4 times a week
renal transplant
if both kidneys fail-there's a risk of rejection
peritoneal dialysis
constantly collecting waste from blood; dialysate travels through a catheter and fills abdomen to clean cavity; fluid, waste, electrolytes, chemicals pass from blood vessels in peritoneum to dialysate
pyelonephritis
inflammation of kidney tissue and renal pelvis; caused by pyuria; chills, fever, back pain, dysuria, hematuria-take antibiotics
uremia
toxic condition where urinary waste is in bloodstream; symptoms-ammonia breath, anuria, headache, confusion, death, coma-dialysis, transplant
urethritis
inflammation of urethra; from bacteria, virus, chemicals; dysuria, itching at renal meatus, usually in men; treat-sitz bath, warm compressions, antibiotics, increase fluids
